Problem 1

Determine all pairs of (a,b)(a,b) of non negative integers such that: a+b2−ab = 1\dfrac{a+b}{2} - \sqrt{ab}~=~1

Problem 2

Amy and Bee play the following game. Initially, there are three piles, each containing 2020 stones. The players take turns to make a move, with Amy going first. Each move consists of choosing one of the piles available, removing the unchosen pile(s) from the game, and then dividing the chosen pile into 2 or 3 non-empty piles. A player looses the game if they are unable to make a move.

Prove that Bee can always win the game,no matter how Amy plays

Problem 3

Let ABCABC be a triangle with right angle at ∠C\angle C . Suppose that the tangent line at C to the circle passing through A,B,CA,B,C intersects the line ABAB at DD . Let EE be the midpoint of CDCD and let FF be the point on the line EBEB such that AFAF is parallel to CDCD . Prove that the lines ABAB and CFCF are perpendicular.

Problem 5

Each term of an infinite sequene a1,a2,⋯a_1,a_2, \cdots is equal to 0 or 1. For each positive integer nn , [list] [] an+an+1≠an+2+an+3a_n+a_{n+1} \neq a_{n+2} +a_{n+3} and [] an+an+1+an+2≠an+3+an+4+an+5a_n + a_{n+1}+a_{n+2} \neq a_{n+3} +a_{n+4} + a_{n+5} Prove that if a1 = 0a_1~=~0 , then a2020 = 1a_{2020}~=~1

Problem 6

Let ABCDABCD be a square. For a point PP inside it, a windmill centred at PP consists of 2 perpendicular lines l1l_1 and l2l_2 passing through PP , such that ∙ \bullet ~ l1l_1 intersects the sides AB and CD at W and Y, respectively, and ∙ \bullet ~ l2l_2 intersects the side BC and DA at X and Z, respectively.

A windmill is called round if the quadrilateral WXYZ is cyclic. Determine all points P inside the square such that every windmill centred at P is round.

Problem 7

A tetramino tile is a tile that can be formed by gluing together four unit square tiles, edge to edge. For each natural number n, consider a bathroom whose floor is in the shape of a 2∗2n2*2n rectangle. Let TnT_n be the number of ways to tile this bathroom floor with tetramino tiles. Prove that, each of the numbers T1,T2,T3,⋯T_1 , T_2 , T_3 , \cdots is a perfect square.
