Problem 1

Show that there are only finitely many triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) of positive integers satisfying the equation abc=2009(a+b+c).abc=2009(a+b+c).

Problem 2

Right triangle ABC,ABC, with ∠A=90∘,\angle A=90^{\circ}, is inscribed in circle Γ.\Gamma. Point EE lies on the interior of arc BC{BC} (not containing AA ) with EA>EC.EA>EC. Point FF lies on ray ECEC with ∠EAC=∠CAF.\angle EAC = \angle CAF. Segment BFBF meets Γ\Gamma again at DD (other than BB ). Let OO denote the circumcenter of triangle DEF.DEF. Prove that A,C,OA,C,O are collinear.

Problem 3

Let nn be a given positive integer. In the coordinate set, consider the set of points {P1,P2,...,P4n+1}={(x,y)∣x,y∈Z,xy=0,∣x∣≤n,∣y∣≤n}.\{P_{1},P_{2},...,P_{4n+1}\}=\{(x,y)|x,y\in \mathbb{Z}, xy=0, |x|\le n, |y|\le n\}.

Determine the minimum of (P1P2)2+(P2P3)2+...+(P4nP4n+1)2+(P4n+1P1)2.(P_{1}P_{2})^{2} + (P_{2}P_{3})^{2} +...+ (P_{4n}P_{4n+1})^{2} + (P_{4n+1}P_{1})^{2}.

Problem 4

Let nn be an integer greater than 3.3. Points V1,V2,...,Vn,V_{1},V_{2},...,V_{n}, with no three collinear, lie on a plane. Some of the segments ViVj,V_{i}V_{j}, with 1≤i<j≤n,1 \le i < j \le n, are constructed. Points ViV_{i} and VjV_{j} are neighbors if ViVjV_{i}V_{j} is constructed. Initially, chess pieces C1,C2,...,CnC_{1},C_{2},...,C_{n} are placed at points V1,V2,...,VnV_{1},V_{2},...,V_{n} (not necessarily in that order) with exactly one piece at each point. In a move, one can choose some of the nn chess pieces, and simultaneously relocate each of the chosen piece from its current position to one of its neighboring positions such that after the move, exactly one chess piece is at each point and no two chess pieces have exchanged their positions. A set of constructed segments is called harmonic if for any initial positions of the chess pieces, each chess piece Ci(1≤i≤n)C_{i}(1 \le i \le n) is at the point ViV_{i} after a finite number of moves. Determine the minimum number of segments in a harmonic set.

Problem 5

Let x,y,zx,y,z be real numbers greater than or equal to 1.1. Prove that ∏(x2−2x+2)≤(xyz)2−2xyz+2.\prod(x^{2} - 2x + 2)\le (xyz)^{2} - 2xyz + 2.

Problem 6

Circle Γ1,\Gamma_{1}, with radius r,r, is internally tangent to circle Γ2\Gamma_{2} at S.S. Chord ABAB of Γ2\Gamma_{2} is tangent to Γ1\Gamma_{1} at C.C. Let MM be the midpoint of arc ABAB (not containing SS ), and let NN be the foot of the perpendicular from MM to line AB.AB. Prove that AC⋅CB=2r⋅MN.AC\cdot CB=2r\cdot MN.

Problem 7

On a 10×1010 \times 10 chessboard, some 4n4n unit squares are chosen to form a region R.\mathcal{R}. This region R\mathcal{R} can be tiled by nn 2×22 \times 2 squares. This region R\mathcal{R} can also be tiled by a combination of nn pieces of the following types of shapes (see below, with rotations allowed).
