Problem 1

A student is playing computer. Computer shows randomly 2002 positive numbers. Game's rules let do the following operations

  • to take 2 numbers from these, to double first one, to add the second one and to save the sum.
  • to take another 2 numbers from the remainder numbers, to double the first one, to add the second one, to multiply this sum with previous and to save the result.
  • to repeat this procedure, until all the 2002 numbers won't be used. Student wins the game if final product is maximum possible. Find the winning strategy and prove it.

Problem 2

Positive real numbers are arranged in the form: 1   3   6   10   15...1 \ \ \ 3 \ \ \ 6 \ \ \ 10 \ \ \ 15 ... 2   5   9   14...2 \ \ \ 5 \ \ \ 9 \ \ \ 14 ... 4   8   13...4 \ \ \ 8 \ \ \ 13 ... 7   12...7 \ \ \ 12 ... 11...11 ... Find the number of the line and column where the number 2002 stays.

Problem 3

Let a,b,ca,b,c be positive real numbers such that abc=94abc=\frac{9}{4} . Prove the inequality: a3+b3+c3>ab+c+bc+a+ca+ba^3 + b^3 + c^3 > a\sqrt {b + c} + b\sqrt {c + a} + c\sqrt {a + b}

Jury's variant: Prove the same, but with abc=2abc=2

Problem 5
