Doesn't that look like a number on a pyramid?
Cool asyptote graphs
Asymptote is fun!

Solutions
Problem 1
There is one and only one perfect square in the form
where and is prime. Find that perfect square.
Solution 1
. Suppose . Then, , so since , so is less than both and and thus we have and . Adding them gives so by Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick, in some order. Hence, .
Problem 2
Suppose there are complex values and that satisfy
Find .
Solution 1
To make things easier, instead of saying , we say .
Now, we have . Expanding gives
.
To make things even simpler, let , so that .
Then, if , Newton's Sums gives
Therefore,
Now, we plug in
.
As we have done many times before, we substitute to get
.
Note: If you don't know Newton's Sums, you can also use Vieta's Formulas to bash.
Problem 3
Suppose
Find the remainder when is divided by 1000.
Solution 1 (Euler's Totient Theorem)
We first simplify
so
.
where the last step of all 3 congruences hold by the Euler's Totient Theorem. Hence,
Now, you can bash through solving linear congruences, but there is a smarter way. Notice that , and . Hence, , so . With this in mind, we proceed with finding .
Notice that and that . Therefore, we obtain the system of congruences :
.
Solving yields , and we're done.
Problem 4
Suppose is a -degrees polynomial. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells us that there are roots, say . Suppose all integers ranging from to satisfies . Also, suppose that
for an integer . If is the minimum possible positive integral value of
.
Find the number of factors of the prime in .
Solution 1
Since all integers ranging from to satisfies , we have that all integers ranging from to satisfies , so by the Factor Theorem,
.
since is a -degrees polynomial, and we let to be the leading coefficient of .
Also note that since is the roots of ,
Now, notice that
Similarly, we have
To minimize this, we minimize . The minimum can get is when , in which case
, so there is factors of .
Problem 5
is an isosceles triangle where . Let the circumcircle of be . Then, there is a point and a point on circle such that and trisects and , and point lies on minor arc . Point is chosen on segment such that is one of the altitudes of . Ray intersects at point (not ) and is extended past to point , and . Point is also on and . Let the perpendicular bisector of and intersect at . Let be a point such that is both equal to (in length) and is perpendicular to and is on the same side of as . Let be the reflection of point over line . There exist a circle centered at and tangent to at point . intersect at . Now suppose intersects at one distinct point, and , and are collinear. If , then can be expressed in the form , where and are not divisible by the squares of any prime. Find .
