Problem 1

  • Day 1

Find all function f:R→Rf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} such that for all x,y∈Rx,y\in\mathbb{R} the following equality holds f(⌊x⌋y)=f(x)⌊f(y)⌋f(\left\lfloor x\right\rfloor y)=f(x)\left\lfloor f(y)\right\rfloor where ⌊a⌋\left\lfloor a\right\rfloor is greatest integer not greater than a.a.

Problem 2

  • Day 1

Given a triangle ABCABC , with II as its incenter and Γ\Gamma as its circumcircle, AIAI intersects Γ\Gamma again at DD . Let EE be a point on the arc BDCBDC , and FF a point on the segment BCBC , such that ∠BAF=∠CAE<12∠BAC\angle BAF=\angle CAE < \dfrac12\angle BAC . If GG is the midpoint of IFIF , prove that the meeting point of the lines EIEI and DGDG lies on Γ\Gamma .

Problem 5

  • Day 2

Each of the six boxes B1B_1 , B2B_2 , B3B_3 , B4B_4 , B5B_5 , B6B_6 initially contains one coin. The following operations are allowed

Type 1) Choose a non-empty box BjB_j , 1≤j≤51\leq j \leq 5 , remove one coin from BjB_j and add two coins to Bj+1B_{j+1} ;

Type 2) Choose a non-empty box BkB_k , 1≤k≤41\leq k \leq 4 , remove one coin from BkB_k and swap the contents (maybe empty) of the boxes Bk+1B_{k+1} and Bk+2B_{k+2} .

Determine if there exists a finite sequence of operations of the allowed types, such that the five boxes B1B_1 , B2B_2 , B3B_3 , B4B_4 , B5B_5 become empty, while box B6B_6 contains exactly 2010201020102010^{2010^{2010}} coins.

Problem 6

  • Day 2

Let a1,a2,a3,…a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots be a sequence of positive real numbers, and ss be a positive integer, such that an=max⁡{ak+an−k∣1≤k≤n−1}  for all  n>s.a_n = \max \{ a_k + a_{n-k} \mid 1 \leq k \leq n-1 \} \ \textrm{ for all } \ n > s. Prove there exist positive integers ℓ≤s\ell \leq s and NN , such that an=aℓ+an−ℓ  for all  n≥N.a_n = a_{\ell} + a_{n - \ell} \ \textrm{ for all } \ n \geq N.
