8.4. In a chess tournament, each of the 10 players played one game against each other, and Petya came in last place (scored fewer points than any other participant). Then two players were disqualified, and all points earned in matches against them were annulled, and these two players were removed from the table. It turned out that as a result, Petya became the winner of the tournament (scored more points than any other participant). How many points did Petya end up with (after the disqualification of the players)? 1 point is awarded for a win, 0.5 points for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
|
Answer: 4 points.
Solution. In a tournament with 10 players, played in a single round, $\frac{10 \cdot 9}{2}=45$ points are distributed. Therefore, there will be a player who scores no more than $45: 10=4.5$ points. This means that the player who finished in absolute last place scored no more than 4 points. Similarly, in a tournament with $10-2=8$ players, played in a single round, $\frac{8 \cdot 7}{2}=28$ points are distributed. In such a tournament, there will be a player who scores no less than $28: 8=3.5$ points. This means that the player who finished in absolute first place (after the disqualification) scored no less than 4 points. Therefore, Petya could have scored only 4 points.
Comment. A correct answer without justification - 0 points.
A correct answer obtained by considering an example - 1 point.
One of the two estimates for the number of points Petya scored (before or after disqualification) is correctly proven - 3 points.
Note. The tournament described in the problem is possible. Providing an example of such a tournament is not required, as it follows from the problem statement that such a tournament exists. Points are not deducted for the lack of such an example.

8.2. In the notebook, all irreducible fractions with the numerator 15 are written, which are greater than $\frac{1}{16}$ and less than $\frac{1}{15} \cdot$ How many such fractions are written in the notebook?
|
Answer: 8 fractions.
Solution. We look for all suitable irreducible fractions of the form $\frac{n}{15}$. Since $\frac{1}{16} < \frac{15}{n}$, then $\frac{15}{225} > \frac{15}{n}$, and $n > 225$. Therefore, $225 < n < 240$. The fraction $\frac{n}{15}$ is irreducible, meaning $n$ is not divisible by 3 or 5. It is not difficult to verify that out of the range from 226 to 239 (14 numbers), we need to exclude 6 numbers (228, 230, 231, 234, 235, 237). This leaves 8 possible values for $n$.
## Criteria.
1 point. Correct answer without correct justification.
2 points. Correctly obtained range for $n$.
0 points. Not all cases considered when listing fractions.
Comment. It is quite possible that participants will try to list all such fractions and then justify why the denominator cannot be greater or less, carefully monitoring the accuracy of such justifications.

8.3. In the Banana Republic, parliamentary elections were held in which all residents participated. All those who voted for the "Mandarin" party love mandarins. Among those who voted for other parties, $90\%$ do not like mandarins (the rest do like them). What percentage of the votes did the "Mandarin" party receive in the elections, if exactly $46\%$ of the republic's residents love mandarins?
|
Answer: $40 \%$.
Solution. Let $x \%$ be the percentage of votes for the party "Mandarin". Then the percentage of votes for the other parties is $(100-x) \%$. One tenth of $(100-x) \%$ love mandarins, so we get the equation $x+(100-x) / 10=46$. Solving this, we find that $x=40$.

8.5. In an isosceles triangle \(ABC\), the angle \(A\) at the base is \(75^\circ\). The bisector of angle \(A\) intersects side \(BC\) at point \(K\). Find the distance from point \(K\) to the base \(AC\), if \(BK=10\).
|
Answer: 5.
Solution. In triangle $ABC$, $\angle B = (180^0 - 75^0 - 75^0) = 30^0$. Drop perpendiculars from point $K$: $KH$ to side $AB$, and $KN$ to side $AC$. In the right triangle $HBK$, the hypotenuse $BK$ is 10. Angle $B$ is 30 degrees, and the side opposite to it is half the hypotenuse, so $HK = 5$. Triangles $AHK$ and $ANK$ are equal by hypotenuse and acute angle, so $KN = KH = 5$.
## Criteria.

9.3. Given a triangle $A B C$. A line parallel to $A C$ intersects sides $A B$ and $B C$ at points $P$ and $T$ respectively, and the median $A M$ at point $Q$. It is known that $P Q=3$, and $Q T=5$. Find the length of $A C$.
|
Answer: $AC=11$.
Solution. First method. Draw a line through point $Q$ parallel to $BC$ (where $N$ and $L$ are the points of intersection of this line with sides $AB$ and $AC$ respectively, see Fig. 9.3a). Since $AM$ is the median of triangle $ABC$, then $LQ=NQ$. Moreover, $PT \| AC$, so $PQ$ is the midline of triangle $ANL$. Therefore, $AL=2PQ=6$. Additionally, $QL \| TC$ and $QT \| LC$, hence $LQTC$ is a parallelogram, from which $LC=QT=5$. Thus, $AC=AL+LC=6+5=11$.

Fig. 9.3a

Fig. 9.3b

Fig. 9.3c
Second method. Draw the midline $XM$ in triangle $ABC$ (see Fig. 9.3b). Then $XM \| PT \| AC$, hence $\triangle APQ \sim \triangle AXM$ and $\triangle QMT \sim \triangle AMC$, from which it follows that $\frac{PQ}{XM}=\frac{AQ}{AM}$ and $\frac{QT}{AC}=\frac{QM}{AM}$, that is, $\frac{PQ}{XM}+\frac{QT}{AC}=1$. Substituting the values from the problem and considering that $AC=2MX$, we get $\frac{6}{AC}+\frac{5}{AC}=1$, from which $AC=11$.
Third method. Draw the midline $MN$ in triangle $ABC$ (see Fig. 9.3c). Since $QT \| AC$, then $QT$ is bisected by segment $MN$. From the similarity of triangles $APQ$ and $MXQ$, we get $\frac{AQ}{QM}=\frac{3}{2.5}=\frac{6}{5}$. Then $\frac{MQ}{AM}=\frac{5}{11}$, from which $\frac{QT}{AC}=\frac{5}{11}$, that is, $AC=11$.
Fourth method. Write the Menelaus theorem for triangle $BPT$ and line $AM: \frac{PQ}{QT} \cdot \frac{TM}{MB} \cdot \frac{BA}{AP}=1$. Let $BP=x, AP=y$. Then $\frac{BT}{TC}=\frac{x}{y}$ and $\frac{TM}{MB}=\left(\frac{x+y}{2}-y\right): \frac{x+y}{2}=\frac{x-y}{x+y}$. Thus, $\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{x-y}{x+y} \cdot \frac{x+y}{y}=1$, from which $\frac{x-y}{y}=\frac{5}{3}$, that is, $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{3}$. Since $\frac{PT}{AC}=\frac{x}{x+y}$, then $AC=11$.

9.4. The sum of ten natural numbers is 1001. What is the greatest value that the GCD (greatest common divisor) of these numbers can take?
|
Answer: 91.
Solution. Example. Consider nine numbers equal to 91, and the number 182. Their sum is 1001.
Estimate. We will prove that the GCD cannot take a value greater than 91. Note that $1001=7 \times 11 \times 13$. Since each term in this sum is divisible by the GCD, the GCD is a divisor of the number 1001. On the other hand, the smallest term in the sum (and thus the GCD) is no greater than 101. It remains to note that 91 is the largest divisor of the number 1001 that satisfies this condition.

7.2. There are nuts in three boxes. In the first box, there are six nuts fewer than in the other two boxes combined, and in the second box, there are ten fewer nuts than in the other two boxes combined. How many nuts are in the third box? Justify your answer.
|
Solution: Let there be $x$ nuts in the first box, $y$ and $z$ in the second and third boxes, respectively. Then the condition of the problem is defined by the equations $x+6=y+z$ and $x+z=y+10$. From the first equation, $x-y=z-6$, and from the second, $x-y=10-z$. Therefore, $z-6=10-z$, from which $z=8$.

4. Answer. 190. Solution 1. Among the lines intersecting $y=20-x$, there is the line $y=x$. Moreover, the picture is symmetric with respect to the line $y=x$, so the sum of the abscissas is equal to the sum of the ordinates. Through the point $(19 ; 19)$, $180: 9=20$ lines are drawn, of which 19 intersect the line $y=20-x$. For each point on the line $y=20-x$, the sum of the coordinates is 20, so the sum of the abscissas and ordinates of all points is $20 \cdot 19=380$, then the sum of the abscissas is half of this and equals 190.
|
Solution 2. Through the point $(19 ; 19)$, $180: 9=20$ lines are drawn, of which 19 intersect the line $y=20-x$. Let the line $y=x$ intersect the line $y=20-x$ at point $A$, then $x_{A}=10$. The remaining 18 lines are divided into pairs, intersecting the line $y=20-x$ at symmetric points $B$ and $C$ (triangles $M A B$ and $M A C$ are equal by a leg and an acute angle). Then $x_{B}+x_{C}=2 x_{A}=20$. The sum of the abscissas of all intersection points is $10+9 \cdot 20=190$.

