Day 1

$\textbf{Note:}$ For any geometry problem whose statement begins with an asterisk $(*)$, the first page of the solution must be a large, in-scale, clearly labeled diagram. Failure to meet this requirement will result in an automatic 1-point deduction.

Problem 1

For which positive integers $m$ does there exist an infinite arithmetic sequence of integers $a_1,a_2,\cdots$ and an infinite geometric sequence of integers $g_1,g_2,\cdots$ satisfying the following properties?

$\bullet$ $a_n-g_n$ is divisible by $m$ for all integers $n>1$;

$\bullet$ $a_2-a_1$ is not divisible by $m$.

Solution

Problem 2

Solution

Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers. The cells of an $(a + b + 1)\times(a + b + 1)$ grid are colored amber and bronze such that there are at least $a^2 + ab − b$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) amber cells and at least $b^2 + ab − a$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) bronze cells. Prove that it is possible to choose $a$ amber cells and $b$ bronze cells such that no two of the $a + b$ chosen cells lie in the same row or column.
