USAMO 2005 Problem 4

  • Day 2

Legs L1,L2,L3,L4L_1, L_2, L_3, L_4 of a square table each have length nn , where nn is a positive integer. For how many ordered 4-tuples (k1,k2,k3,k4)(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4) of nonnegative integers can we cut a piece of length kik_i from the end of leg Li(i=1,2,3,4)L_i (i=1,2,3,4) and still have a stable table?

(The table is stable if it can be placed so that all four of the leg ends touch the floor. Note that a cut leg of length 0 is permitted.)
