Day 1

Problem 1

  • Day 1

Let N=abcd‾N=\overline{abcd} be a positive integer with four digits. We name plátano power to the smallest positive integer p(N)=α1α2…αk‾p(N)=\overline{\alpha_1\alpha_2\ldots\alpha_k} that can be inserted between the numbers ab‾\overline{ab} and cd‾\overline{cd} in such a way the new number abα1α2…αkcd‾\overline{ab\alpha_1\alpha_2\ldots\alpha_kcd} is divisible by NN . Determine the value of p(2025)p(2025) .

Problem 2

  • Day 1

We have a regular polygon PP with 2019 vertices, and in each vertex there is a coin. Two players Azul and Rojo take turns alternately, beginning with Azul, in the following way: first, Azul chooses a triangle with vertices in PP and colors its interior with blue, then Rojo selects a triangle with vertices in PP and colors its interior with red, so that the triangles formed in each move don't intersect internally the previous colored triangles. They continue playing until it's not possible to choose another triangle to be colored. Then, a player wins the coin of a vertex if he colored the greater quantity of triangles incident to that vertex (if the quantities of triangles colored with blue or red incident to the vertex are the same, then no one wins that coin and the coin is deleted). The player with the greater quantity of coins wins the game. Find a winning strategy for one of the players.

Note. Two triangles can share vertices or sides.

Problem 3

  • Day 1

Let ABCABC be a triangle and Γ\Gamma its circumcircle. Let DD be the foot of the altitude from AA to the side BCBC , MM and NN the midpoints of ABAB and ACAC , and QQ the point on Γ\Gamma diametrically opposite to AA . Let EE be the midpoint of DQDQ . Show that the lines perpendicular to EMEM and ENEN passing through MM and NN , respectively, meet on ADAD .

Problem 6

  • Day 2

A triminó is a rectangular tile of 1×31\times 3 . Is it possible to cover a 8×88\times8 chessboard using 2121 triminós, in such a way there remains exactly one 1×11\times 1 square without covering? In case the answer is in the affirmative, determine all the possible locations of such a unit square in the chessboard.
