Problem 1

Find all natural numbers n with the following property: there exists a permutation (i1,i2,…,in)(i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_n) of the numbers 1,2,…,n1,2,\ldots,n such that, if on the circular table there are nn people seated and for all k=1,2,…,nk=1,2,\ldots,n the kk -th person is moving ini_n places in the right, all people will sit on different places.

Problem 2

Let f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) be non-constant polynomials with integer positive coefficients, mm and nn are given natural numbers. Prove that there exists infinitely many natural numbers kk for which the numbers f(mn)+g(0),f(mn)+g(1),…,f(mn)+g(k)f(m^n)+g(0),f(m^n)+g(1),\ldots,f(m^n)+g(k) are composite.

Problem 6

In triangle pyramid MABCMABC at least two of the plane angles next to the edge MM are not equal to each other. Prove that if the bisectors of these angles form the same angle with the angle bisector of the third plane angle, the following inequality is true 8a1b1c1≤a2a1+b2b1+c2c18a_1b_1c_1\le a^2a_1+b^2b_1+c^2c_1 where a,b,ca,b,c are sides of triangle ABCABC and a1,b1,c1a_1,b_1,c_1 are edges crossed respectively with a,b,ca,b,c .
