Other problems

Problem 1

What integers a,b,ca, b, c satisfy a2+b2+c2+3<ab+3b+2ca^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 3 < ab + 3b + 2c ?

Problem 2

DD is a closed disk radius RR . Show that among any 88 points of DD one can always find two whose distance apart is less than RR .

Problem 3

A pyramid has square base and equal sides. It is cut into two parts by a plane parallel to the base. The lower part (which has square top and square base) is such that the circumcircle of the base is smaller than the circumcircles of the lateral faces. Show that the shortest path on the surface joining the two endpoints of a spatial diagonal lies entirely on the lateral faces. Image
