Problem 1

A set of five different positive integers is called virtual if the greatest common divisor of any three of its elements is greater than 11 , but the greatest common divisor of any four of its elements is equal to 11 . Prove that, in any virtual set, the product of its elements has at least 20202020 distinct positive divisors.

Problem 2

Let ABCABC be a triangle with incenter II . The line BIBI meets ACAC at DD . Let PP be a point on CICI such that DI=DPDI=DP ( P≠IP\ne I ), EE the second intersection point of segment BCBC with the circumcircle of ABDABD and QQ the second intersection point of line EPEP with the circumcircle of AECAEC . Prove that ∠PDQ=90∘\angle PDQ=90^\circ .

Problem 3

Let n≥3n\ge 3 be an integer. Two players, Ana and Beto, play the following game. Ana tags the vertices of a regular nn - gon with the numbers from 11 to nn , in any order she wants. Every vertex must be tagged with a different number. Then, we place a turkey in each of the nn vertices. These turkeys are trained for the following. If Beto whistles, each turkey moves to the adjacent vertex with greater tag. If Beto claps, each turkey moves to the adjacent vertex with lower tag. Beto wins if, after some number of whistles and claps, he gets to move all the turkeys to the same vertex. Ana wins if she can tag the vertices so that Beto can't do this. For each n≥3n\ge 3 , determine which player has a winning strategy.

Problem 4

Let n≥3n\ge 3 be an integer. In a game there are nn boxes in a circular array. At the beginning, each box contains an object which can be rock, paper or scissors, in such a way that there are no two adjacent boxes with the same object, and each object appears in at least one box.

Same as in the game, rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock.

The game consists on moving objects from one box to another according to the following rule:

Two adjacent boxes and one object from each one are chosen in such a way that these are different, and we move the loser object to the box containing the winner object. For example, if we picked rock from box A and scissors from box B, we move scossors to box A.

Prove that, applying the rule enough times, it is possible to move all the objects to the same box.

Problem 5

A four-element set {a,b,c,d}\{a, b, c, d\} of positive integers is called good if there are two of them such that their product is a mutiple of the greatest common divisor of the remaining two. For example, the set {2,4,6,8}\{2, 4, 6, 8\} is good since the greatest common divisor of 22 and 66 is 22 , and it divides 4×8=324\times 8=32 .

Find the greatest possible value of nn , such that any four-element set with elements less than or equal to nn is good.

Problem 6

Let n≥2n\ge 2 be a positive integer. Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1, x_2, \dots, x_n be non-zero real numbers satisfying the equation (x1+1x2)(x2+1x3)…(xn+1x1)=(x12+1x22)(x22+1x32)…(xn2+1x12).\left(x_1+\frac{1}{x_2}\right)\left(x_2+\frac{1}{x_3}\right)\dots\left(x_n+\frac{1}{x_1}\right)=\left(x_1^2+\frac{1}{x_2^2}\right)\left(x_2^2+\frac{1}{x_3^2}\right)\dots\left(x_n^2+\frac{1}{x_1^2}\right). Find all possible values of x1,x2,…,xnx_1, x_2, \dots, x_n .
