  • Answer

Let a1,a2,…,a2023a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{2023} be positive integers such that - a1,a2,…,a2023a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{2023} is a permutation of 1,2,…,20231,2, \ldots, 2023, and - ∣a1−a2∣,∣a2−a3∣,…,∣a2022−a2023∣\left|a_{1}-a_{2}\right|,\left|a_{2}-a_{3}\right|, \ldots,\left|a_{2022}-a_{2023}\right| is a permutation of 1,2,…,20221,2, \ldots, 2022. Prove that max⁡(a1,a2023)⩾507\max \left(a_{1}, a_{2023}\right) \geqslant 507.
