Problem 4

  • Day 2

Using squares of side 1, a stair-like figure is formed in stages following the pattern of the drawing.

For example, the first stage uses 1 square, the second uses 5, etc. Determine the last stage for which the corresponding figure uses less than 2014 squares.

Problem 5

  • Day 2

Points AA , BB , CC and DD are chosen on a line in that order, with ABAB and CDCD greater than BCBC . Equilateral triangles APBAPB , BCQBCQ and CDRCDR are constructed so that PP , QQ and RR are on the same side with respect to ADAD . If ∠PQR=120∘\angle PQR=120^\circ , show that

1AB+1CD=1BC.\frac{1}{AB}+\frac{1}{CD}=\frac{1}{BC}.
