Problem 4

  • Day 2

Write an integer on each of the 16 small triangles in such a way that every number having at least two neighbors is equal to the difference of two of its neighbors.

Note: Two triangles are said to be neighbors if they have a common side.

Problem 5

  • Day 2

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle. C1C_{1} and C2C_{2} are two circles of diameters ABAB and ACAC , respectively. C2C_{2} and ABAB intersect again at FF , and C1C_{1} and ACAC intersect again at EE . Also, BEBE meets C2C_{2} at PP and CFCF meets C1C_{1} at QQ . Prove that AP=AQAP=AQ .

Problem 6

  • Day 2

Let's say we have a nice representation of the positive integer nn if we write it as a sum of powers of 2 in such a way that there are at most two equal powers in the sum (representations differing only in the order of their summands are considered to be the same).

a) Write down the 5 nice representations of 10.

b) Find all positive integers with an even number of nice representations.
