Problem 3

Sixty points, of which thirty are coloured red, twenty are coloured blue and ten are coloured green, are marked on a circle. These points divide the circle into sixty arcs. Each of these arcs is assigned a number according to the colours of its endpoints: an arc between a red and a green point is assigned a number 11 , an arc between a red and a blue point is assigned a number 22 , and an arc between a blue and a green point is assigned a number 33 . The arcs between two points of the same colour are assigned a number 00 . What is the greatest possible sum of all the numbers assigned to the arcs?

Problem 4

Let pp and kk be positive integers such that pp is prime and k>1k>1 . Prove that there is at most one pair (x,y)(x,y) of positive integers such that xk+px=ykx^k+px=y^k .

Problem 5

Let ABCABC be a triangle such that AB≠ACAB\neq AC . We denote its orthocentre by HH , its circumcentre by OO and the midpoint of BCBC by DD . The extensions of HDHD and AOAO meet in PP . Prove that triangles AHPAHP and ABCABC have the same centroid.

Problem 6

Find all functions f:N→Rf:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R} such that f(km)+f(kn)−f(k)f(mn)≥1f(km)+f(kn)-f(k)f(mn)\ge 1 for all k,m,n∈Nk,m,n\in\mathbb{N} .
