Two circles meet at points $A$ and $B$. A line through $B$ intersects the first circle again at $K$ and the second circle at $M$. A line parallel to $AM$ is tangent to the first circle at $Q$. The line $AQ$ intersects the second circle again at $R$. $(a)$ Prove that the tangent to the second circle at $R$ is parallel to $AK$. $(b)$ Prove that these two tangents meet on $KM$.

In conference there $n>2$ mathematicians. Every two mathematicians communicate in one of the $n$ offical languages of the conference. For any three different offical languages the exists three mathematicians who communicate with each other in these three languages. Find all $n$ such that this is possible.

Let $a\geq b\geq c\geq 0$ are real numbers such that $a+b+c=3$. Prove that $ab^{2}+bc^{2}+ca^{2}\leq\frac{27}{8}$ and find cases of equality.

Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. Determine $\sum_{k=1}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\left \lbrace \frac{k^2}{p} \right \rbrace$, where $\{x\}=x-[x]$.