Grading criteria. Correct solution - 7 points. An error in calculating the number of lines passing through the point (19;19): 360:9=40, all other reasoning is correct - 4 points. It is justified that the picture is symmetric with respect to the line $y=x$, but there is no further progress - 2 points. In all other cases - 0 points.

Problem 1. The sum of the digits of a natural number $a$ is to the sum of the digits of the number $2a$ as 19 to 9. Prove that the decimal representation of the number $a$ has at least 29 digits.
|
Solution. From the condition, it follows that the sum of the digits of the number $2a$ is divisible by 9. Therefore, the number $2a$ itself, and consequently the number $a$, and the sum of its digits, are divisible by 9. In addition, the sum of the digits of the number $a$ is divisible by 19. Thus, it is divisible by 171. Let it be 171n. If there were no carries across the digits when adding $a+a$ in a column, the sum of the digits of $2a$ would be 342n. In reality, it equals $\frac{9 \cdot 17 n}{19}=81$ n. Therefore, the sum of the digits is reduced by $261 n$ due to the carries. Each carry reduces the sum by 9. Thus, there were $\frac{261 n}{9}=29 n$ carries, which means the number of digits in the sum is at least 29.

Problem 2. On a plane, 100 points are marked. It turns out that on two different lines a and b, there are 40 marked points each. What is the maximum number of marked points that can lie on a line that does not coincide with a and b?
|
Answer: 23. Solution: Lines $a$ and $b$ have no more than one common point. If such a point exists and is marked, then together on lines $a$ and $b$ there are 79 marked points; otherwise, there are 80. Therefore, outside lines $a$ and $b$, there are no more than 21 marked points.
Take an arbitrary line $c$ that does not coincide with $a$ and $b$. On it, there are no more than 21 points not lying on $a$ and $b$, and, in addition, the points of its intersection with $a$ and $b$ can be marked - a total of no more than 23 points.
Mark the vertices of some triangle $ABC$. On its sides $a=BC$ and $b=AC$, mark another 38 points each, and on side $c=AB$, mark another 21 points. We have constructed an example where exactly 23 points lie on line $c$, which completes the solution.

Problem 3. A row of 101 numbers is written (the numbers are not necessarily integers). The arithmetic mean of all the numbers without the first one is 2022, the arithmetic mean of all the numbers without the last one is 2023, and the arithmetic mean of the first and last numbers is 51. What is the sum of all the written numbers?
|
Answer. 202301. Solution. Let the sum of all numbers be $S$, the first number be $a$, and the last number be $b$. According to the conditions, $(S-a) / 100=2022, \quad(S-b) / 100=2023$, $(a+b) / 2=51$, from which we get $S-a=2022 \cdot 100, S-b=2023 \cdot 100, a+b=51 \cdot 2$. Adding these three equations, we get $2 S=4045 \cdot 100+51 \cdot 2$, from which $S=4045 \cdot 50+51=202301$.

1. In an online store, two types of New Year's gifts are sold. The first type of gift contains a toy, 3 chocolate, and 15 caramel candies and costs 350 rubles. The second type of gift contains 20 chocolate and 5 caramel candies and costs 500 rubles. Eugene wants to buy an equal number of caramel and chocolate candies, and these candies are only sold in the above-mentioned gift sets. What is the smallest non-zero amount of money he will have to spend?
|
Answer: 3750 rubles.
Solution. Consider integer values $m$ and $n$ - the quantities of purchased gift sets of candies of the 1st and 2nd types, respectively. These quantities must satisfy the conditions of the problem: the total number of caramel and chocolate candies in them is the same, and this number is the smallest possible under the conditions. Then, satisfying the conditions of the problem, we form an equation for the unknown quantities: $3 m + 20 n = 15 m + 5 n$
solving which as an equation in integers, we get the ratio $5 n = 4 m$,
from which we obtain a non-zero solution $n = 4 k, m = 5 k, k \in \mathbb{N}$. The smallest solution will be for $k=1$. That is, $m=5, n=4$. Then, the smallest cost of such a quantity of gifts will be $350 m + 500 n = 350 \cdot 5 + 500 \cdot 4 = 3750$ rubles.

6. The school dance studio calculated that this year they have already performed the dance "Circle Dance" 40 times, and in each performance, exactly 10 people participated, and any two dancers performed together no more than once. Prove that the studio has at least 60 dancers.
|
Solution. First solution. According to the problem, any two dancers could meet at no more than one performance. We will consider such two dancers as a pair. Consider any performance: from 10 participants of the performance, no more than $\frac{10 \cdot 9}{2}=45$ pairs can be formed (the number of "handshakes," $C_{10}^{2}=45$). Since there were 40 performances in total, from all their participants, no fewer than $45 \cdot 40=1800$ pairs can be formed. Consider a group of 60 dancers. From 60 people, no more than $\frac{60 \cdot 59}{2}=30 \cdot 59=1770$ pairs can be formed, which is less than 1800. Thus, the group has no fewer than 60 dancers.
Second solution. By contradiction. Suppose the studio group consists of $N$ dancers, where $N\frac{400}{60}>6$, which means there is at least one dancer who participated in no fewer than seven performances. Then, according to the problem, in these performances, he met with all their participants exactly once, that is, with no fewer than $7 \cdot 9=63$ different dancers. Contradiction, as there were no more than 60 in total.

3. Points $O$ and $I$ are the centers of the circumcircle and incircle of triangle $ABC$, and $M$ is the midpoint of the arc $AC$ of the circumcircle (not containing $B$). It is known that $AB=15, BC=7$, and $MI=MO$. Find $AC$.
|
Answer: $A C=13$.
Solution. (Fig. 5). First, we will prove that $M I=M A$ (trident lemma).
Indeed, the external angle $A I M$ of triangle $A I B$ is equal to the sum of angles $B A I$ and $A B I$, and since $A I$ and $B I$ are angle bisectors, $\angle A I M=\frac{1}{2} \angle A+\frac{1}{2} \angle B$. Angle $I A M$ is equal to the sum of angles $I A C$ and $C A M$. But $\angle I A C=\frac{1}{2} \angle A$, and $\angle C A M=\angle C B M=\frac{1}{2} \angle B$ - as inscribed angles.
From this, it follows that $\angle I A M=\frac{1}{2} \angle A+\frac{1}{2} \angle B=\angle A I M$, and therefore, triangle $A M I$ is isosceles, $M I=M A$. By the condition $M O=M I$, so by the trident lemma $A O=M O=M I=M A$. Thus, triangle $A O M$ is equilateral and $\angle A O M=60^{\circ}$. Since the central angle $A O M$ is twice the inscribed angle $A B M$, we have $\frac{1}{2} \angle B=30^{\circ}$, that is, $\angle B=60^{\circ}$.
By the cosine theorem, $A C^{2}=A B^{2}+B C^{2}-2 \cdot A B \cdot B C \cos 60^{\circ}=13^{2}$.
Criteria. Answer without explanation - 0 points. Proved that angle $B$ is $60^{\circ}-5$ points. Points are not deducted for the absence of proof of the trident lemma. Full solution - 7 points.

5. Among the numbers from 1 to $10^{23}$, which are more numerous - those with a two-digit sum of digits or those with a three-digit sum? Answer: those with a three-digit sum.
|
Solution. The number $10^{23}$ has a digit sum of 1, so we will not consider it. We will write numbers as 23-digit numbers, adding leading zeros. We will call digits "complementary" if their sum is 9. To each number with a two-digit digit sum, we will correspond a number by replacing each digit with its "complementary" counterpart. Each number will be paired with a unique number. If the digit sum of a number is x, then the digit sum of its paired number will be $9 * 23 - x = 207 - x \geq 207 - 99 = 108$, and it will not exceed $9 * 23$, that is, it will be a three-digit number. Therefore, the number of numbers with a three-digit digit sum is no less than those with a two-digit digit sum. However, there is also, for example, the number $99...99$ (23 nines), which is not paired with any number.

|
Answer: 5.
Solution. Since among Petya's coins, 19 are not two-ruble coins, Petya has a total of 6 two-ruble coins. Similarly, it follows that Petya has 5 ten-ruble coins and 9 one-ruble coins.
Thus, Petya has $25-6-5-9=5$ five-ruble coins.

Then the first and third numbers no longer have common digits with the guessed number in the same place, so the second digit is neither 0 nor 2, and the third digit is neither 4 nor 9. But then the second number cannot have a common digit with the guessed number in the same place. This leads to a contradiction, so the first digit is not 1.
Reasoning similarly, we find that the second digit is not 0 (otherwise the third number would not have a common digit with the guessed number in the same place), and the third digit is not 4 (otherwise the first number would not have a common digit with the guessed number in the same place).
Thus, the second number can only have the common hundreds digit 7 with the guessed number, the third number can only have the common tens digit 2, and the first number can only have the common units digit 9, i.e., the guessed number is 729.

