Problem 1

In a culturing of bacteria, there are two species of them: red and blue bacteria.

When two red bacteria meet, they transform into one blue bacterium. When two blue bacteria meet, they transform into four red bacteria. When a red and a blue bacteria meet, they transform into three red bacteria.

Find, in function of the amount of blue bacteria and the red bacteria initially in the culturing, all possible amounts of bacteria, and for every possible amount, the possible amounts of red and blue bacteria.

Problem 2

ABCABC is a non-isosceles triangle. TAT_A is the tangency point of incircle of ABCABC in the side BCBC (define TBT_B , TCT_C analogously). IAI_A is the ex-center relative to the side BC (define IBI_B , ICI_C analogously). XAX_A is the mid-point of IBICI_BI_C (define XBX_B , XCX_C analogously).

Show that XATAX_AT_A , XBTBX_BT_B , XCTCX_CT_C meet in a common point, colinear with the incenter and circumcenter of ABCABC .

Problem 3

Find the least non-negative integer nn such that exists a non-negative integer kk such that the last 2012 decimal digits of nkn^k are all 11 's.

Problem 4

There exists some integers n,a1,a2,…,a2012n,a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{2012} such that

n2=∑1≤i≤2012aipin^2=\sum_{1 \leq i \leq 2012}{{a_i}^{p_i}}

where pip_i is the i-th prime ( p1=2,p2=3,p3=5,p4=7,…p_1=2,p_2=3,p_3=5,p_4=7,\ldots ) and ai>1a_i>1 for all ii ?

Problem 5

In how many ways we can paint a N×NN \times N chessboard using 4 colours such that squares with a common side are painted with distinct colors and every 2×22 \times 2 square (formed with 4 squares in consecutive lines and columns) is painted with the four colors?

Problem 6

Find all surjective functions f ⁣:(0,+∞)→(0,+∞)f\colon (0,+\infty) \to (0,+\infty) such that 2xf(f(x))=f(x)(x+f(f(x)))2x f(f(x)) = f(x)(x+f(f(x))) for all x>0x>0 .
