Problem 1

Let (m,n)(m,n) be pair of positive integers. Julia has carefully planted mm rows of nn dandelions in an m×nm \times n array in her back garden. Now, Jana un Viviane decides to play a game with a lawnmower they just found. Taking alternating turns and starting with Jana, they can now mow down all the dandelions in a straight horizontal or vertical line (and they must mow down at least one dandelion ). The winner is the player who mows down the final dandelion. Determine all pairs of (m,n)(m,n) for which Jana has a winning strategy.

Problem 2

Let △ABC\triangle ABC be an acute triangle with AB=ACAB =AC and let DD be a point on the side BCBC . The circle with centre DD passing through CC intersects ⊙(ABD)\odot(ABD) at points PP and QQ , where QQ is the point closer to BB . The line BQBQ intersects ADAD and ACAC at points XX and YY respectively. Prove that quadrilateral PDXYPDXY is cyclic.

Problem 3

Find all finite sets SS of positive integers with at least 22 elements, such that if m>nm>n are two elements of SS , then n2m−n\frac{n^2}{m-n} is also an element of SS .

Problem 5

For which integers n≥2n \ge 2 can we arrange numbers 1,2,…,n1,2, \ldots, n in a row, such that for all integers 1≤k≤n1 \le k \le n the sum of the first kk numbers in the row is divisible by kk ?

Problem 6

Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of positive integers. Let f:N→Nf: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} be a function such that for every positive integer n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N} f(n)−n<2021andff(n)(n)=nf(n) -n<2021 \text{and} f^{f(n)}(n) =n Prove that f(n)=nf(n)=n for infinitely many n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N}

Problem 7

Let m≥nm \ge n be positive integers. Frieder is given mnmn posters of Linus with different integer dimensions of k×lk \times l with 1≥k≥m1 \ge k \ge m and 1≥l≥n1 \ge l \ge n . He must put them all up one by one on his bedroom wall without rotating them. Every time he puts up a poster, he can either put it on an empty spot on the wall or on a spot where it entirely covers a single visible poster and does not overlap any other visible poster. Determine the minimal area of the wall that will be covered by posters.

Problem 8

Let △ABC\triangle ABC be a triangle with AB=ACAB =AC and ∠BAC=20∘\angle BAC = 20^{\circ} . Let DD be point on the side ABAB such that ∠BCD=70∘\angle BCD = 70^{\circ} . Let EE be point on the side ACAC such that ∠CBE=60∘\angle CBE = 60^{\circ} . Determine the value of angle ∠CDE\angle CDE .
