  • Grade 9

For the triple (a,b,c)(a,b,c) of positive integers we say it is interesting if c2+1∣(a2+1)(b2+1)c^2+1\mid (a^2+1)(b^2+1) but none of the a2+1,b2+1a^2+1, b^2+1 are divisible by c2+1c^2+1 . Let (a,b,c)(a,b,c) be an interesting triple, prove that there are positive integers u,vu,v such that (u,v,c)(u,v,c) is interesting and uv<c3uv<c^3 .

Problem 94

  • Grade 9

On a table with 2525 columns and 300300 rows, Kostya painted all its cells in three colors. Then, Lesha, looking at the table, for each row names one of the three colors and marks in that row all cells of that color (if there are no cells of that color in that row, he does nothing). After that, all columns that have at least a marked square will be deleted. Kostya wants to be left as few as possible columns in the table, and Lesha wants there to be as many as possible columns in the table. What is the largest number of columns Lesha can guarantee to leave?

Problem 96

  • Grade 9

The points (1,1),(2,3),(4,5)(1,1),(2,3),(4,5) and (999,111)(999,111) are marked in the coordinate system. We continue to mark points in the following way :

  • If points (a,b)(a,b) are marked then (b,a)(b,a) and (a−b,a+b)(a-b,a+b) can be marked
  • If points (a,b)(a,b) and (c,d)(c,d) are marked then so can be (ad+bc,4ac−4bd)(ad+bc, 4ac-4bd) .

Can we, after some finite number of these steps, mark a point belonging to the line y=2xy=2x .

Andryusha has 100100 stones of different weight and he can distinguish the stones by appearance, but does not know their weight. Every evening, Andryusha can put exactly 1010 stones on the table and at night the brownie will order them in increasing weight. But, if the drum also lives in the house then surely he will in the morning change the places of some 22 stones.Andryusha knows all about this but does not know if there is a drum in his house. Can he find out?

On a social network, no user has more than ten friends ( the state "friendship" is symmetrical). The network is connected: if, upon learning interesting news a user starts sending it to its friends, and these friends to their own friends and so on, then at the end, all users hear about the news. Prove that the network administration can divide users into groups so that the following conditions are met:

  • each user is in exactly one group
  • each group is connected in the above sense
  • one of the groups contains from 11 to 100100 members and the remaining from 100100 to 900900 .

Problem 117

  • Grade 11

NN oligarchs built a country with NN cities with each one of them owning one city. In addition, each oligarch built some roads such that the maximal amount of roads an oligarch can build between two cities is 11 (note that there can be more than 11 road going through two cities, but they would belong to different oligarchs). A total of dd roads were built. Some oligarchs wanted to create a corporation by combining their cities and roads so that from any city of the corporation you can go to any city of the corporation using only corporation roads (roads can go to other cities outside corporation) but it turned out that no group of less than NN oligarchs can create a corporation. What is the maximal amount that dd can have?
