Problem 1

Each of the numbers 1,2,...,101, 2, ... , 10 is colored red or blue. 55 is red and at least one number is blue. If m,nm, n are different colors and m+n≤10m+n \le 10 , then m+nm+n is blue. If m,nm, n are different colors and mn≤10mn \le 10 , then mnmn is red. Find all the colors.

Problem 2

p(x)p(x) is a polynomial such that p(y2+1)=6y4−y2+5p(y^2+1) = 6y^4 - y^2 + 5 . Find p(y2−1)p(y^2-1) .

Problem 3

Are there any integral solutions to n2+(n+1)2+(n+2)2=m2n^2 + (n+1)^2 + (n+2)^2 = m^2 ?

Problem 4

The vertices of a triangle are three-dimensional lattice points. Show that its area is at least 12\frac12 .

Problem 5

Let f(n)f(n) be defined on the positive integers and satisfy: f(prime)=1f(prime) = 1 , f(ab)=af(b)+f(a)bf(ab) = a f(b) + f(a) b . Show that ff is unique and find all nn such that n=f(n)n = f(n) .

Problem 6
