Problem 1

Find all positive integers dd with the following property: there exists a polynomial PP of degree dd with integer coefficients such that ∣P(m)∣=1|P(m)|=1 for at least d+1d+1 different integers mm.

Problem 2

Let NN be a positive integer. A collection of 4N24 N^{2} unit tiles with two segments drawn on them as shown is assembled into a 2N×2N2 N \times 2 N board. Tiles can be rotated.

The segments on the tiles define paths on the board. Determine the least possible number and the largest possible number of such paths.

Problem 3

Let ABCA B C be a triangle. The circle ωA\omega_{A} through AA is tangent to line BCB C at BB. The circle ωC\omega_{C} through CC is tangent to line ABA B at BB. Let ωA\omega_{A} and ωC\omega_{C} meet again at DD. Let MM be the midpoint of line segment [ BC]B C], and let EE be the intersection of lines MDM D and ACA C. Show that EE lies on ωA\omega_{A}.

Problem 4

A divisor dd of a positive integer nn is said to be a close divisor of nn if n<d<2n\sqrt{n}<d<2 \sqrt{n}. Does there exist a positive integer with exactly 2020 close divisors?
