Problem 1

Let OO be an interior point in the equilateral triangle ABCA B C, of side length aa. The lines AO,BOA O, B O, and COC O intersect the sides of the triangle in the points A1,B1A_{1}, B_{1}, and C1C_{1}. Show that

∣OA1∣+∣OB1∣+∣OC1∣<a\left|O A_{1}\right|+\left|O B_{1}\right|+\left|O C_{1}\right|<a

Problem 2

We call a finite plane set SS consisting of points with integer coefficients a twoneighbour set, if for each point (p,q)(p, q) of SS exactly two of the points (p+1,q),(p,q+1)(p+1, q),(p, q+1), (p−1,q),(p,q−1)(p-1, q),(p, q-1) belong to SS. For which integers nn there exists a two-neighbour set which contains exactly nn points?

Problem 3

A piece of paper is the square ABCDA B C D. We fold it by placing the vertex DD on the point HH of the side BCB C. We assume that ADA D moves onto the segment GHG H and that HGH G intersects ABA B at EE. Prove that the perimeter of the triangle EBHE B H is one half of the perimeter of the square.

Problem 4

Determine all positive integers n<200n<200, such that n2+(n+1)2n^{2}+(n+1)^{2} is the square of an integer.
