Problem 1

Determine, with proof, the least positive integer nn for which there exist nn distinct positive integers, (1−1x1)(1−1x2)......(1−1xn)=152013\left(1-\frac{1}{x_1}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{x_2}\right)......\left(1-\frac{1}{x_n}\right)=\frac{15}{2013}

Problem 2

Let P be a point in the interior of triangle ABC . Extend AP, BP, and CP to meet BC, AC, and AB at D, E, and F, respectively. If triangle APF, triangle BPD and triangle CPE have equal areas, prove that P is the centroid of triangle ABC .

Problem 3

Let n be a positive integer. The numbers 1, 2, 3,....., 2n are randomly assigned to 2n distinct points on a circle. To each chord joining two of these points, a value is assigned equal to the absolute value of the difference between the assigned numbers at its endpoints. Show that one can choose n pairwise non-intersecting chords such that the sum of the values assigned to them is n2n^2 .

Problem 4

Let aa , pp and qq be positive integers with p≤qp \le q . Prove that if one of the numbers apa^p and aqa^q is divisible by pp , then the other number must also be divisible by pp .

Problem 5

Let rr and ss be positive real numbers such that (r+s−rs)(r+s+rs)=rs(r+s-rs)(r+s+rs)=rs . Find the minimum value of r+s−rsr+s-rs and r+s+rsr+s+rs
