Problem 1

When a0,a1,…,a1000a_{0}, a_{1}, \ldots, a_{1000} denote digits, can the sum of the 1001-digit numbers a0a1…a1000a_{0} a_{1} \ldots a_{1000} and a1000a999…a0a_{1000} a_{999} \ldots a_{0} have odd digits only?

Problem 2

In a triangle ABCA B C assume AB=ACA B=A C, and let DD and EE be points on the extension of segment BAB A beyond AA and on the segment BCB C, respectively, such that the lines CDC D and AEA E are parallel. Prove that CD≥4hBCCEC D \geq \frac{4 h}{B C} C E, where hh is the height from AA in triangle ABC. When does equality hold?

Problem 3

Find all functions ff such that

f(f(x)+y)=f(x2−y)+4yf(x)f(f(x)+y)=f\left(x^{2}-y\right)+4 y f(x)

for all real numbers xx and yy.

Problem 4

Show that for any integer n≥2n \geq 2 the sum of the fractions 1ab\frac{1}{a b}, where aa and bb are relatively prime positive integers such that a<b≤na<b \leq n and a+b>na+b>n, equals 12\frac{1}{2}.
