Problem 1

Determine all polynomials P(x)∈R[x]P(x) \in \mathbb R[x] satisfying the following two conditions : (a) P(2017)=2016P(2017) = 2016 and (b) (P(x)+1)2=P(x2+1)(P(x) + 1)^2 = P(x^2 + 1) for all real numbers xx .

Problem 2

Let ABCDEABCDE be a regular pentagon with center MM . A point PP (different from MM ) is chosen on the line segment MDMD . The circumcircle of ABPABP intersects the line segment AEAE in AA and QQ and the line through PP perpendicular to CDCD in PP and RR . Prove that ARAR and QRQR have same length.

Problem 3

Anna and Berta play a game in which they take turns in removing marbles from a table. Anna takes the first turn. At the beginning of a turn there are n ≥ 1 marbles on the table, then the player whose turn is removes k marbles, where k ≥ 1 either is an even number with k≤n2k \le \frac{n}{2} or an odd number with n2≤k≤n\frac{n}{2}\le k \le n . A player wins the game if she removes the last marble from the table. Determine the smallest number N≥100000N\ge100000 which Berta has wining strategy.
