Problem 1

Let ABCA B C be a triangle with circumcircle Γ\Gamma, circumcenter OO, and orthocenter HH. Assume that AB≠ACA B \neq A C and ∠A≠90∘\angle A \neq 90^{\circ}. Let MM and NN be the midpoints of AB‾\overline{A B} and AC‾\overline{A C}, respectively, and let EE and FF be the feet of the altitudes from BB and CC in △ABC\triangle A B C, respectively. Let PP be the intersection point of line MNM N with the tangent line to Γ\Gamma at AA. Let QQ be the intersection point, other than AA, of Γ\Gamma with the circumcircle of △AEF\triangle A E F. Let RR be the intersection point of lines AQA Q and EFE F. Prove that PR‾⊥OH‾\overline{P R} \perp \overline{O H}.

Problem 2

Ana and Banana are playing a game. First Ana picks a word, which is defined to be a nonempty sequence of capital English letters. Then Banana picks a nonnegative integer kk and challenges Ana to supply a word with exactly kk subsequences which are equal to Ana's word. Ana wins if she is able to supply such a word, otherwise she loses. For example, if Ana picks the word "TST", and Banana chooses k=4k=4, then Ana can supply the word "TSTST" which has 4 subsequences which are equal to Ana's word. Which words can Ana pick so that she can win no matter what value of kk Banana chooses?

Problem 3

Consider solutions to the equation x2−cx+1=f(x)g(x)x^{2}-c x+1=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} where ff and gg are nonzero polynomials with nonnegative real coefficients. For each c>0c>0, determine the minimum possible degree of ff, or show that no such f,gf, g exist.

Problem 4

Find all nonnegative integer solutions to 2a+3b+5c=n!2^{a}+3^{b}+5^{c}=n!

Problem 5

Let ABCA B C be a triangle with incenter II. Let DD be a point on side BCB C and let ωB\omega_{B} and ωC\omega_{C} be the incircles of △ABD\triangle A B D and △ACD\triangle A C D, respectively. Suppose that ωB\omega_{B} and ωC\omega_{C} are tangent to segment BCB C at points EE and FF, respectively. Let PP be the intersection of segment ADA D with the line joining the centers of ωB\omega_{B} and ωC\omega_{C}. Let XX be the intersection point of lines BIB I and CPC P and let YY be the intersection point of lines CIC I and BPB P. Prove that lines EXE X and FYF Y meet on the incircle of △ABC\triangle A B C.

Problem 6

A sequence of positive integers (an)n≥1\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1} is of Fibonacci type if it satisfies the recursive relation an+2=an+1+ana_{n+2}=a_{n+1}+a_{n} for all n≥1n \geq 1. Is it possible to partition the set of positive integers into an infinite number of Fibonacci type sequences?
