Problem 1

  • Paper

Let ABCA B C be an acute triangle with altitudes AD,BEA D, B E and CFC F, and let OO be the center of its circumcircle. Show that the segments OA,OF,OB,OD,OC,OEO A, O F, O B, O D, O C, O E dissect the triangle ABCA B C into three pairs of triangles that have equal areas.

Problem 3

  • Paper

For 2k2 k real numbers a1,a2,…,ak,b1,b2,…,bka_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k}, b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots, b_{k} define the sequence of numbers XnX_{n} by

Xn=∑i=1k[ain+bi](n=1,2,…)X_{n}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\left[a_{i} n+b_{i}\right] (n=1,2, \ldots)

If the sequence XnX_{n} forms an arithmetic progression, show that ∑i=1kai\sum_{i=1}^{k} a_{i} must be an integer. Here [r][r] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to rr.

Problem 4

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let aa and bb be positive integers, and let AA and BB be finite sets of integers satisfying: (i) AA and BB are disjoint; (ii) if an integer ii belongs either to AA or to BB, then i+ai+a belongs to AA or i−bi-b belongs to BB.

Prove that a∣A∣=b∣B∣a|A|=b|B|. (Here ∣X∣|X| denotes the number of elements in the set XX.)

Problem 5

  • Paper

Let ABCDA B C D be a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle ω\omega, and let PP be a point on the extension of ACA C such that PBP B and PDP D are tangent to ω\omega. The tangent at CC intersects PDP D at QQ and the line ADA D at RR. Let EE be the second point of intersection between AQA Q and ω\omega. Prove that B,E,RB, E, R are collinear.