Problem 4.7. Denis threw darts at four identical dartboards: he threw exactly three darts at each board, where they landed is shown in the figure. On the first board, he scored 30 points, on the second - 38 points, on the third - 41 points. How many points did he score on the fourth board? (For hitting each specific zone - ring or central field - a certain number of points is awarded.)

|
Answer: 34.
Solution. "Add" the first two dart fields: we get 2 hits in the central field, 2 hits in the inner ring, 2 hits in the outer ring. Thus, the sum of points on the first and second fields is twice the number of points obtained for the fourth field.
From this, it is not difficult to get the answer
$$
(30+38): 2=34

Problem 4.8. In a grove, there are trees of four species: birches, firs, pines, and aspens. There are a total of 100 trees. It is known that among any 85 trees, there will be trees of all four species. Among what minimum number of any trees in this grove will there definitely be trees of at least three species?
|
Answer: 69.
Solution. Suppose there are no more than 15 birches in the grove. Then there are at least 85 other trees, and according to the problem's condition, among them, there must be trees of all four types. This is a contradiction. Therefore, there must be at least 16 birches in the grove. Similarly, we can conclude that there are at least 16 trees of each type.
We will prove that among any 69 trees, there will definitely be three different types of trees. Suppose this is not the case, and among some 69 trees, there are only two different types. Then among the remaining 31 trees, there are trees of the other two types, but as we have proven earlier, each type is represented by at least 16 trees. This is a contradiction.
Now, let's provide an example where among some 68 trees, there are no more than two types (i.e., 68 trees may "not be enough"). Suppose in the grove, there are 34 birches, 34 firs, 16 pines, and 16 aspens. From the previous reasoning, we understand that among any 85 trees, there will be trees of all four types (since among the missing 15 trees, no type can be entirely absent). However, if we take all the birches and firs, a total of 68 trees, then among them, there will be no trees of three types.

Problem 5.1. After a football match, the coach lined up the team as shown in the figure, and commanded: "Run to the locker room, those whose number is less than that of any of their neighbors." After several people ran away, he repeated his command. The coach continued until only one player was left. What is Igor's number, if it is known that after he ran away, 3 people remained in the line? (After each command, one or several players ran away, after which the line closed, and there were no empty spaces between the remaining players.)

|
Answer: 5.
Solution. It is clear that after the first command, the players left are $9,11,10,6,8,5,4,1$. After the second command, the players left are $11,10,8,5,4$. After the third - $11,10,8,5$. After the fourth - $11,10,8$. Therefore, Igor had the number 5.

Problem 5.3. By September 1st, Vlad bought himself several ballpoint and gel pens. He noticed that if all the pens he bought were gel pens, he would have paid 4 times more than he actually did. And if all the pens were ballpoint pens, the purchase would have cost him 2 times less than the actual price. How many times more expensive is a gel pen compared to a ballpoint pen?
|
Answer: 8.
Solution. If all the pens were gel pens, their price would be 4 times the actual price, which in turn is 2 times more than if all the pens were ballpoint pens. Therefore, gel pens cost $4 \cdot 2=8$ times more than ballpoint pens. Consequently, one gel pen is 8 times more expensive than one ballpoint pen.

Problem 5.6. Vanya received three sets of candies as a New Year's gift. In the sets, there are three types of candies: lollipops, chocolate, and jelly. The total number of lollipops in all three sets is equal to the total number of chocolate candies in all three sets, as well as the total number of jelly candies in all three sets. In the first set, there are an equal number of chocolate and jelly candies, and 7 more lollipops. In the second set, there are an equal number of lollipops and chocolate candies, and 15 fewer jelly candies. How many candies are in the third set, if it is known that there are no lollipops there?
|
Answer: 29.
Solution. There are more lollipops than jelly candies in the first set by 7, and in the second set by 15. Since the total number of each type of candy is the same in all sets, and there are 0 lollipops in the third set, there must be $7+15=22$ jelly candies in the third set.
Similarly, there are more lollipops than chocolate candies in the first set by 7, and in the second set by 0. Since the total number of each type of candy is the same in all sets, and there are 0 lollipops in the third set, there must be 7 chocolate candies in the third set.
Therefore, the total number of candies in the third set is $22+7+0=29$.

In three pieces marked with the letter "P," he put fish, in two pieces marked with the letter "K," he put sausage, and in one piece, he added both, but did not mark it (all other pieces are without filling). Jerry also told Tom that in any $6 \times 6$ square, there are at least 2 pieces with fish, and in any $3 \times 3$ square, there is no more than one piece with sausage.
What is the minimum number of pieces of cake Tom needs to eat to ensure that he gets a piece with both fish and sausage?

# Answer: 5.
Solution. Let's call a piece with fish and sausage a coveted piece.
According to the problem, in any $6 \times 6$ square, there are at least 2 pieces with fish. In any such square, at least one known piece with fish is already included; consider the squares that contain only 1 known piece of fish (all of them are adjacent to the right edge of the pie). It can be seen that they have a common rectangle of $4 \times 6$ (gray in Figure 1). Therefore, the coveted piece must be in this rectangle.

Figure 1: Solution to problem 5.7
Next, according to the problem, in any $3 \times 3$ square, there is no more than 1 piece with sausage. Therefore, in any such square that already contains a known piece of sausage, the coveted piece will not be there. Such squares cover areas of $5 \times 5$ centered on each piece of sausage (shaded in the figure).
There remain exactly 5 cells (gray but not shaded). It is not difficult to verify that each of these 5 cases satisfies the conditions of the problem. If Tom eats no more than 4 pieces of the pie, one of the above-mentioned five cells will definitely remain untouched, and the coveted piece may be in it. If Tom eats 5 pieces in these cells, then among them, there will definitely be the coveted one.

Problem 6.3. Three merchants: Foma, Yerema, and Julius met in Novgorod. If Foma gives Yerema 70 gold coins, then Yerema and Julius will have the same amount of money. If Foma gives Yerema 40 gold coins, then Foma and Julius will have the same amount of money. How many gold coins should Foma give Yerema so that they both have the same amount of money?
|
Answer: 55.
Solution. From the first condition, it follows that Yuliy has 70 more coins than Yeremy. From the second condition, it follows that Foma has 40 more coins than Yuliy. Therefore, Foma has $40+70=110$ more coins than Yeremy. For them to have an equal amount of money, Foma must give Yeremy half of this difference, which is $\frac{110}{2}=55$ coins.

Problem 6.4. In a coastal village, 7 people go fishing every day, 8 people go fishing every other day, 3 people go fishing every three days, and the rest do not fish at all. Yesterday, 12 people went fishing, and today, 10 people are fishing. How many people will go fishing tomorrow?
|
Answer: 15.
Solution. Let's calculate how many times in total they fished yesterday and today. 7 people who fish every day fished 2 times each, i.e., a total of 14 times. 8 people who fish every other day fished exactly 1 time each, i.e., a total of 8 times. Therefore, these 15 people fished a total of $14+8=22$ times over the past two days.
According to the problem, they fished $12+10=22$ times in total over the past two days. Therefore, the fishermen who fish every three days were not present yesterday and today, and they will all come to fish tomorrow. Additionally, 7 people who fish every day will come tomorrow, and $12-7=5$ fishermen who fish every other day will also come. Thus, a total of $3+7+5=15$ people will come to fish tomorrow.

|
Answer: 29.
Solution. The side of the largest square (with vertex $A$) is greater than the side of the second largest square (with vertex $C$) by the length of segment $A B$, which is 11. Similarly, the side of the second largest square is greater than the side of the third largest square (with vertex $E$) by the length of segment $C D$, which is 5. And its side is greater than the side of the smallest square by the length of segment $E F$, which is 13. In total, the side of the largest square is greater than the side of the smallest square by the length of segment $G H$, which is $11+5+13=29$.

Problem 6.6. Four girls and eight boys came to take a class photo. The children approach the photographer in pairs and take a joint photo. Among what minimum number of
photos will there definitely be either a photo of two boys, or a photo of two girls, or two photos of the same children?
|
Answer: 33.
Solution. Suppose at some point there is neither a photo of two boys, nor a photo of two girls, nor two photos of the same children. Then, on each photo, there is a boy and a girl, and on different photos, there are different pairs. However, the total number of possible pairs consisting of a boy and a girl is $4 \cdot 8=32$, and each of these pairs can be captured in no more than one photo. Therefore, among any 33 photos, there must be either a photo of people of the same gender, or two photos of the same pair of people.
At the same time, 32 photos may not be enough: they can capture different pairs consisting of a boy and a girl.

