Problem 1

Ari and Beri play a game using a deck of 20202020 cards with exactly one card with each number from 11 to 20202020 . Ari gets a card with a number aa and removes it from the deck. Beri sees the card, chooses another card from the deck with a number bb and removes it from the deck. Then Beri writes on the board exactly one of the trinomials x2−ax+bx^2-ax+b or x2−bx+ax^2-bx+a from his choice. This process continues until no cards are left on the deck. If at the end of the game every trinomial written on the board has integer solutions, Beri wins. Otherwise, Ari wins. Prove that Beri can always win, no matter how Ari plays.

Problem 2

Given 20212021 distinct positive integers non divisible by 210102^{1010} , show that it's always possible to choose 33 of them aa , bb and cc , such that ∣b2−4ac∣|b^2-4ac| is not a perfect square.

Problem 3

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle such that AC<BCAC<BC and ω\omega its circumcircle. MM is the midpoint of BCBC . Points FF and EE are chosen in ABAB and BCBC , respectively, such that AC=CFAC=CF and EB=EFEB=EF . The line AMAM intersects ω\omega in D≠AD\neq A . The line DEDE intersects the line FMFM in GG . Prove that GG lies on ω\omega .

Problem 4

Let ABCABC be an acute scalene triangle. DD and EE are variable points in the half-lines ABAB and ACAC (with origin at AA ) such that the symmetric of AA over DEDE lies on BCBC . Let PP be the intersection of the circles with diameter ADAD and AEAE . Find the locus of PP when varying the line segment DEDE .

Problem 5

There is a pile with 1515 coins on a table. At each step, Pedro choses one of the piles in the table with a>1a>1 coins and divides it in two piles with b≥1b\geq1 and c≥1c\geq1 coins and writes in the board the product abcabc . He continues until there are 1515 piles with 11 coin each. Determine all possible values that the final sum of the numbers in the board can have.

Problem 6

A 44 x 44 square board is called brasucabrasuca if it follows all the conditions:

• each box contains one of the numbers 0,1,2,3,40, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 55 ; • the sum of the numbers in each line is 55 ; • the sum of the numbers in each column is 55 ; • the sum of the numbers on each diagonal of four squares is 55 ; • the number written in the upper left box of the board is less than or equal to the other numbers the board; • when dividing the board into four 22 × 22 squares, in each of them the sum of the four numbers is 55 .

How many "brasucas""brasucas" boards are there?
