Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AB < AC$, let $\Gamma$ be its circumcircle and let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $BC$. Take a point $E$ on the segment $BC$ such that $CE=BD$. Let $P$ be the point on $\Gamma$ diametrically opposite to vertex $A$. Prove that $PE$ is perpendicular to $BC$.

Danielle has an $m \times n$ board and wants to fill it with pieces composed of two or more diagonally connected squares as shown, without overlapping or leaving gaps: a) Find all values of $(m,n)$ for which it is possible to fill the board. b) If it is possible to fill an $m \times n$ board, find the minimum number of pieces Danielle can use to fill it. Note: The pieces can be rotated.

Let $M$ be a non-empty set of positive integers and let $S_M$ be the sum of all the elements of $M$. We define the tlacoyo of $M$ as the sum of the digits of $S_M$. For example, if $M=\{2,7,34\}$, then $S_M=2+7+34=43$ and the tlacoyo of the set $M$ is $4+3=7$. Prove that for every positive integer $n$, there exists a set $M$ of $n$ distinct positive integers, such that all its non-empty subsets have the same tlacoyo.

The $n$-factorial of a positive integer $x$ is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to $z$ that are congruent to $z$ modulo $n$. For example, for the number 16, its 2-factorial is $16 \times 14 \times 12 \times 10 \times 8 \times 6 \times 4 \times 2$, its 3-factorial is $16 \times 13 \times 10 \times 7 \times 4 \times 1$ and its 18-factorial is 16. A positive integer is called olympic if it has $n$ digits, all different than zero, and if it is equal to the sum of the $n$-factorials of its digits. Find all positive olympic integers.

Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(f(x+y) - f(x)) + f(x)f(y) = f(x^2) - f(x+y),$ for all real numbers $x, y$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be the lengths of the sides opposite vertices $A$, $B$, and $C$, respectively. Let $R$ be its circumradius and $r$ its inradius. Suppose that $b + c = 2a$ and $R = 3r$. The excircle relative to vertex $A$ intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ at points $P$ and $Q$. Let $U$ be the midpoint of side $BC$, and let $I$ be the incenter of $ABC$. Prove that $U$ is the centroid of triangle $QIP$.