Problem 6.8. A natural number $n$ is called good if 2020 gives a remainder of 22 when divided by $n$. How many good numbers exist?
|
Answer: 10.
Solution. In the subsequent solution, the expression of the form $a^{k}$ - the number $a$ raised to the power of $k$ - is the number $a$ multiplied by itself $k$ times. We will also consider $a^{0}=1$. For example, $3^{2}=3 \cdot 3=9$, and $2^{0}=1$.
Since 2020 gives a remainder of 22 when divided by $n$, then $2020-22=1998$ is divisible by $n$, and also $n>22$ (since the remainder of the division is less than the divisor). Therefore, we need to find the number of divisors of 1998 that are greater than 22. Clearly, any such number is a good number.
Let's factorize 1998 into prime factors: $1998=2 \cdot 3^{3} \cdot 37$. Any of its divisors that are divisible by 37 are greater than 22, so they are good numbers. Such divisors are represented in the form $2^{a} \cdot 3^{b} \cdot 37$, where $a$ can take one of the values 0,1 (2 options), and $b$ can take one of the values $0,1,2,3$ (4 options). Therefore, there are $2 \cdot 4=8$ such divisors.
Now let's count the number of divisors that are not divisible by 37. Such divisors are represented in the form $2^{c} \cdot 3^{d}$, where $c$ can take one of the values 0,1, and $d$ can take one of the values $0,1,2,3$. If $d>22$, so it is a good number. There are only two such divisors: $3^{3}$ and $2 \cdot 3^{3}$.
In total, there are $8+2=10$ good numbers.
Remark. Knowing that $1998=2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 37$, we can simply list all 16 divisors of this number and verify that exactly 10 of them exceed 22:
$$
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,37,54,74,111,222,333,666,999,1998

Problem 7.3. The pages in a book are numbered as follows: the first sheet is two pages (with numbers 1 and 2), the second sheet is the next two pages (with numbers 3 and 4), and so on. The hooligan Petya tore out several consecutive sheets from the book: the first torn page has the number 185, and the number of the last torn page consists of the same digits but in a different order. How many sheets did Petya tear out?
|
Answer: 167.
Solution. Since any leaf ends with a page number that is an even number, the number of the last torn-out page is either 158 or 518. But 158 does not work, since 158 < 185. Therefore, the last page ends with the number 518. Now let's calculate the number of torn-out pages. Among the pages from 1 to 518, the pages from 1 to 184 were not torn out. Therefore, 518 - 184 = 334 pages were torn out. There are half as many leaves, which is 334 / 2 = 167.

Problem 7.5. A rectangle was cut into nine squares, as shown in the figure. The lengths of the sides of the rectangle and all the squares are integers. What is the smallest value that the perimeter of the rectangle can take?

|
Answer: 52.
Solution. Inside the square, we will write the length of its side. Let the sides of the two squares be $a$ and $b$, and we will sequentially calculate the lengths of the sides of the squares.


The sum of the lengths of the sides of the two squares adjacent to the left side of the rectangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of the sides of the two squares adjacent to the right side of the rectangle. We get the equation
$$
\begin{aligned}
(2 a+b)+(3 a+b) & =(12 a-2 b)+(8 a-b) \\
5 a+2 b & =20 a-3 b \\
b & =3 a
\end{aligned}
$$
Thus, to minimize the perimeter of the rectangle, we need to choose $a=1$, $b=3$. It is easy to check that with these values, the rectangle will have dimensions $11 \times 15$, and its perimeter will be 52.

Problem 7.6. The distance between cities A and B is an integer number of kilometers. Along the road between the cities, there is a signpost every kilometer: on one side is the distance to city A, and on the other side is the distance to city B. Slava walked from city A to city B. During his journey, Slava calculated the GCD of the numbers on each signpost. It turned out that among the calculated GCDs, only the numbers 1, 3, and 13 appeared. What is the distance between the cities?
|
Answer: 39.
Solution. Suppose we are standing next to a sign with numbers $x$ and $y$ written on it. If $\text{GCD}(x, y) = d$, then $(x + y) \vdots d$, i.e., the distance between the cities is divisible by all the calculated GCDs.
Now suppose the distance between the cities (let's call it $S$) is divisible by some natural number $d$. Then at a distance of $d$ kilometers from city A, the numbers on the sign are $d$ and $S - d$, and the GCD of these numbers is exactly $d$.
From all this, we conclude that 1, 3, and 13 are the complete list of divisors of the distance between the cities (excluding the distance itself). Therefore, the distance is 39 kilometers.

Problem 7.8. Carlson and Little Man have several jars of jam, each weighing an integer number of pounds.
The total weight of all the jars of jam that Carlson has is 13 times the total weight of all the jars that Little Man has. Carlson gave Little Man the jar with the smallest weight (from those he had), after which the total weight of his jars turned out to be 8 times the total weight of Little Man's jars.
What is the maximum number of jars of jam that Carlson could have had initially?
|
Answer: 23.
Solution. All variables in the solution will be natural numbers, since the weights of all jars are integers by condition.
Let Little have a total of $n$ pounds of jam initially, then Karlson had $13 n$ pounds of jam. Let Karlson give away his smallest jar with $a$ pounds of jam. Then, by condition, $13 n-a=8(n+a)$, i.e., $5 n=9 a$. Therefore, $9 a$ is divisible by 5, which means $a$ is divisible by 5, i.e., $a=5 k$ for some $k$. Then $5 n=9 \cdot 5 k$, and $n=9 k$. Consequently, initially, Karlson had several jars with a total of $13 \cdot 9 k=117 k$ pounds of jam, with the smallest jar weighing $5 k$ pounds. But then the number of jars Karlson had is no more than $\frac{117 k}{5 k}=23.4$. Therefore, there are no more than 23 jars.
Karlson could have had 23 jars. For example, let him have 1 jar weighing 7 pounds and 22 jars weighing 5 pounds each, and Little have 1 jar weighing 9 pounds. Then all conditions are met: $117=13 \cdot 9$ and $117-5=8 \cdot(9+5)$.

Problem 8.2. The numbers from 1 to 9 were placed in the cells of a $3 \times 3$ table such that the sum of the numbers on one diagonal is 7, and on the other - 21. What is the sum of the numbers in the five shaded cells?

|
Answer: 25.
Solution. Note that 7 can be represented uniquely as the sum of numbers from 1 to 9 - this is $1+2+4=7$.
Let's look at the other diagonal with a sum of 21. The largest possible value of the sum in it is $9+8+4=21$ (since the number in the central cell is no more than 4). Therefore, it must contain the numbers $9,8,4$.
Thus, the number 4 is in the central cell, and the numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 are at the corners. Now it is not difficult to find the sum of the numbers in the shaded cells: $3+4+5+6+7=25$.

- Borya said: "The number of firs is divisible by 11."
- Vера said: "There are definitely fewer than 25 firs."
- Gena said: "I am sure that their number is divisible by 22."
One boy and one girl were right, while the other two were wrong. How many firs grow along the alley?
|
Answer: 11.
Solution. Let $N-$ be the number of elms along the alley.
Suppose Genya told the truth, and $N$ is divisible by 22. But then $N$ is also divisible by 11, i.e., Borya also told the truth. But according to the problem, one of the boys was wrong. Therefore, Genya must have been wrong, but Borya was right. So, $N$ is divisible by 11 but not by 22.
Since 15 is not divisible by 11, Anya must have been wrong. Then Vera told the truth, and $N<25$. But there is exactly one number less than 25 that is divisible by 11 and not by 22, which is 11. It is easy to verify that $N=11$ satisfies all the conditions of the problem.

Problem 8.4. In a class, there are 20 students. Thinking about which girls to send a Valentine's card to on February 14, each boy made a list of all the girls in the class he finds attractive (possibly an empty list). It is known that there do not exist three boys whose lists have the same number of girls. What is the minimum number of girls that can be in the class?
|
Answer: 6.
Solution. Let the number of girls in the class be $d$. According to the condition, there are no three boys whose lists match in the number of girls, so there can be a maximum of 2 empty lists, 2 lists with one girl, 2 lists with two girls, ..., 2 lists with $d$ girls. This means that the number of lists, and thus boys, does not exceed $2(d+1)$.
The total number of children in the class is 20 and does not exceed $2(d+1)+d=3d+2$, from which we get that $d \leqslant 6$.
It is not difficult to understand that this could happen if there were 6 girls and 14 boys in total. Two boys should have empty lists, two others should have 1 girl in their lists, another two should have 2 girls, ..., and the last two should have 6 girls (it does not matter which specific girls are in the lists, what matters is their number). In total, this results in exactly 14 lists.

Problem 8.5. At the ball, ladies and gentlemen arrived - in total less than 50 people. During the first dance, only a quarter of the ladies were not invited to dance, and 2/7 of the total number of gentlemen did not invite anyone. How many people came to the ball? (For the dance, a certain gentleman invites a certain lady.)
|
Answer: 41.
Solution. Let the number of ladies be $n$, and the number of gentlemen be $m$. We will count the number of pairs who danced. On one hand, it is $\frac{3}{4} n$, and on the other hand, $\frac{5}{7} m$. By equating, we find the ratio
$$
\frac{n}{m}=\frac{20}{21}
$$
Since the fraction on the right side is irreducible, we get that $n=20 k$ and $m=21 k$ for some natural number $k$. It remains to note that the total number of people $20 k +$ $21 k=41 k$ is less than 50, so only $k=1$ fits, and the total number of people at the ball is $20+21=41$.

