, do not answer with "
is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "
is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
is chosen. Prove that there exists a prime number that divides infinitely many terms of the sequence 
, where![\[
b_k = a^{k^k} \cdot 2^{2^k - k} + 1.

be a logarithmic spiral centered at the origin (ie curve satisfying for any point 
on it, line 
makes a fixed angle with the tangent to at ). Let 
be a rectangular hyperbola centered at the origin, scaled such that it is tangent to the logarithmic spiral at some point.
on the spiral, the polar of wrt. is tangent to the spiral.
such that every positive integer appears exactly once and the product of the first 
terms is a perfect 
power ?
be non-negative real numbers such that ![\[b+c\leqslant a+1,\quad c+a\leqslant b+1,\quad a+b\leqslant c+1.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/9/e/b9e86e898c0536b7323a03611d5bdbf679caa710.png)
Prove that

(The perimeter of shape is defined as the total length of the boundary segments between a black and a white cell.), assuming both players play optimally?
called ‘nice’ if and only if
