Malkin M.i. On the board, 101 numbers are written: $1^{2}, 2^{2}, \ldots, 101^{2}$. In one operation, it is allowed to erase any two numbers and write down the absolute value of their difference instead. What is the smallest number that can result from 100 operations?
From four consecutive squares (in three operations), the number 4 can be obtained: $(n+3)^{2}-(n+2)^{2}-((n+$ $\left.1)^{2}-n^{2}\right)=(2 n+5)-(2 n+1)=4$. We can get 24 such fours from the numbers $6^{2}, 7^{2}, \ldots, 101^{2}$. 20 fours can be turned into zeros by pairwise subtraction. From the numbers $4,9,16,25$...

8,9 | | In parallelogram $A B C D$, the diagonals $A C=15, B D=9$ are known. The radius of the circle circumscribed around triangle $A D C$ is 10. Find the radius of the circle circumscribed around triangle $A B D$.
Apply the formula $a=2 R \sin \boldsymbol{\alpha}$. ## Solution Let $R=10$ be the radius of the circumcircle of triangle $A D C$. Then $$ \sin \angle A D C=\frac{A C}{2 R}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4} $$ Since $\angle B A D=180^{\circ}-\angle A D C$, then $$ \sin \angle B A D=\sin \angle A D C=\frac{3}{4} $$ If $R_{...

Given a triangle with sides $A B=2, B C=3, A C=4$. A circle is inscribed in it, and the point $M$ where the circle touches side $B C$ is connected to point $A$. Circles are inscribed in triangles $A M B$ and $A M C$. Find the distance between the points where these circles touch the line $A M$.
Since $K$ is the point of tangency of the incircle inscribed in triangle $AMB$ with side $AM$, $AK = (AB + AM - BM) / 2$. Similarly, expressing $AL$ and subtracting the obtained expressions from each other, we get $KL = (AB - AC - BM + MC) / 2$. | 3 Topics: | $\left[\begin{array}{lc}\text { [ Cube } & \text { [ } \\...

Zaslavsky A.A. Given a circle with center $O$ and a point $P$ not lying on it. Let $X$ be an arbitrary point on the circle, $Y$ the intersection point of the bisector of angle $P O X$ and the perpendicular bisector of segment $P X$. Find the geometric locus of points $Y$.
Let $K, L$ be the projections of point $Y$ onto $O P$ and $O X$. From the definition of point $Y$, it follows that $Y P = Y X$ and $Y K = Y L$. Therefore, triangles $Y K P$ and $Y L X$ are equal, which means $X L = P K$. Moreover, $O L = O K$. Since the lengths of segments $O P$ and $O X$ are not equal, one of them is...