Problem 8.6. For quadrilateral $ABCD$, it is known that $AB=BD, \angle ABD=\angle DBC, \angle BCD=90^{\circ}$. A point $E$ is marked on segment $BC$ such that $AD=DE$. What is the length of segment $BD$, if it is known that $BE=7, EC=5$?

|
Answer: 17.

Fig. 3: to the solution of problem 8.6
Solution. In the isosceles triangle $ABD$, drop a perpendicular from point $D$, let $H$ be its foot (Fig. 3). Since this triangle is acute-angled ($\angle ABD = \angle CBD < 90^\circ$, $\left.\angle BAD = \angle ADB = \frac{180^\circ - \angle ABD}{2} < 90^\circ\right)$, point $H$ lies on the segment $AB$.
Notice that the right triangles $BDH$ and $BDC$ are equal by the common hypotenuse $BD$ and the acute angle at vertex $B$. Therefore, $BH = BC$ and $DH = CD$.
Now, notice that the right triangles $ADH$ and $EDC$ are also equal by the hypotenuse $AD = ED$ and the leg $DH = CD$. Therefore, $EC = AH$.
Thus, $BD = BA = BH + AH = BC + EC = (7 + 5) + 5 = 17$.

p+q+r=5, \quad \frac{1}{p+q}+\frac{1}{q+r}+\frac{1}{p+r}=9
$$
What is the value of the expression
$$
\frac{r}{p+q}+\frac{p}{q+r}+\frac{q}{p+r} ?
$$
|
Answer: 42.
Solution. Multiply the two given equalities, we get
$$
5 \cdot 9=\frac{p+q+r}{p+q}+\frac{p+q+r}{q+r}+\frac{p+q+r}{p+r}=\left(1+\frac{r}{p+q}\right)+\left(1+\frac{p}{q+r}\right)+\left(1+\frac{q}{p+r}\right)
$$
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation, we get
$$
\frac{r}{p+q}+\frac{p}{q+r}+\frac{q}{p+r}=42
$$

Problem 8.8. Masha wrote on the board in ascending order all natural divisors of some number $N$ (the very first divisor written is 1, the largest divisor written is the number $N$ itself). It turned out that the third from the end divisor is 21 times greater than the second from the beginning. What is the largest value that $N$ can take?
|
Answer: 441.
Solution. The second divisor from the beginning is the smallest prime divisor of the number $N$, let's denote it as $p$. The third divisor from the beginning is either $p^{2}$ or the second largest prime divisor of the number $N$, let's denote it as $q$.
Case 1. The third divisor from the beginning is $p^{2}$. Then the third divisor from the end is $\frac{N}{p^{2}}$. According to the problem,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{N}{p^{2}}=21 p \\
& N=21 p^{3}
\end{aligned}
$$
It is clear that 3 and 7 are divisors of the number $N$, so $p \leqslant 3$. If $p=2$, then the third largest divisor of the number $N$ is 3; if $p=3$, then the third largest divisor of the number $N$ is no more than 7, i.e., not $3^{2}$. Contradiction.
Case 2. The third divisor from the beginning is $q$. Then the third divisor from the end is $\frac{N}{q}$. According to the problem,
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{N}{q} & =21 p \\
N & =21 p q
\end{aligned}
$$
It is clear that 3 and 7 are divisors of the number $N$, so $p \leqslant 3, q \leqslant 7$. From this, we get that $N \leqslant 441$. It is not difficult to check that this number satisfies the condition.

Problem 9.3. To 30 palm trees in different parts of an uninhabited island, a sign is nailed.
- On 15 of them, it is written: "Exactly under 15 signs, treasure is buried."
- On 8 of them, it is written: "Exactly under 8 signs, treasure is buried."
- On 4 of them, it is written: "Exactly under 4 signs, treasure is buried."
- On 3 of them, it is written: "Exactly under 3 signs, treasure is buried."
It is known that only the signs under which there is no treasure are true.
Under what minimum number of signs can the treasure be buried?
|
Answer: 15.
Solution. Suppose the treasure is not buried under at least 16 plaques. Then there are two plaques with different inscriptions under which there is no treasure. According to the condition, the inscriptions on both should be true, but they contradict each other. Contradiction.
Therefore, the treasure is not buried under more than 15 plaques. Thus, there are at least 15 plaques under which there is treasure. It is not difficult to come up with a suitable example: let the treasures be buried only under plaques with one of the following three phrases.
- "The treasure is buried under exactly 8 plaques."
- "The treasure is buried under exactly 4 plaques."
- "The treasure is buried under exactly 3 plaques."

Problem 9.5. Buratino has many coins of 5 and 6 soldi, more than 10 of each type. Coming to the store and buying a book for $N$ soldi, he realized that he could not pay for it without receiving change. What is the greatest value that the natural number $N$ can take if it is no more than 50?
|
Answer: 19.
Solution. It is easy to check that with $N=19$ change is necessary.
Notice that numbers from 20 to 24 do not meet the condition, as they can be paid for without change: $N=20=4 \cdot 5, 21=3 \cdot 5+6, 22=2 \cdot 5+2 \cdot 6, 23=5+3 \cdot 6, 24=4 \cdot 6$.
It is clear that then numbers from 25 to 50 also do not meet the condition, as each of them is the sum of one or more terms equal to 5, as well as a number from 20 to 24, which is the sum of terms, each equal to 5 and 6.

Problem 9.6. At a ball, 29 boys and 15 girls arrived. Some boys danced with some girls (no more than once in each pair). After the ball, each person told their parents how many times they danced. What is the maximum number of different numbers the children could have mentioned?
|
Answer: 29.
Solution. The largest possible number that could have been named is 29 (in the case where there is a girl who danced with all the boys), and the smallest is 0. Thus, we have that the number of different numbers named is no more than 30.
We will prove that it cannot be exactly 30. Suppose the opposite, that all numbers from 0 to 29 were named. Then the numbers from 16 to 29 were named only by girls (this is already 14 numbers). The number 0 was definitely not named by a boy, since there is a girl who danced with all the boys. This means that the girls must have named exactly fifteen numbers: 0, 16, 17, 18, ..., 29.
At the same time, the number 15 was not named by any of the girls, since it is already known which numbers they named. If the number 15 was named by a boy, it would mean that he danced with all the girls. But there is a girl who named the number 0, who did not dance with anyone. Contradiction.
Now we will show how 29 different numbers could have been named. Let's number the girls from 1 to 15 and the boys from 1 to 29. Let boy $i$ dance with girl $j$ if and only if $i \geqslant j$.
We can illustrate this example with a $15 \times 29$ table: we will assign a column of the table to each boy and a row to each girl; if a boy danced with a girl, we will color the cell at the intersection of the corresponding row and column. In Fig. 4, above each column is written how many cells are colored in it; to the left of each row is written how many cells are colored in it.

Problem 9.7. In triangle $ABC$, the bisector $AL$ is drawn. Points $E$ and $D$ are marked on segments $AB$ and $BL$ respectively such that $DL = LC$, $ED \parallel AC$. Find the length of segment $ED$, given that $AE = 15$, $AC = 12$.

|
Answer: 3.

Fig. 5: to the solution of problem 9.7
Solution. On the ray $AL$ beyond point $L$, mark a point $X$ such that $XL = LA$ (Fig. 5). Since in the quadrilateral $ACXD$ the diagonals are bisected by their intersection point $L$, it is a parallelogram (in particular, $AC = DX$). Therefore, $DX \parallel AC$. Since $AC \parallel ED$ by the problem's condition, the points $X, D, E$ lie on the same line.
Since $AC \parallel EX$, then $\angle EAX = \angle CAX = \angle AXE$, i.e., triangle $AEX$ is isosceles, $EA = EX$. Then
$$
ED = EX - XD = EA - AC = 15 - 12 = 3

Problem 9.8. How many pairs of natural numbers $a$ and $b$ exist such that $a \geqslant b$ and
$$
\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{6} ?
$$
|
Answer: 5.
Solution. From the condition, it follows that $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b} \leqslant \frac{2}{b}$, from which $b \leqslant 12$. Also, $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}>\frac{1}{b}$, so $b>6$. Therefore, $b$ can take values from 7 to 12 inclusive.
Using $\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{b}=\frac{b-6}{6 b}$, we get
$$
a=\frac{6 b}{b-6}=6+\frac{36}{b-6}
$$
Substitute the possible values of $b$ and check if the number $a$ is natural.
If $b=7$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{7-6}=42$ - fits.
If $b=8$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{8-6}=24$ - fits.
If $b=9$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{9-6}=18$ - fits.
If $b=10$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{10-6}=15$ - fits.
If $b=11$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{11-6}=6+\frac{36}{5}$ - not an integer, does not fit.
If $b=12$, then $a=6+\frac{36}{12-6}=12$ - fits.
It is easy to see that all 5 pairs $(42,7),(24,8),(18,9),(15,10),(12,12)$ are solutions to the original equation.
Another solution. Multiplying the equation by the denominators (since $a$ and $b$ are natural, they can be multiplied and divided), we get
$$
6 a+6 b=a b
$$
This equation can be easily transformed into the following:
$$
(a-6)(b-6)=36
$$
From this, it is clear that the numbers $a-6$ and $b-6$ must be divisors of 36, and natural, because if they were negative integers, the smaller of them would be no more than -6, which is impossible.
The first factor is no less than the second by condition. By considering the possible factorizations
$$
(a-6)(b-6)=36 \cdot 1=18 \cdot 2=12 \cdot 3=9 \cdot 4=6 \cdot 6
$$
we get the same 5 solutions.

