Problem 1

Determine the last two digits of the product of the squares of all positive odd integers less than 20142014 .

Problem 3

In obtuse triangle ABCABC , with the obtuse angle at AA , let DD , EE , FF be the feet of the altitudes through AA , BB , CC respectively. DEDE is parallel to CFCF , and DFDF is parallel to the angle bisector of ∠BAC\angle BAC . Find the angles of the triangle.

Problem 4

(a) Let a,x,ya,x,y be positive integers. Prove: if x≠yx\ne y , the also ax+gcd⁡(a,x)+lcm(a,x)≠ay+gcd⁡(a,y)+lcm(a,y).ax+\gcd(a,x)+\text{lcm}(a,x)\ne ay+\gcd(a,y)+\text{lcm}(a,y).

(b) Show that there are no two positive integers aa and bb such that ab+gcd⁡(a,b)+lcm(a,b)=2014.ab+\gcd(a,b)+\text{lcm}(a,b)=2014.

Problem 5

Let n>1n > 1 be an integer. An n×nn \times n -square is divided into n2n^2 unit squares. Of these unit squares, nn are coloured green and nn are coloured blue, and all remaining ones are coloured white. Are there more such colourings for which there is exactly one green square in each row and exactly one blue square in each column; or colourings for which there is exactly one green square and exactly one blue square in each row?

Problem 6

Let OO be the centre of a two-dimensional coordinate system, and let A1,A2,…,AnA_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n be points in the first quadrant and B1,B2,…,BmB_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m points in the second quadrant. We associate numbers a1,a2,…,ana_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n to the points A1,A2,…,AnA_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n and numbers b1,b2,…,bmb_1, b_2, \ldots, b_m to the points B1,B2,…,BmB_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m , respectively. It turns out that the area of triangle OAjBkOA_jB_k is always equal to the product ajbka_jb_k , for any jj and kk . Show that either all the AjA_j or all the BkB_k lie on a single line through OO .
