Problem 1

  • Paper

Let Γ\Gamma be the circumcircle of △ABC\triangle A B C. Let DD be a point on the side BCB C. The tangent to Γ\Gamma at AA intersects the parallel line to BAB A through DD at point EE. The segment CEC E intersects Γ\Gamma again at FF. Suppose B,D,F,EB, D, F, E are concyclic. Prove that AC,BF,DEA C, B F, D E are concurrent.

Problem 2

  • Paper

Show that r=2r=2 is the largest real number rr which satisfies the following condition:

If a sequence a1,a2,…a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots of positive integers fulfills the inequalities

an≤an+2≤an2+ran+1a_{n} \leq a_{n+2} \leq \sqrt{a_{n}^{2}+r a_{n+1}}

for every positive integer nn, then there exists a positive integer MM such that an+2=ana_{n+2}=a_{n} for every n≥Mn \geq M.

Let Z\mathbb{Z} denote the set of all integers. Find all polynomials P(x)P(x) with integer coefficients that satisfy the following property: For any infinite sequence a1,a2,…a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots of integers in which each integer in Z\mathbb{Z} appears exactly once, there exist indices i<ji<j and an integer kk such that ai+ai+1+⋯+aj=P(k)a_{i}+a_{i+1}+\cdots+a_{j}=P(k).

Problem 5

  • Paper

Let n≥3n \geq 3 be a fixed integer. The number 1 is written nn times on a blackboard. Below the blackboard, there are two buckets that are initially empty. A move consists of erasing two of the numbers aa and bb, replacing them with the numbers 1 and a+ba+b, then adding one stone to the first bucket and gcd⁡(a,b)\operatorname{gcd}(a, b) stones to the second bucket. After some finite number of moves, there are ss stones in the first bucket and tt stones in the second bucket, where ss and tt are positive integers. Find all possible values of the ratio ts\frac{t}{s}.