Problem 10.1. In each cell of a $5 \times 5$ table, a natural number is written in invisible ink. It is known that the sum of all the numbers is 200, and the sum of three numbers inside any $1 \times 3$ rectangle is 23. What is the central number in the table?

|
Answer: 16.
Solution. Divide the $5 \times 5$ square without the central cell into four $2 \times 3$ rectangles, and each of these into two $1 \times 3$ rectangles.

We get 8 rectangles $1 \times 3$, the sum of the numbers in each of which is 23. Since the sum of all the numbers is 200, we find the number in the central cell as $200 - 23 \cdot 8 = 16$.

Task 10.4. In the central cell of a $21 \times 21$ board, there is a chip. In one move, the chip can be moved to an adjacent cell by side. Alina made 10 moves. How many cells can the chip end up in?
|
Answer: 121.
Solution. We will paint the entire board in a checkerboard pattern so that the central cell of the board is black. With each move of the chip to an adjacent cell, the color of the cell on which the chip is standing will change. After an odd number of moves, the chip will always be on a white cell, and after an even number of moves - on a black cell. Therefore, after 10 moves, the chip will definitely be on a black cell.
We will show that to all black cells that can be reached in no more than 10 moves, it is possible to reach them exactly in 10 moves. Consider an arbitrary black cell $A$ that can be reached in fewer than 10 moves from the center. Since by the time the chip reaches cell $A$, an even number of moves, less than 10, has been made, one can simply move the chip to an adjacent cell and back until exactly 10 moves have been made. Therefore, we need to count the number of black cells that can be reached in no more than 10 moves.
In 0 moves, you can only reach the starting cell, in 2 moves you can reach the starting cell and $4 \cdot 2=8$ new cells, in 4 moves you can reach the cells that have already been reached and $4 \cdot 4=16$ new cells, and so on. We get that the number of cells that can be reached in no more than 10 steps is $1+8+16+24+\ldots+40=$ $1+8(1+2+3+4+5)=121$
Remark. The centers of the cells that can be reached in $k \leqslant 10$ steps form the vertices of a square grid rotated by $45^{\circ}$ (Fig. 6). From this, it is clear that the total number of such cells is $11^{2}$.

Problem 10.7. Oleg has four cards, on each of which natural numbers are written on both sides (a total of 8 numbers are written). He considers all possible quadruples of numbers, where the first number is written on the first card, the second on the second, the third on the third, and the fourth on the fourth. Then, for each quadruple, he writes down the product of the numbers in his notebook. What is the sum of the eight numbers on the cards if the sum of the sixteen numbers in Oleg's notebook is $330 ?$
|
Answer: 21.
Solution. Let the numbers on one card be $a$ and $b$, on another card - $c$ and $d$, on the third card - $e$ and $f$, and on the fourth card - $g$ and $h$. According to the problem, the sum of 16 terms of the form $a c e g + a c e h + \ldots + b d f h$ equals 330. Note that this sum is also obtained by expanding all the brackets in the expression $(a+b)(c+d)(e+f)(g+h)$.
Therefore, $(a+b)(c+d)(e+f)(g+h)=330=2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 11$. Since all numbers are natural, each bracket is greater than 1. Hence, the brackets are equal to the numbers $2, 3, 5$, and 11 in some order. Then their sum is $a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h=2+3+5+11=21$.

Problem 10.8. Rectangle $ABCD$ is such that $AD = 2AB$. Point $M$ is the midpoint of side $AD$. Inside the rectangle, there is a point $K$ such that $\angle AMK = 80^{\circ}$ and ray $KD$ is the bisector of angle $MKC$. How many degrees does angle $KDA$ measure?

|
Answer: 35.
Solution. Let's start with the assumption that the quadrilateral KMDС is inscribed (several proofs of this fact will be proposed below).
Using the fact that in the inscribed quadrilateral $K M D C$ the sum of opposite angles is $180^{\circ}$, we get $\angle M K D=\frac{\angle M K C}{2}=\frac{180^{\circ}-\angle M D C}{2}=45^{\circ}$. The angle $A M K$ as an external angle for triangle $K D M$ is equal to the sum of angles $M K D$ and $K D A$, so the required angle КDA is $80^{\circ}-45^{\circ}=35^{\circ}$.

Fig. 8: to the solution of problem 10.8
Let's provide the first possible proof of the inscribed nature of quadrilateral KMDC. Consider triangle $M K C$ and its circumscribed circle. Note that point $D$ lies on the bisector of angle $M K C$, and is equidistant from vertices $M$ and $C$ (Fig. 8). However, the bisector of an angle of a non-isosceles triangle and the perpendicular bisector of its opposite side, as is known, intersect at the midpoint of the "smaller" arc of the circumscribed circle of the triangle. In other words, $D$ is the midpoint of the arc $M C$ of the circumscribed circle of triangle $M K C$, not containing point $K$. It should also be noted that $M K \neq K C$ (otherwise triangles $K M D$ and $K C D$ would be equal, but $\angle K M D>90^{\circ}>\angle K C D$ ).
Let's provide the second possible proof of the inscribed nature of quadrilateral KMDC. It will use the fourth criterion for the equality of triangles: if two sides and an angle not between them are equal in two triangles, then these triangles are either equal or the sum of the other two angles not between them is $180^{\circ}$. The fourth criterion is satisfied for triangles $M D K$ and $C D K (M D=D C, D K$ - common, $\angle M K D=\angle C K D)$. However, angles $K M D$ and $K C D$ are not equal (again, the first is obtuse, and the second is acute), so their sum is $180^{\circ}$, which are the opposite angles of quadrilateral KMDC. Therefore, it is inscribed.

Problem 11.2. Along a road, 25 poles are standing in a row. Sometimes a goldfinch lands on one of the poles, and immediately a goldfinch flies away from one of the adjacent poles (if there was at least one goldfinch on the adjacent poles at that moment). Also, no more than one goldfinch can sit on each pole.
Initially, there are no birds on the poles. What is the maximum number of goldfinches that can be on the poles at the same time?
|
Answer: 24.
Solution. First, we will show that it is impossible to occupy all the poles. Suppose this happened. Consider the last tit that sat down. Since it occupied the last unoccupied pole, there must have been an occupied pole next to it. Consequently, the tit sitting on that pole must have flown away. Contradiction.
Now, let's provide an example of how the tits could occupy 24 poles. For convenience, let's number all the poles in order. Let the first tit sit on the first pole. Suppose all poles from 1 to $k$ are occupied, where $k \leqslant 23$. We will show how to achieve a situation where all poles from 1 to ( $k+1$ ) are occupied. By sequentially changing $k$ from 1 to 23, we will obtain a situation where the first 24 poles are occupied.
Suppose all poles from 1 to $k$ are occupied, then the next tit sits on the $(k+2)$-th pole (where $k+2 \leqslant 25$), and the next tit after that sits on the $(k+1)$-th pole, and the tit from the $(k+2)$-th pole flies away. We obtain a situation where all poles from 1 to ( $k+1$ ) are occupied.

Problem 11.3. A natural number $n$ is called interesting if $2 n$ is a perfect square, and $15 n$ is a perfect cube. Find the smallest interesting number.
Answer: 1800.
|
Solution. Let's factorize the number $n$ into prime factors. For a number to be a square, it is necessary that in this factorization all prime numbers appear in even powers, and for a number to be a cube, it is necessary that all prime numbers appear in powers divisible by 3.
Let's see what power of two divides $n$. First, this power is odd, since $2 n$ is a perfect square. Second, this power is divisible by 3, since $15 n$ is a perfect cube. Therefore, the minimum power of two is 3.
Now let's see what power of three divides $n$. First, this power is even, since $2 n$ is a perfect square. Second, this power gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, since $15 n$ is a perfect cube. Therefore, the minimum power of three is 2.
Similarly, for five, we get that its minimum power is 2.
Therefore, $n$ is divisible by $2^{3} 3^{2} 5^{2}=1800$, i.e., $n \geqslant 1800$. It is not difficult to check that $n=$ 1800 satisfies all the conditions of the problem.

