Problem 3

The sequence p1,p2,p3,...p_1, p_2, p_3, ... is defined as follows. p1p_1 and p2p_2 are primes. pnp_n is the greatest prime divisor of pn−1+pn−2+2000p_{n-1} + p_{n-2} + 2000 . Show that the sequence is bounded.

Problem 4

PA1A2...AnPA_1A_2...A_n is a pyramid. The base A1A2...AnA_1A_2...A_n is a regular n-gon. The apex PP is placed so that the lines PAiPA_i all make an angle 60⋅60^{\cdot} with the plane of the base. For which nn is it possible to find BiB_i on PAiPA_i for i=2,3,...,ni = 2, 3, ... , n such that A1B2+B2B3+B3B4+...+Bn−1Bn+BnA1<2A1PA_1B_2 + B_2B_3 + B_3B_4 + ... + B_{n-1}B_n + B_nA_1 < 2A_1P ?

Problem 5

In the unit squre For the given natural number n≥2n \geq 2 find the smallest number kk that from each set of kk unit squares of the nn x nn chessboard one can achoose a subset such that the number of the unit squares contained in this subset an lying in a row or column of the chessboard is even
