Problem 1

Sequence {an}\{a_n\} it define a1=1a_1=1 and an+1=ann+nana_{n+1}=\frac{a_n}{n}+\frac{n}{a_n} for all n≥1n\ge 1 Prove that ⌊an2⌋=n\lfloor a_n^2\rfloor=n for all n≥4.n\ge 4.

Problem 2

The quadrilateral ABCDABCD is inscribed in a circle. The lines ABAB and CDCD meet each other in the point EE , while the diagonals ACAC and BDBD in the point FF . The circumcircles of the triangles AFDAFD and BFCBFC have a second common point, which is denoted by HH . Prove that ∠EHF=90∘\angle EHF=90^\circ .

Problem 3

A square table of size 7×77\times 7 with the four corner squares deleted is given. [list=a] [] What is the smallest number of squares which need to be colored black so that a 5−5- square entirely uncolored Greek cross (Figure 1) cannot be found on the table? [] Prove that it is possible to write integers in each square in a way that the sum of the integers in each Greek cross is negative while the sum of all integers in the square table is positive.
