Problem 1

Georg chooses three distinct digits among 1,2,...,91, 2, . . . , 9 and writes them down on three cards. When the cards are laid down next to each other, a three-digit number is formed. Georg tells his mother that the sum of the largest and the second-largest number that can be formed in this manner is 17321732 . Can she figure out which three digits Georg has chosen?

Problem 2

Three gamblers play against each other for money. They each start by placing a pile of one-krone coins on the table, and from this point on the total number of coins on the table does not change. The ratio between the number of coins they start with is 6:5:46 : 5 : 4 . At the end of the game, the ratio of the number of coins they have is 7:6:57 : 6 : 5 in some order. At the end of the game, one of the gamblers has three coins more than at the beginning. How many coins does this gambler have at the end?

Problem 3

The points CC and DD lie on a halfline from the midpoint MM of a segment ABAB , so that ∣AC∣=∣BD∣|AC| = |BD| . Prove that the angles u=∠ACMu = \angle ACM and v=∠BDMv = \angle BDM are equal. Image

Problem 4

Determine all positive integers nn so that both 20n20n and 5n+2755n + 275 are perfect squares.

(A perfect square is a number which can be expressed as k2k^2 , where kk is an integer.)

Problem 5

Let x0,x1,...,x2014x_0, x_1, . . . , x_{2014} be a sequence of real numbers, which for all i<ji < j satisfy xi+xj≤2jx_i + x_j \le 2j . Determine the largest possible value of the sum x0+x1+⋅⋅⋅+x2014x_0 + x_1 + · · · + x_{2014} .
