Problem 1

An integer number m≥1m\geq 1 is mexica if it's of the form nd(n)n^{d(n)} , where nn is a positive integer and d(n)d(n) is the number of positive integers which divide nn . Find all mexica numbers less than 20192019 .

Note. The divisors of nn include 11 and nn ; for example, d(12)=6d(12)=6 , since 1,2,3,4,6,121, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 are all the positive divisors of 1212 .

Problem 2

Let HH be the orthocenter of acute-angled triangle ABCABC and MM be the midpoint of AHAH . Line BHBH cuts ACAC at DD . Consider point EE such that BCBC is the perpendicular bisector of DEDE . Segments CMCM and AEAE intersect at FF . Show that BFBF is perpendicular to CMCM .

Problem 3

Let n≥2n\geq 2 be an integer. Consider 2n2n points around a circle. Each vertex has been tagged with one integer from 11 to nn , inclusive, and each one of these integers has been used exactly two times. Isabel divides the points into nn pairs, and draws the segments joining them, with the condition that the segments do not intersect. Then, she assigns to each segment the greatest integer between its endpoints.

a) Show that, no matter how the points have been tagged, Isabel can always choose the pairs in such a way that she uses exactly ⌈n/2⌉\lceil n/2\rceil numbers to tag the segments.

b) Can the points be tagged in such a way that, no matter how Isabel divides the points into pairs, she always uses exactly ⌈n/2⌉\lceil n/2\rceil numbers to tag the segments?

Note. For each real number xx , ⌈x⌉\lceil x\rceil denotes the least integer greater than or equal to xx . For example, ⌈3.6⌉=4\lceil 3.6\rceil=4 and ⌈2⌉=2\lceil 2\rceil=2 .

Problem 4

A list of positive integers is called good if the maximum element of the list appears exactly once. A sublist is a list formed by one or more consecutive elements of a list. For example, the list 10,34,34,22,30,2210,34,34,22,30,22 the sublist 22,30,2222,30,22 is good and 10,34,34,2210,34,34,22 is not. A list is very good if all its sublists are good. Find the minimum value of kk such that there exists a very good list of length 20192019 with kk different values on it.

Problem 5

Let a>ba > b be relatively prime positive integers. A grashopper stands at point 00 in a number line. Each minute, the grashopper jumps according to the following rules:

  • If the current minute is a multiple of aa and not a multiple of bb , it jumps aa units forward.
  • If the current minute is a multiple of bb and not a multiple of aa , it jumps bb units backward.
  • If the current minute is both a multiple of bb and a multiple of aa , it jumps a−ba - b units forward.
  • If the current minute is neither a multiple of aa nor a multiple of bb , it doesn't move.

Find all positions on the number line that the grasshopper will eventually reach.

Problem 6

Let ABCABC be a triangle such that ∠BAC=45∘\angle BAC = 45^{\circ} . Let H,OH,O be the orthocenter and circumcenter of ABCABC , respectively. Let ω\omega be the circumcircle of ABCABC and PP the point on ω\omega such that the circumcircle of PBHPBH is tangent to BCBC . Let XX and YY be the circumcenters of PHBPHB and PHCPHC respectively. Let O1,O2O_1,O_2 be the circumcenters of PXOPXO and PYOPYO respectively. Prove that O1O_1 and O2O_2 lie on ABAB and ACAC , respectively.