Problem 11.4. Senya has three straight sticks, each 24 centimeters long. Senya broke one of them into two pieces so that he could form the outline of a right-angled triangle with the two pieces of this stick and the two whole sticks. How many square centimeters is the area of this triangle?
|
Answer: 216.
Solution. Let Senya break one of the sticks into parts of lengths $a$ and $24-a$, which we will call small, while sticks of length 24 will be called large. From four sticks, Senya formed a triangle, so one of the sides consists of two sticks, and the other two sides consist of one stick each.
Let's see which two sticks can be put together. If we put together two small sticks, we get an equilateral triangle, but we need a right triangle. If we put together two large sticks into one side, it will be greater than the sum of the other two sides (which contradicts the triangle inequality). The only remaining option is to combine a large and a small stick, and the other two sides will be just a small stick and a large stick (and these will be the legs, as they are shorter than the first side).

Fig. 9: to the solution of problem 11.4
Thus, the lengths of the sides of the right triangle are $a, 24$, and $48-a$ (Fig. 9). From the Pythagorean theorem, we get $a^{2}+24^{2}=(48-a)^{2}$. Transforming this equation, we find that $a=18$. Therefore, the area of the triangle is $\frac{18 \cdot 24}{2}=216$.

- In response to the question "Are you wearing golden armor?", 44 people answered affirmatively.
- In response to the question "Are you an archer?", 33 people answered affirmatively.
- In response to the question "Is it Monday today?", 22 people answered affirmatively.
How many archers in golden armor came at the voivode's call?
|
Answer: 22.
Solution. To the first question, affirmative answers will be given by archers in gold armor and archers in black armor, that is, all archers.
To the second question, affirmative answers will be given by archers in gold armor and swordsmen in gold armor, that is, all soldiers in gold armor.
To the third question, affirmative answers will be given either by swordsmen in gold armor and archers in black armor (if it is not Monday), or by swordsmen in black armor and archers in gold armor (if it is Monday). In the first case (if it is not Monday), we will sum the number of affirmative answers to all three questions. This will result in double the number of swordsmen in gold armor plus double the number of archers, i.e., an even number, but according to the condition, it equals \(22+33+44=99\) and is odd, which is a contradiction. Therefore, to the third question, affirmative answers were given by swordsmen in black armor and archers in gold armor.
Now, let's sum the number of affirmative answers. This will result in triple the number of archers in gold armor plus the number of all others (once each). Then, if we subtract the total number of soldiers from this number, we get double the number of archers in gold armor, which needs to be divided by two:
\[
\frac{22+33+44-55}{2}=22

Problem 11.6. Inside the cube $A B C D A_{1} B_{1} C_{1} D_{1}$, there is the center $O$ of a sphere with radius 10. The sphere intersects the face $A A_{1} D_{1} D$ along a circle with radius 1, the face $A_{1} B_{1} C_{1} D_{1}$ along a circle with radius 1, and the face $C D D_{1} C_{1}$ along a circle with radius 3. Find the length of the segment $O D_{1}$.

|
Answer: 17.
Solution. Let $\omega$ be the circle that the sphere cuts out on the face $C D D_{1} C_{1}$. From point $O$

Fig. 10: to the solution of problem 11.6
drop a perpendicular $O X$ to this face, then point $X$ is the center of $\omega$ (point $O$ is equidistant from all points of $\omega$, so the projection of $O$ onto the plane of $\omega$ is also equidistant from them). Let $Y$ be an arbitrary point on $\omega$ (Fig. 10). Triangle $OXY$ is a right triangle; by the problem's condition, $X Y=3$ and $O Y=10$. By the Pythagorean theorem, we get $O X^{2}=10^{2}-3^{2}=91$.
Similarly, we find the squares of the distances from point $O$ to the planes $A_{1} B_{1} C_{1} D_{1}$ and $A D D_{1} A_{1}$, which are both equal to $10^{2}-1^{2}=99$.
By the spatial Pythagorean theorem, the square of the length of segment $O D_{1}$ is equal to the sum of the squares of the distances from point $O$ to the three faces containing point $D_{1}$. Therefore, $O D_{1}^{2}=$ $91+99+99=289$, from which $O D_{1}=17$.

Task 11.7. For what least natural $x$ is the expression
$$
\sqrt{29+\sqrt{x}}+\sqrt{29-\sqrt{x}}
$$
an integer?
|
Answer: 400.
Solution. If we square the given expression, we get $58+2 \sqrt{29^{2}-x}$. If the initial expression was an integer, then this number is a perfect square. We need to find the smallest $x$, i.e., we need to make this expression the largest possible perfect square. Notice that $58+2 \sqrt{29^{2}-x}<58+2 \sqrt{29^{2}}=116$. The largest square less than 116 is 100. Solving the equation $58+2 \sqrt{29^{2}-x}=100$, we get $x=400$. It is not difficult to verify that when $x=400$, the original expression is indeed an integer.

1. There were 2013 empty boxes. In one of them, 13 new boxes (not nested inside each other) were placed. Thus, there became 2026 boxes. In one of them, 13 new boxes (not nested inside each other) were placed again, and so on. After several such operations, there became 2013 non-empty boxes. How many boxes are there in total? Answer: 28182.
|
# Solution.
After each operation, the number of non-empty boxes increases by 1. Initially, there were no non-empty boxes. Therefore, a total of 2013 operations were performed. With each operation, 13 new boxes are added. Thus, we have
$2013 + 13 \times 2013 = 2013 \times 14 = 28182$.

5. Around a round table, $2 n(n>5)$ people are sitting - knights and liars. Liars give a false answer to any question, while knights give a true answer. Each of them knows who is a knight and who is a liar. Each of them answered two questions: "Who is your left neighbor?", "Who is your right neighbor?". A wise man, who knows that there are liars at the table but there are fewer of them than knights, was informed of the number of answers "Knight" and the number of answers "Liar", and he accurately named the number of knights. How many answers "Knight" did the wise man receive? Explain your answer.
|
5. Two adjacent knights (R), like two adjacent liars (L), give answers "R" and "R", while adjacent R and L give answers "L" and "L". If the number of L is less than \( n-1 \), then in a group of consecutive R, the outermost R can be replaced by L, and we get the same set of answers with a different number of R. Also, L can be replaced by R if there are at least two L next to each other. Therefore, L is exactly \( n-1 \) and no two of them sit next to each other. Then the arrangement around the table looks either like -R-LR-...-L-RRR-L-, or -R-L-R-...-L-RR-L-...-R-L-RR-L-...-L-. In both cases, we get 4 answers "R".

9.8. A straight rod 2 meters long was sawn into $N$ sticks, the length of each of which is expressed as an integer number of centimeters. For what smallest $N$ can it be guaranteed that, using all the resulting sticks, one can, without breaking them, form the contour of some rectangle?
(A. Magazinov)
|
Answer. $N=102$.
Solution. First solution. Let $N \leqslant 101$. Cut the stick into $N-1$ sticks of 1 cm each and one stick of $(201-N)$ cm. It is impossible to form a rectangle from this set, as each side of the rectangle is less than half the perimeter, and thus the stick of length $201-N \geqslant 100$ cm cannot be part of any side. Therefore, $N \geqslant 102$.
We will show that for $N=102$, the desired rectangle can be found. Note that among all the sticks, there will be two sticks of 1 cm each. Indeed, if this were not the case, the total length of the sticks would be at least $2 \cdot 101 + 1 = 203$ cm, which is incorrect.
Set aside these two sticks. Let the lengths of the remaining sticks be $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{100} \mathrm{~cm}$, then we have $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{100} = 198$. Among the 100 numbers $A_{1}=a_{1}, A_{2}=a_{1}+a_{2}, A_{3}=a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}, \ldots, A_{100}=a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{100}$, there will be two that give the same remainder when divided by 99. Let these be $A_{k}$ and $A_{\ell}, k<\ell$. The number $A_{\ell}-A_{k}$ is strictly greater than zero and strictly less than 198, and it is divisible by 99. Thus, $A_{\ell}-A_{k}=99=a_{k+1}+a_{k+2}+\ldots+a_{\ell}$.
Thus, we have found several sticks with a total length of $99 \mathrm{~cm}$. Set these aside as well. The remaining sticks also have a total length of 99 cm. Therefore, we can form a rectangle of $1 \times 99$ cm.
Second solution. We will provide another proof that for $N=102$, it is possible to form a rectangle.
Let the lengths of the sticks in the set, expressed in centimeters, be $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{102}$. We have $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{102}=200$. Consider a circle of length 200 and divide it into 102 red points, forming arcs of lengths $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{102}$. These points are some 102 vertices of a regular 200-gon $T$ inscribed in this circle. The vertices of $T$ are paired into opposite pairs. There are 100 such pairs, and 102 red points, so among the red points, there will be two pairs of opposite points. These two pairs of points divide the circle into two pairs of equal arcs. Thus, we have divided all the sticks into four groups $A, B, C, D$, where the total lengths in groups $A$ and $C$, as well as in groups $B$ and $D$, are equal. Therefore, it is possible to form a rectangle using each group to form one of its sides.

