Problem 2

  • Day 1

Let  R \,{\mathbb{R}}\, denote the set of all real numbers. Find all functions f:R→R f: {\mathbb{R}}\rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}\, such that f(x2+f(y))=y+(f(x))2for allx,y∈R.f\left( x^{2}+f(y)\right) =y+\left( f(x)\right) ^{2}\hspace{0.2in}\text{for all} x,y\in \mathbb{R}.

Problem 3

  • Day 1

Consider 99 points in space, no four of which are coplanar. Each pair of points is joined by an edge (that is, a line segment) and each edge is either colored blue or red or left uncolored. Find the smallest value of n n\, such that whenever exactly n n\, edges are colored, the set of colored edges necessarily contains a triangle all of whose edges have the same color.
