VMO 2006 Problem 6

    Let SS be a set of 2006 numbers. We call a subset TT of SS naughty if for any two arbitrary numbers uu , vv (not neccesary distinct) in TT , u+vu+v is not in TT . Prove that

    1. If S={1,2,…,2006}S=\{1,2,\ldots,2006\} every naughty subset of SS has at most 1003 elements;

    2. If SS is a set of 2006 arbitrary positive integers, there exists a naughty subset of SS which has 669 elements.
