Problem 1

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and the points $M$ and $N$ on the sides $AB$ respectively $BC$, such that $2 \cdot \frac{CN}{BC} = \frac{AM}{AB}$. Let $P$ be a point on the line $AC$. Prove that the lines $MN$ and $NP$ are perpendicular if and only if $PN$ is the interior angle bisector of $\angle MPC$.

Solution

Problem 2

A square of side $n$ is formed from $n^2$ unit squares, each colored in red, yellow or green. Find minimal $n$, such that for each coloring, there exists a line and a column with at least 3 unit squares of the same color (on the same line or column).

Solution

Problem 3

In the acute-angle triangle $ABC$ we have $\angle ACB = 45^\circ$. The points $A_1$ and $B_1$ are the feet of the altitudes from $A$ and $B$, and $H$ is the orthocenter of the triangle. We consider the points $D$ and $E$ on the segments $AA_1$ and $BC$ such that $A_1D = A_1E = A_1B_1$. Prove that

a) $A_1B_1 = \sqrt{ \frac{A_1B^2+A_1C^2}{2} }$;

b) $CH=DE$.

Solution

Problem 4

Let $A$ be a set of positive integers with at least 2 elements. It is given that for any numbers $a>b$, $a,b \in A$ we have $\frac{ [a,b] }{ a- b } \in A$, where by $[a,b]$ we have denoted the least common multiple of $a$ and $b$. Prove that the set $A$ has exactly two elements.

Problem 1

We consider a prism with 6 faces, 5 of which are circumscriptible quadrilaterals. Prove that all the faces of the prism are circumscriptible quadrilaterals.

Solution

Problem 2

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exists an integer $k$, $k\geq 2$, and numbers $a_i \in \{ -1, 1 \}$, such that

$n = \sum_{1\leq i < j \leq k } a_ia_j$.

Solution

Problem 3

Let $ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1$ be a cube and $P$ a variable point on the side $[AB]$. The perpendicular plane on $AB$ which passes through $P$ intersects the line $AC'$ in $Q$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the segments $A'P$ and $BQ$ respectively.

a) Prove that the lines $MN$ and $BC'$ are perpendicular if and only if $P$ is the midpoint of $AB$.

b) Find the minimal value of the angle between the lines $MN$ and $BC'$.

Solution

Problem 4

Let $a,b,c \in \left[ \frac 12, 1 \right]$. Prove that

$2 \leq \frac{ a+b}{1+c} + \frac{ b+c}{1+a} + \frac{ c+a}{1+b} \leq 3$.

Problem 1

Find the maximal value of

$\left( x^3+1 \right) \left( y^3 + 1\right)$,

where $x,y \in \mathbb R$, $x+y=1$.

Dan Schwarz

Problem 2

Let $\displaystyle ABC$ and $\displaystyle DBC$ be isosceles triangle with the base $\displaystyle BC$. We know that $\displaystyle \measuredangle ABD = \frac{\pi}{2}$. Let $\displaystyle M$ be the midpoint of $\displaystyle BC$. The points $\displaystyle E,F,P$ are chosen such that $\displaystyle E \in (AB)$, $\displaystyle P \in (MC)$, $\displaystyle C \in (AF)$, and $\displaystyle \measuredangle BDE = \measuredangle ADP = \measuredangle CDF$. Prove that $\displaystyle P$ is the midpoint of $\displaystyle EF$ and $\displaystyle DP \perp EF$.

Problem 3

We have a quadrilateral $ABCD$ inscribed in a circle of radius $r$, for which there is a point $P$ on $CD$ such that $CB=BP=PA=AB$.

(a) Prove that there are points $A,B,C,D,P$ which fulfill the above conditions.

(b) Prove that $PD=r$.

Problem 4

$\displaystyle 2n$ students $\displaystyle (n \geq 5)$ participated at table tennis contest, which took $\displaystyle 4$ days. In every day, every student played a match. (It is possible that the same pair meets twice or more times, in different days) Prove that it is possible that the contest ends like this:

- there is only one winner;

- there are $\displaystyle 3$ students on the second place;

- no student lost all $\displaystyle 4$ matches.

How many students won only a single match and how many won exactly $\displaystyle 2$ matches? (In the above conditions)
