Problem 1

Does there exist any integer a,b,ca,b,c such that a2bc+2,ab2c+2,abc2+2a^2bc+2,ab^2c+2,abc^2+2 are perfect squares?

Problem 2

Let the integer n≥2n \ge 2 , and the real numbers x1,x2,⋯ ,xn∈[0,1]x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n\in \left[0,1\right] .Prove that∑1≤k<j≤nkxkxj≤n−13∑k=1nkxk.\sum_{1\le k<j\le n} kx_kx_j\le \frac{n-1}{3}\sum_{k=1}^n kx_k.

Problem 3

Let ABCABC be a triangle, and B1,C1B_1,C_1 be its excenters opposite B,CB,C . B2,C2B_2,C_2 are reflections of B1,C1B_1,C_1 across midpoints of AC,ABAC,AB . Let DD be the extouch at BCBC . Show that ADAD is perpendicular to B2C2B_2C_2

Problem 4

There are nn coins in a row, n≥2n\geq 2 . If one of the coins is head, select an odd number of consecutive coins (or even 1 coin) with the one in head on the leftmost, and then flip all the selected coins upside down simultaneously. This is a movemove . No move is allowed if all nn coins are tails. Suppose m−1m-1 coins are heads at the initial stage, determine if there is a way to carry out ⌊2m3⌋\lfloor\frac {2^m}{3}\rfloor moves

Problem 5

A nonempty set AA is called an nn -level-goodset if A⊆{1,2,3,…,n}A \subseteq \{1,2,3,\ldots,n\} and ∣A∣≤min⁡x∈Ax|A| \le \min_{x\in A} x (where ∣A∣|A| denotes the number of elements in AA and min⁡x∈Ax\min_{x\in A} x denotes the minimum of the elements in AA ). Let ana_n be the number of nn -level-good sets. Prove that for all positive integers nn we have an+2=an+1+an+1a_{n+2}=a_{n+1}+a_{n}+1 .

Problem 6

Let PA,PBPA, PB be tangents to a circle centered at OO , and CC a point on the minor arc ABAB . The perpendicular from CC to PCPC intersects internal angle bisectors of AOC,BOCAOC,BOC at D,ED,E . Show that CD=CECD=CE

Problem 7

Label sides of a regular nn -gon in clockwise direction in order 1,2,..,n. Determine all integers n ( n≥4n\geq 4 ) satisfying the following conditions: (1) n−3n-3 non-intersecting diagonals in the nn -gon are selected, which subdivide the nn -gon into n−2n-2 non-overlapping triangles; (2) each of the chosen n−3n-3 diagonals are labeled with an integer, such that the sum of labeled numbers on three sides of each triangles in (1) is equal to the others;

Problem 8

Find all positive integers aa such that for any positive integer n≥5n\ge 5 we have 2n−n2∣an−na2^n-n^2\mid a^n-n^a .
