Problem 2

Let p,qp,q be prime numbers .. Prove that if p+q2p+q^2 is a perfect square ,, then p2+qnp^2+q^n is not a perfect square for any positive integer n.n.

Problem 3

Let n>2n>2 be an integer .. We want to color in red exactly n+1n+1 of the numbers 1,2,⋯ ,2n−1,2n1,2,\cdots,2n-1, 2n so that there do not exists three distinct red integers x,y,zx,y,z satisfying x+y=z.x+y=z. Prove that there is one and one only way to color the red numbers according to the given condition ..

Let λ≥1\lambda \geq 1 be a real number and nn be a positive integer with the property that ⌊λn+1⌋,⌊λn+2⌋,⋯ ,⌊λ4n⌋\lfloor \lambda^{n+1}\rfloor, \lfloor \lambda^{n+2}\rfloor ,\cdots, \lfloor \lambda^{4n}\rfloor are all perfect squares .. Prove that ⌊λ⌋\lfloor \lambda \rfloor is a perfect square ..

Problem 5

Let ABCABC be an acute angled triangle .. Let DD be the foot of the internal angle bisector of ∠BAC\angle BAC and let MM be the midpoint of AD.AD. Let XX be a point on segment BMBM such that ∠MXA=∠DAC.\angle MXA=\angle DAC. Prove that AXAX is perpendicular to XC.XC.

Problem 6

Alberto and Barbara are sitting one next to each other in front of a table onto which they arranged in a line 1515 chocolates. Some of them are milk chocolates, while the others are dark chocolates. Starting from Alberto, they play the following game: during their turn, each player eats a positive number of consecutive chocolates, starting from the leftmost of the remaining ones, so that the number of chocolates eaten that are of the same type as the first one is odd (for example, if after some turns the sequence of the remaining chocolates is MMDMD,\text{MMDMD}, where M\text{M} stands for milk\emph{milk} and D\text{D} for dark,\emph{dark}, the player could either eat the first chocolate, the first 44 chocolates or all 55 of them). The player eating the last chocolate wins.

Among all 2152^{15} possible initial sequences of chocolates, how many of them allow Barbara to have a winning strategy?
