Problem 1

Let the ABCDABCD be a quadrilateral without parallel sides, inscribed in a circle. Let PP and QQ be the intersection points between the lines containing the quadrilateral opposite sides. Show that the bisectors to the angles at PP and QQ are parallel to the bisectors of the angles at the intersection point of the diagonals of the quadrilateral.

Problem 2

Find all functions f:R→Rf: R \to R that satisfy f(x)+2f(1−x33)=x3f (x) + 2f (\sqrt[3]{1-x^3}) = x^3 for all real xx .

(Here x3\sqrt[3]{x} is defined all over RR .)

Problem 3

Let m be a positive integer. An mm -pattern is a sequence of mm symbols of strict inequalities. An mm -pattern is said to be realized by a sequence of m+1m + 1 real numbers when the numbers meet each of the inequalities in the given order. (For example, the 55 -pattern <,<,>,<,><, <,>, < ,> is realized by the sequence of numbers 1,4,7,−3,1,01, 4, 7, -3, 1, 0 .) Given mm , which is the least integer nn for which there exists any number sequence x1,...,xnx_1,... , x_n such that each mm -pattern is realized by a subsequence xi1,...,xim+1x_{i_1},... , x_{i_{m + 1}} with 1≤i1<...<im+1≤n1 \le i_1 <... < i_{m + 1} \le n ?

Problem 4

Find the least positive integer nn with the property: Among arbitrarily nn selected consecutive positive integers, all smaller than 20182018 , there is at least one that is divisible by its sum of digits .

Problem 5

In a triangle ABCABC , two lines are drawn that together trisect the angle at AA . These intersect the side BCBC at points PP and QQ so that PP is closer to BB and QQ is closer to CC . Determine the smallest constant kk such that ∣PQ∣≤k(∣BP∣+∣QC∣)| P Q | \le k (| BP | + | QC |) , for all such triangles. Determine if there are triangles for which equality applies.

Problem 6

For which positive integers nn can the polynomial p(x)=1+xn+x2np(x) = 1 + x^n + x^{2n} is written as a product of two polynomials with integer coefficients (of degree ≥1\ge 1 )?
