Problem 1

Two guys are playing the game "Sea Battle-2000". On the board 1×2001 \times 200 , they take turns placing the letter " SS " or " OO " on the empty squares of the board. The winner is the one who gets the word " SOSSOS " first. Prove that the second player wins when played correctly.

Problem 2

Given a circle centered at OO and two points AA and BB lying on it. AA and BB do not form a diameter. The point CC is chosen on the circle so that the line ACAC divides the segment OBOB in half. Let lines ABAB and OCOC intersect at DD , and let lines BCBC and AOAO intersect at FF . Prove that AF=CDAF = CD .

Problem 3

In a country with nn ( n≥3n \geq 3 ) airports, the government only licenses air travel to those airlines whose airline system meets the following conditions: a) Each airline must connect any two airports with one and only one one-way airline; b) For each airline there is an airport from which the passenger could fly off and fly back, using the services of only this airline. What is the maximum number of airlines with different airline systems?

Problem 4

Find all triples of natural numbers (x,y,z)(x, y, z) that satisfy the condition (x+1)y+1+1=(x+2)z+1.(x + 1) ^ {y + 1} + 1 = (x + 2) ^ {z + 1}.

Problem 5

Let the number pp be a prime divisor of the number 22k+12 ^ {2 ^ k} + 1 . Prove that p−1p-1 is divisible by 2k+12 ^ {k + 1} .

Problem 6

For positive numbers aa , bb and cc satisfying the equality a+b+c=1a + b + c = 1 , prove the inequality a7+b7a5+b5+b7+c7b5+c5+c7+a7c5+a5≥13.\frac {a ^ 7 + b ^ 7} {a ^ 5 + b ^ 5} + \frac {b ^ 7 + c ^ 7} {b ^ 5 + c ^ 5} + \frac {c ^ 7 + a ^ 7} {c ^ 5 + a ^ 5} \geq \frac {1} {3}.

Problem 8

Given a triangle ABCABC and a point MM inside it. Prove that min⁡{MA,MB,MC}+MA+MB+MC<AB+BC+AC.\min \{MA, MB, MC\} + MA + MB + MC <AB + BC + AC.
