Problem 1

Take 10 points inside the circle with diameter 5. Prove that for any these 10 points there exist two points whose distance is less than 2.

Problem 2

Prove that

(b+c−a)2(b+c)2+a2+(c+a−b)2(c+a)2+b2+(a+b−c)2(a+b)2+c2≥35\frac{\left(b+c-a\right)^{2}}{\left(b+c\right)^{2}+a^{2}}+\frac{\left(c+a-b\right)^{2}}{\left(c+a\right)^{2}+b^{2}}+\frac{\left(a+b-c\right)^{2}}{\left(a+b\right)^{2}+c^{2}}\geq\frac35

for any positive real numbers aa, bb, cc.

Problem 3

Call the Graph the set which composed of several vertices P1, ⋯P2P_1,\ \cdots P_2 and several edges (( s egment s )) connecting two points among these vertices. Now let GG be a graph with 9 vertices and satisfies the following condition.

Condition: Even if we select any five points from the vertices in G,G, there exist at least two edges whose endpoints are included in the set of 5 points.

What is the minimum possible numbers of edges satisfying the condition?

Problem 4

Let A,B,C,DA,B,C,D be points in space which are not on a same plane and no any 3 points are not colinear. Suppose that the sum of the segments AX+BX+CX+DXAX+BX+CX+DX is minimized at X=X0X=X_0 which is different from A,B,C,D.A,B,C,D. Prove that ∠AX0B=∠CX0D.\angle{AX_0B}=\angle{CX_0D}.

Problem 5

The letters AA or BB are assigned on the points divided equally into 2n (n=1, 2,⋯ )2^{n}\ (n=1,\ 2,\cdots) parts of a circumference.If you choose nn letters from any succesively arranging points directed clockwise, prove that there exists the way of assignning for which the line of letters are mutually distinct.
