Problem 1

Let kk be a circle with center MM and let BB be another point in the interior of kk . Determine those points VV on kk for which ∡BVM\measuredangle BVM becomes maximal.

Problem 2

In ancient times there was a Celtic tribe consisting of several families. Many of these families were at odds with each other, so that their chiefs would not shake hands. At some point at the annual meeting of the chiefs they found it even impossible to assemble four or more of them in a circle with each of them being willing to shake his neighbour's hand. To emphasize the gravity of the situation, the Druid collected three pieces of gold from each family. The Druid then let all those chiefs shake hands who were willing to. For each handshake of two chiefs he paid each of them a piece of gold as a reward.

Show that the number of pieces of gold collected by the Druid exceeds the number of pieces paid out by at least three.

Problem 3

Show that the equation x(x+1)(x+2)…(x+2020)−1=0x(x+1)(x+2)\dots (x+2020)-1=0 has exactly one positive solution x0x_0 , and prove that this solution x0x_0 satisfies 12020!+10<x0<12020!+6.\frac{1}{2020!+10}<x_0<\frac{1}{2020!+6}.

Problem 4

Determine all positive integers nn for which there exists a positive integer dd with the property that nn is divisible by dd and n2+d2n^2+d^2 is divisible by d2n+1d^2n+1 .

Problem 5

Let a1,a2,…,a22a_1,a_2,\dots,a_{22} be positive integers with sum 5959 . Prove the inequality a1a1+1+a2a2+1+⋯+a22a22+1<16.\frac{a_1}{a_1+1}+\frac{a_2}{a_2+1}+\dots+\frac{a_{22}}{a_{22}+1}<16.

Problem 6

The insphere and the exsphere opposite to the vertex DD of a (not necessarily regular) tetrahedron ABCDABCD touch the face ABCABC in the points XX and YY , respectively. Show that ∡XAB=∡CAY\measuredangle XAB=\measuredangle CAY .
