Other problems

Problem 1

A stone is placed in a square of a chessboard with nn rows and nn columns. We can alternately undertake two operations: (a) move the stone to a square that shares a common side with the square in which it stands;(b) move it to a square sharing only one common vertex with the square in which it stands.

In addition, we are required that the first step must be (b). Find all integers nn such that the stone can go through a certain path visiting every square exactly once.

Problem 2

In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD , let LL and MM be the incenters of ABCABC and BCDBCD respectively. Let RR be a point on the plane such that LR⊥ACLR\bot AC and MR⊥BDMR\bot BD .Prove that triangle LMRLMR is isosceles.

Problem 3

Consider a function f:N→Nf:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb N such that for any two positive integers x,yx,y , the equation f(xf(y))=yf(x)f(xf(y))=yf(x) holds. Find the smallest possible value of f(2007)f(2007) .

Problem 4

The set M={1,2,…,2007}M=\{1,2,\ldots,2007\} has the following property: If nn is an element of MM , then all terms in the arithmetic progression with its first term nn and common difference n+1n+1 , are in MM . Does there exist an integer mm such that all integers greater than mm are elements of MM ?

Problem 5

In an acute-angled triangle ABCABC ( AC≠BCAC\ne BC ), let DD and EE be points on BCBC and ACAC , respectively, such that the points A,B,D,EA,B,D,E are concyclic and ADAD intersects BEBE at PP . Knowing that CP⊥ABCP\bot AB , prove that PP is the orthocenter of triangle ABCABC .

Problem 6

Find all pariwise distinct real numbers x,y,zx,y,z such that {x−yy−z,y−zz−x,z−xx−y}={x,y,z}\left\{\frac{x-y}{y-z},\frac{y-z}{z-x},\frac{z-x}{x-y} \right\} = \{x,y,z\} . (It means, those three fractions make a permutation of x,yx, y , and zz .)
