Problem 1

Show that if we take any six numbers from the following array, one from each row and column, then the product is always the same:

4 6 10 14 22 26 6 9 15 21 33 39 10 15 25 35 55 65 16 24 40 56 88 104 18 27 45 63 99 117 20 30 50 70 110 130

Problem 2

Show that 52+53−52−53\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{52} + 5}- \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{52}- 5} is rational.

Problem 3

Show that if b=a+c2b = \frac{a+c}{2} in the triangle ABCABC , then cos⁡(A−C)+4cos⁡B=3\cos (A-C) + 4 \cos B = 3 .

Problem 4

ABCABC is a triangle. A circle through AA touches the side BCBC at DD and intersects the sides ABAB and ACAC again at E,FE, F respectively. EFEF bisects ∠AFD\angle AFD and ∠ADC=80o\angle ADC = 80^o . Find ∠ABC\angle ABC .

Problem 5

Find all polynomials p(x)p(x) such that p′(x)2=cp(x)p′′(x)p'(x)^2 = c p(x) p''(x) for some constant cc .

Problem 6

A chessboard is covered with 3232 dominos. Each domino covers two adjacent squares. Show that the number of horizontal dominos with a white square on the left equals the number with a white square on the right.
