Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H$. The circumcircle of the triangle $BHC$ intersects $AC$ a second time in point $P$ and $AB$ a second time in point $Q$. Prove that $H$ is the circumcenter of the triangle $APQ$. (Karl Czakler)
On a table, we have ten thousand matches, two of which are inside a bowl. Anna and Bernd play the following game: They alternate taking turns and Anna begins. A turn consists of counting the matches in the bowl, choosing a proper divisor $d$ of this number and adding $d$ matches to the bowl. The game ends when more than $2024$ matches are in the bowl. The person who played the last turn wins. Prove that Anna can win independently of how Bernd plays. (Richard Henner)
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that $a(n) = n^5 +5^n$ is divisible by $11$ if and only if $b(n) = n^5 ยท 5^n +1$ is divisible by $11$. (Walther Janous)
