We have a pile of cards and a hat. We take out one card, put it in the hat and then divide the remaining cards into two arbitrary non empty piles. In the next step, we choose one of the two piles, we move one card from this pile to the hat and then divide this pile into two arbitrary non empty piles. This procedure is repeated several times : in the -th step we move one card from one of the piles existing after the step to the hat and then divide this pile into two non empty piles. Is it possible that after some number of steps we get all piles containing three cards each?
For any positive integer , we define the integer by : .
Find the greatest common divisor of the integers , , .
Let be positive real numbers such that . Prove that .
Let be a trapezium such that the sides and are parallel and the side is longer than the side . Let and be on the segments and respectively, such that each of the segments and divides the trapezium in two parts of equal area. Prove that the segment intersects the segment at its midpoint.
Consider an grid formed by unit squares. We define the centre of a unit square as the intersection of its diagonals. Find the smallest integer such that, choosing any unit squares in the grid, we always get four unit squares among them whose centres are vertices of a parallelogram.
