Let be a positive integer. There are ants walking along a line at constant nonzero speeds. Different ants need not walk at the same speed or walk in the same direction. Whenever two or more ants collide, all the ants involved in this collision instantly change directions. (Different ants need not be moving in opposite directions when they collide, since a faster ant may catch up with a slower one that is moving in the same direction.) The ants keep walking indefinitely. Assuming that the total number of collisions is finite, determine the largest possible number of collisions in terms of .
Let be a scalene acute triangle. Let be the point on ray such that . Let be the point on ray such that . Let and be the points on line such that and . Prove that are concyclic.
A subset of the natural numbers is called good if every integer has at most one prime divisor such that . (a) Show that the set of perfect squares is good. (b) Find an infinite good set disjoint from . (Two sets are disjoint if they have no common elements.)
