Problem 1
Let N 0 = { 0 , 1 , 2 ⋯ } N_0=\{0, 1, 2 \cdots \} N 0 = { 0 , 1 , 2 ⋯ } . Find all functions: N 0 → N 0 N_0 \to N_0 N 0 → N 0 such that:
(1) f ( n ) < f ( n + 1 ) f(n) < f(n+1) f ( n ) < f ( n + 1 ) , all n ∈ N 0 n \in N_0 n ∈ N 0 ;
(2) f ( 2 ) = 2 f(2)=2 f ( 2 ) = 2 ;
(3) f ( m n ) = f ( m ) f ( n ) f(mn)=f(m)f(n) f ( mn ) = f ( m ) f ( n ) , all m , n ∈ N 0 m, n \in N_0 m , n ∈ N 0 .
Problem 2
The circumference of a circle is arbitrarily divided into four arcs. The midpoints of the arcs are connected by segments. Show that two of these segments are perpendicular.
Problem 3
Does there exists a base in which the numbers of the form:
10101 , 101010101 , 1010101010101 , ⋯ 10101, 101010101, 1010101010101,\cdots 10101 , 101010101 , 1010101010101 , ⋯
are all prime numbers?

Problem 5
Find all positive integers n n n such that 21 21 21 divides 2 2 n + 2 n + 1 2^{2^n}+2^n+1 2 2 n + 2 n + 1 .
Problem 6
Find all functions f : R → R f: R\to R f : R → R such that:
f ( x 2 ) − f ( y 2 ) = ( x + y ) ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) , x , y ∈ R f(x^2)-f(y^2)=(x+y)(f(x)-f(y)), x,y \in R f ( x 2 ) − f ( y 2 ) = ( x + y ) ( f ( x ) − f ( y )) , x , y ∈ R
