Problem 1

  • Paper
  • Answer

Determine all finite nonempty sets SS of positive integers satisfying

i+j(i,j) is an element of S for all i,j in S, \frac{i+j}{(i, j)} \text { is an element of } S \text { for all } i, j \text { in } S \text {, }

where (i,j)(i, j) is the greatest common divisor of ii and jj.

Problem 2

  • Paper

Let OO be the circumcentre and HH the orthocentre of an acute triangle ABCA B C. Prove that the area of one of the triangles AOH,BOH\mathrm{AOH}, \mathrm{BOH} and COH is equal to the sum of the areas of the other two.

Problem 3

  • Paper

Let a set SS of 2004 points in the plane be given, no three of which are collinear. Let L\mathcal{L} denote the set of all lines (extended indefinitely in both directions) determined by pairs of points from the set. Show that it is possible to colour the points of SS with at most two colours, such that for any points p,qp, q of SS, the number of lines in L\mathcal{L} which separate pp from qq is odd if and only if pp and qq have the same colour. Note: A line ℓ\ell separates two points pp and qq if pp and qq lie on opposite sides of ℓ\ell with neither point on ℓ\ell.

Problem 4

  • Paper

For a real number xx, let ⌊x⌋\lfloor x\rfloor stand for the largest integer that is less than or equal to xx. Prove that

⌊(n−1)!n(n+1)⌋\left\lfloor\frac{(n-1)!}{n(n+1)}\right\rfloor

is even for every positive integer nn.
