For 2n numbers in a row, Bob could perform the following operation:
Si=(a1,a2,…,a2n)↦Si+1=(a1,a3,…,a2n−1,a2,a4,…,a2n).
Let T be the order of this operation. In other words, T is the smallest positive integer such that Si=Si+T. Prove that T<2n. even partitions = odd partitions, sum of even numbers is n
Given a natural number n, if the tuple (x1,x2,…,xk) satisfies
2∣x1,x2,…,xk
x1+x2+…+xk=n
then we say that it's an even partition. We define odd partition in a similar way. Determine all n such that the number of even partitions is equal to the number of odd partitions. polynomial |f(k)-t^k)<1, bound degree
Given a real number t≥3, suppose a polynomial f∈R[x] satisfies
f(k)−tk<1,∀k=0,1,…,n.Prove that degf≥n. IMOC 2019 G5 (DH bisects <EDF, circumcircle, orthocenter related)
Given a scalene triangle △ABC with orthocenter H and circumcenter O. The exterior angle bisector of ∠BAC intersects circumcircle of △ABC at N=A. Let D be another intersection of HN and the circumcircle of △ABC. The line passing through O, which is parallel to AN, intersects AB,AC at E,F, respectively. Prove that DH bisects the angle ∠EDF.

△ABC is a scalene triangle with circumcircle Ω. For a arbitrary X in the plane, define Dx,Ex,Fx to be the intersection of tangent line of X (with respect to BXC) and BC,CA,AB, respectively. Let the intersection of AX with Ω be Sx and Tx=DxSx∩Ω. Show that Ω and circumcircle of △TxExFx are tangent to each other.

Given a scalene triangle △ABC has orthocenter H and circumcircle Ω. The tangent lines passing through A,B,C are ℓa,ℓb,ℓc. Suppose that the intersection of ℓb and ℓc is D. The foots of H on ℓa,AD are P,Q respectively. Prove that PQ bisects segment BC.

Let I be the incenter of a scalene triangle △ABC. In other words, AB,BC,CA are distinct. Prove that if D,E are two points on rays BA,CA, satisfying BD=CA,CE=BA then line DE pass through the orthocenter of △BIC.
