1. Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Let $D, E, F$ be points respectively on the segments $BC, CA, AB$ such that $AD, BE, CF$ concur at the point $K$. Suppose $\frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{BF}{FA}$ and $∠ADB = ∠AFC$. Prove that $∠ ABE = ∠ CAD$.
2. Let $(a_1a_2a_3.....a_{2011})$ be a permutation (that is arrangement) of the numbers $1, 2, 3 . . . , 2011$. Show that there exist two numbers $j, k$. such that $1 \le j < k \le 2011$ and $|a_{j}-j|=|a_{k}-k|$.
3. A natural number $n$ is chosen strictly between two consecutive perfect square. The smaller of these two squares is obtained by subtracting $k$ from $n$ and the larger one is obtained by adding $l$ to $n$. Prove that $n-kl$ is a perfect square.
4. Consider a $20$-sided convex polygon K, with vertice $A_1,A_2,....,A_{20}$ in that order. Find the number of ways in which three sides of  $K$ can be chosen so that every pair among them has at least two sides of  $K$ between them. (For example $A_1A_2, A_4A_5, A_{11}A_{12}$ is an admissible triple while $A_1A_2, A_4A_5, A_{19}A_{20}$ is not).
5. Let ABC be a triangle and let $BB_1,CC_1$ be respectively the bisectors of ∠ B, ∠ C with $B_1$ on AC and $C_1$ on AB. Let E, F be the feet of perpendiculars drawn from A onto $BB_1,CC_1$ respectively. Suppose $D$ is the point at which the in circle of  $ABC$ touches $AB$. Prove that  $AD = EF$.
6. Find all pairs $(x, y)$ of real numbers such that $16^{x^2+y}+16^{x+y^2}=1$.
