Problem 1

Xenia and Yagve take turns in playing the following game: A coin is placed on the first box in a row of nine cells. At each turn the player may choose to move the coin forward one step, move the coin forward four steps, or move coin back two steps. For a move to be allowed, the coin must land on one of them of nine cells. The winner is one who gets to move the coin to the last ninth cell. Who wins, given that Xenia makes the first move, and both players play optimally?

Problem 2

Let pp be a prime number. Find all pairs of coprime positive integers (m,n)(m,n) such that p+mp+n=mn+1p2.\frac{p+m}{p+n}=\frac{m}{n}+\frac{1}{p^2}.

Problem 3

Given the segments ABAB and CDCD not necessarily on the same plane. Point XX is the midpoint of the segment ABAB , and the point YY is the midpoint of CDCD . Given that point XX is not on line CDCD , and that point YY is not on line ABAB , prove that 2∣XY∣≤∣AD∣+∣BC∣2 | XY | \le | AD | + | BC | . When is equality achieved?

Problem 4

Let DD be the foot of the altitude towards BCBC in the triangle ABCABC . Let EE be the intersection of ABAB with the bisector of angle ∠C\angle C . Assume that the angle ∠AEC=45o\angle AEC = 45^o . Determine the angle ∠EDB\angle EDB .

Problem 5

Find a costant CC , such that Sab+bc+ca≤C\frac{S}{ab+bc+ca}\le C where a,b,ca,b,c are the side lengths of an arbitrary triangle, and SS is the area of the triangle. (The maximal number of points is given for the best possible constant, with proof.)

Problem 6

Let a,b,c,x,y,za,b,c,x,y,z be real numbers such that x+y+z=0x+y+z=0 , a+b+c≥0a+b+c\geq 0 , ab+bc+ca≥0ab+bc+ca \ge 0 . Prove that ax2+by2+cz2≥0ax^2+by^2+cz^2\ge 0
