Other problems

Problem 1

ABCDABCD is a quadrilateral with a circumcircle centre OO and an inscribed circle centre II . The diagonals intersect at SS . Show that if two of O,I,SO,I,S coincide, then it must be a square.

Problem 2

Find all real-valued functions on the positive integers such that f(x+1019)=f(x)f(x + 1019) = f(x) for all xx , and f(xy)=f(x)f(y)f(xy) = f(x) f(y) for all x,yx,y .

Problem 3

For any positive integer n>1n>1 , let P(n)P\left(n\right) denote the largest prime divisor of nn . Prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers nn for which P(n)<P(n+1)<P(n+2).P\left(n\right)<P\left(n+1\right)<P\left(n+2\right).

Problem 4

A regular tetrahedron has side LL . What is the smallest xx such that the tetrahedron can be passed through a loop of twine of length xx ?

Problem 5

Show that no one nn -th root of a rational (for nn a positive integer) can be a root of the polynomial x5−x4−4x3+4x2+2x^5 - x^4 - 4x^3 + 4x^2 + 2 .

Problem 6

XX has nn elements. FF is a family of subsets of XX each with three elements, such that any two of the subsets have at most one element in common. Show that there is a subset of XX with at least 2n\sqrt{2n} members which does not contain any members of FF .
