Day 1
(a) Find the locus of points that are centers of rectangles whose vertices lie on the sides of
ABC;
(b) Determine if exist some points that are centers of 3 distinct rectangles whose vertices lie on
the sides of ABC.
2 In a competition, there were 2n + 1 teams. Every team plays exatly once against every other
team. Every match finishes with the victory of one of the teams. We call cyclical a 3-subset of
team A, B, C if A won against B, B won against C , C won against A.
Day 2
1 We have a complete graph with n vertices. We have to color the vertices and the edges in a way
such that: no two edges pointing to the same vertice are of the same color; a vertice and an
edge pointing him are coloured in a different way. What is the minimum number of colors we
need?
(a) Find the locus of all the points P such that, calling Oa , Ob , Oc the circumcenters of P BC,
P AC, P AB:
Oa Ob Ob Oc Oc Oa
= =
AB BC CA
(b) For all points P of the locus in (a), show that the lines AOa , BOb , COc are cuncurrent (in X);
(c) Show that the power of X wrt the circumcircle of ABC is:
a2 + b2 + c2 − 5R2

Where a = BC , b = AC and c = AB.
3 Let p ≥ 5 be a prime.
(a) Show that exists a prime q ̸= p such that q|(p − 1)p + 1
(b) Factoring in prime numbers (p − 1)p + 1 = ni=1 pai i show that:
