Problem 1

A square of side 11 is covered with m2m^2 rectangles. Show that there is a rectangle with perimeter at least 4m\frac{4}{m} .

Problem 2

Find the maximum possible volume of a tetrahedron which has three faces with area 11 .

Problem 3

pp is a prime and mm is a non-negative integer <p−1< p-1 . Show that ∑j=1pjm\sum_{j=1}^p j^m is divisible by pp .

Problem 4

Find all nn such that there is a real polynomial f(x)f(x) of degree nn such that f(x)≥f′(x)f(x) \ge f'(x) for all real xx .

Problem 5

There is a chess tournament with 2n2n players ( n>1n > 1 ). There is at most one match between each pair of players. If it is not possible to find three players who all play each other, show that there are at most n2n^2 matches. Conversely, show that if there are at most n2n^2 matches, then it is possible to arrange them so that we cannot find three players who all play each other.

Problem 6

ABCABC is a triangle. The feet of the perpendiculars from BB and CC to the angle bisector at AA are K,LK, L respectively. NN is the midpoint of BCBC , and AMAM is an altitude. Show that K,L,N,MK,L,N,M are concyclic.
