Problem 1

Let T(a)T(a) be the sum of digits of aa. For which positive integers RR does there exist a positive integer nn such that T(n2)T(n)=R\frac{T\left(n^{2}\right)}{T(n)}=R ?

Problem 2

Let Q1\mathcal{Q}_{1} be a quadrilateral such that the midpoints of its sides lie on a circle. Prove that there exists a cyclic quadrilateral Q2\mathcal{Q}_{2} with the same sidelengths as Q1\mathcal{Q}_{1}, such that two of the angles in Q2\mathcal{Q}_{2} are equal.

Problem 3

Find all functions f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that

f(f(x)f(y)+y)=f(x)y+f(y−x+1)f(f(x) f(y)+y)=f(x) y+f(y-x+1)

for all x,y∈Rx, y \in \mathbb{R}.

Problem 4

Alice and Bob are playing a game. First, Alice chooses a partition C\mathcal{C} of the positive integers into a (not necessarily finite) set of sets, such that each positive integer is in exactly one of the sets in C\mathcal{C}. Then Bob does the following operation a finite number of times. Choose a set S∈CS \in \mathcal{C} not previously chosen, and let DD be the set of all positive integers dividing at least one element in SS. Then add the set D\SD \backslash S (possibly the empty set) to C\mathcal{C}. Bob wins if there are two equal sets in C\mathcal{C} after he has done all his moves, otherwise, Alice wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy.
