We denote the number of positive divisors of a positive integer $m$ by $d(m)$ and the number of distinct prime divisors of $m$ by $\omega(m)$. Let $k$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\omega(n) = k$ and $d(n)$ does not divide $d(a^2+b^2)$ for any positive integers $a, b$ satisfying $a + b = n$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$ and let $\Omega_A$ be the $A$-excircle. Let $X$ and $Y$ be the intersection points of $\omega$ and $\Omega_A$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the projections of $A$ onto the tangent lines to $\Omega_A$ at $X$ and $Y$ respectively. The tangent line at $P$ to the circumcircle of the triangle $APX$ intersects the tangent line at $Q$ to the circumcircle of the triangle $AQY$ at a point $R$. Prove that $\overline{AR} \perp \overline{BC}$.

Calculate the distance of chess king!!

A chess king was placed on a square of an \(8 \times 8\) board and made $64$ moves so that it visited all squares and returned to the starting square. At every moment, the distance from the center of the square the king was on to the center of the board was calculated. A move is called $\emph{pleasant}$ if this distance becomes smaller after the move. Find the maximum possible number of pleasant moves. (The chess king moves to a square adjacent either by side or by corner.)

We say that a positive integer $n$ is lovely if there exist a positive integer $k$ and (not necessarily distinct) positive integers $d_1$, $d_2$, $\ldots$, $d_k$ such that $n = d_1d_2\cdots d_k$ and $d_i^2 \mid n + d_i$ for $i=1,2,\ldots,k$.

a) Are there infinitely many lovely numbers?

b) Is there a lovely number, greater than $1$, which is a perfect square of an integer?
