Other problems

Problem 1

Paint the grid points of L={0,1,…,n}2L=\{0,1,\dots,n\}^2 with red or green in such a way that every unit lattice square in LL has exactly two red vertices. How many such colorings are possible?

Problem 2

Let ABCABC be a non-equilateral triangle in the plane, and let TT be a point different from its vertices. Define ATA_T , BTB_T and CTC_T as the points where lines ATAT , BTBT , and CTCT meet the circumcircle of ABCABC . Prove that there are exactly two points PP and QQ in the plane for which the triangles APBPCPA_PB_PC_P and AQBQCQA_QB_QC_Q are equilateral. Prove furthermore that line PQPQ contains the circumcenter of △ABC\triangle ABC .

Problem 3

Let k≥0k\ge 0 be an integer and suppose the integers a1,a2,…,ana_1,a_2,\dots,a_n give at least 2k2k different residues upon division by (n+k)(n+k) . Show that there are some aia_i whose sum is divisible by n+kn+k .
