Problem 1

A number with 20162016 zeros that is written as 101010…0101101010 \dots 0101 is given, in which the zeros and ones alternate. Prove that this number is not prime.

Problem 2

A triangle ABCABC with area 11 is given. Anja and Bernd are playing the following game: Anja chooses a point XX on side BCBC . Then Bernd chooses a point YY on side CACA und at last Anja chooses a point ZZ on side ABAB . Also, X,YX,Y and ZZ cannot be a vertex of triangle ABCABC . Anja wants to maximize the area of triangle XYZXYZ and Bernd wants to minimize that area. What is the area of triangle XYZXYZ at the end of the game, if both play optimally?

Problem 3

Let A,B,CA,B,C and DD be points on a circle in this order. The chords ACAC and BDBD intersect in point PP . The perpendicular to ACAC through C and the perpendicular to BDBD through DD intersect in point QQ . Prove that the lines ABAB and PQPQ are perpendicular.
