In a triangle $ABC$, the angle bisector of $\widehat{ABC}$ meets $[AC]$ at $D$, and the angle bisector of $\widehat{BCA}$ meets $[AB]$ at $E$. Let $X$ be the intersection of the lines $BD$ and $CE$ where $|BX|=\sqrt 3|XD|$ ve $|XE|=(\sqrt 3 - 1)|XC|$. Find the angles of triangle $ABC$.
A positive integer $n$ and real numbers $a_1,\dots, a_n$ are given. Show that there exists integers $m$ and $k$ such that \[|\sum\limits_{i=1}^m a_i -\sum\limits_{i=m+1}^n a_i | \leq |a_k|.\]

If a function $f$ defined on all real numbers has at least two centers of symmetry, show that this function can be written as sum of a linear function and a periodic function. [For every real number $x$, if there is a real number $a$ such that $f(a-x) + f(a+x) =2f(a)$, the point $(a,f(a))$ is called a center of symmetry of the function $f$.]
Two circles are internally tangent at a point $A$. Let $C$ be a point on the smaller circle other than $A$. The tangent line to the smaller circle at $C$ meets the bigger circle at $D$ and $E$; and the line $AC$ meets the bigger circle at $A$ and $P$. Show that the line $PE$ is tangent to the circle through $A$, $C$, and $E$.
Consider $2n+1$ points in space, no four of which are coplanar where $n>1$. Each line segment connecting any two of these points is either colored red, white or blue. A subset $M$ of these points is called a connected monochromatic subset, if for each $a,b \in M$, there are points $a=x_0,x_1, \dots, x_l = b$ that belong to $M$ such that the line segments $x_0x_1, x_1x_2, \dots, x_{l-1}x_1$ are all have the same color. No matter how the points are colored, if there always exists a connected monochromatic $k-$subset, find the largest value of $k$. ($l > 1$)