An example is provided showing that $N \geqslant 102-1$ point. It is proven that $N=102$ works, but its minimality is not justified -5 points.

9.4 In the thirtieth kingdom, there are three types of coins in circulation: bronze rubles, silver coins worth 9 rubles, and gold coins worth 81 rubles. From the treasury, which contains an unlimited supply of each type of coin, a certain amount was issued with 23 coins, which is less than 700 rubles. Find this amount, given that it is impossible to issue it with a smaller number of coins.
|
Solution. Since the issued amount is less than 700 rubles, the number of gold coins is less than $700: 81$, which means no more than 7. Then the number of bronze and silver coins together is at least $23-7=16$. Note that the number of bronze coins cannot exceed 8: otherwise, we can replace 9 bronze coins with 1 silver coin, and the method of issuing the amount would not be unique. Similarly, the number of silver coins is no more than 8. Therefore, there are exactly 8 of each, and 7 gold coins. The issued amount (in rubles) is $8 \cdot 1 + 8 \cdot 9 + 7 \cdot 81 = 647$.

9.5 In some cells of a $10 \times 10$ table, crosses are placed such that each of them is the only one either in its row or in its column. What is the maximum number of crosses that can be in such a table? Justify your answer.
|
Solution. We will place crosses in all cells of the first row and the first column, excluding the top-left cell - a total of 18 crosses. Then each cross in the first row is unique in its column, and each cross in the first column is unique in its row. Therefore, it is possible to place 18 crosses.
We will show that if we place 19 crosses (or more), some cross will not be unique in its row or column. Assume the opposite. We will call rows and columns simply lines. We will assign to each cross the line in which it is unique (if there are two such lines, then any one of them). Then different crosses are assigned different lines; there are 19 crosses and 20 lines, so all lines, except one, are assigned to some cross, meaning they contain exactly one cross. The only unassigned line contains no more than 10 crosses (more cannot fit on it). The total number of pairs cross - line, where the line contains the cross, will be no more than $19+10=29$. But in reality, there are $19 \cdot 2=38$ - a contradiction.

4. On the sides $B C$ and $A D$ of the convex quadrilateral $A B C D$, their midpoints - points $M$ and $N$ respectively - are marked. Segments $M N$ and $A C$ intersect at point $O$, and $M O=O N$. It is known that the area of triangle $A B C$ is 2017. Find the area of quadrilateral $A B C D$.
|
Answer: 4034.
## Solution:
Let $A C$ and $M N$ intersect at point $O$ (see the first figure on the right), $S_{\triangle A B C}=2017=S$.
We will prove that $S_{\triangle A D C}=S_{\triangle A B C}$, then $S_{A B C D}=2 S$.
There are various ways to reason.

First method.
Draw $A M$ and $C N$ (see the first figure). Since $A O$ is the median of triangle $A M N$, then $S_{\triangle А o N}=S_{\triangle А o м}$. Similarly, $S_{\triangle C O N}=S_{\triangle С o м}$.
Therefore, $S_{\triangle A N C}=S_{\triangle A M C}$. Since $A M$ and $C N$ are medians of triangles $A B C$ and $A D C$ respectively, then $S_{\triangle A D C}=2 S_{\triangle A N C}=2 S_{\triangle A M C}=S_{\triangle A B C}=S$.
Second method.
Let $K$ and $L$ be the midpoints of sides $A B$ and $C D$, then $K M L N$ is a parallelogram, so segment $K L$ contains point $O$ (see the second figure).
Since $K L$ is the midline of triangle $A B C$, then $S_{\triangle K O M}=\frac{1}{4} S_{\triangle A B C}=\frac{1}{4} S$.

Similarly, $S_{\triangle N O L}=\frac{1}{4} S_{\triangle A D C}$. Since $S_{\triangle N O L}=S_{\triangle K O M}$, then $S_{\triangle A D C}=S_{\triangle A B C}=S$.
Note that $K M L N$ is the Varignon parallelogram, the area of which is half the area of $A B C D$.
Third method.
We use the fact that in any convex quadrilateral $A B C D$, the midpoints $M$ and $N$ of opposite sides and the midpoints $P$ and $Q$ of the diagonals are the vertices of a parallelogram (see the third figure).
Therefore, the midpoint $O$ of segment $M N$ is also the midpoint of segment $P Q$.
Since in our case point $O$ lies on diagonal $A C$, then the midpoint $Q$ of diagonal $B D$ also lies on $A C$ (see the fourth

figure).
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Then } S_{\triangle A D Q}=S_{\triangle A B Q} \text { and } S_{\triangle C D Q}=S_{\triangle C B Q} \cdot \\
& \text { Therefore, } S_{\triangle A D C}=S_{\triangle A B C}=S .
\end{aligned}
$$

4. In a box, there are balls of seven colors. One tenth of the balls are red, one eighth are orange, and one third are yellow. There are 9 more green balls than red ones, and 10 more blue balls than orange ones. There are 8 blue balls in the box. The remaining balls are purple. What is the smallest possible number of purple balls?
|
Solution. Let the total number of balls be x, and the number of violet balls be y. Then
$$
\frac{x}{10}+\frac{x}{8}+\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{10}+9+\frac{x}{8}+10+8+y=x
$$
From which $47x / 60 + 27 + y = x$, that is, $y = 13x / 60 - 27$, and the smallest value of y is achieved at the smallest value of x. Since y is an integer, x is a multiple of 60. According to the condition, x must be a multiple of 8, so x is divisible by 120. For x = 120, y = -1, which is impossible. For x = 240, y = 25 and this is the smallest possible number of violet balls.
Answer. 25 balls.

Problem 8.1.1. Dima and Seryozha were picking berries from a raspberry bush, on which 900 berries grew. Dima alternated his actions while picking: he put one berry in the basket and ate the next one. Seryozha also alternated: he put two berries in the basket and ate the next one. It is known that Dima picks berries twice as fast as Seryozha. At some point, the boys had picked all the raspberries from the bush.
Who of them ended up putting more berries in the basket? What will the difference be?
|
Answer: Dima, 100 berries more.
Solution. While Dima picks 6 berries, Seryozha manages to pick only 3. At the same time, Dima puts only 3 out of his 6 berries into the basket, while Seryozha puts only 2 out of his 3.
This means that among every 6+3=9 berries picked, Dima puts exactly 3 into the basket, and Seryozha puts exactly 2. Then, Dima will put a total of $\frac{3}{9} \cdot 900=300$ berries into the basket, and Seryozha will put $\frac{2}{9} \cdot 900=200$ berries. Therefore, Dima will put $300-200=100$ more berries into the basket.

|
Answer: 48.
Solution. Since $A D \| B C$, we have $\angle C B D=\angle B D A$. Then triangles $A B D$ and $D C B$ are similar by the first criterion. Therefore, $\frac{64}{B D}=\frac{A D}{B D}=\frac{B D}{B C}=\frac{B D}{36}$, from which we find $B D=\sqrt{64 \cdot 36}=48$.

Problem 8.3.1. As a homework exercise, Tanya was asked to come up with 20 examples of the form $*+*=*$, where $*$ should be replaced with different natural numbers (i.e., a total of 60 different numbers should be used). Tanya loves prime numbers very much, so she decided to use as many of them as possible, while still ensuring the examples are correct. What is the maximum number of prime numbers Tanya can use?
|
# Answer: 41.
Solution. Note that in each example, instead of asterisks, three odd numbers cannot be used, i.e., at least one even number must be used. There is exactly one even prime number, which is 2. Therefore, among the 60 different numbers in the examples, at least 19 even composite numbers will be used, and there can be no more than 41 primes.
As is known, there are infinitely many prime numbers. We will show how examples can be constructed so that exactly 41 prime numbers are involved.
- $2+3=5$ - 3 prime numbers are used;
- $7+11=18$ - 2 prime numbers are used;
- $13+17=30$ - 2 prime numbers are used;
- $19+23=42$ - 2 prime numbers are used;
- in each subsequent example, two consecutive prime numbers are used in the left part.
All 60 numbers in these 20 examples will be different: all odd numbers are different primes, and even numbers, except for 2, are sums that increase when moving from the previous example to the next, and therefore cannot repeat.

Problem 8.4.1. A rectangle was cut into six smaller rectangles, the areas of five of them are marked on the diagram. Find the area of the remaining rectangle.

|
Answer: 101.
Solution. Let's introduce the notation as shown in the figure.

Notice that
$$
2=\frac{40}{20}=\frac{S_{H I L K}}{S_{D E I H}}=\frac{H K \cdot H I}{H D \cdot H I}=\frac{H K}{H D} \quad \text { and } \quad 2=\frac{126}{63}=\frac{S_{A B H G}}{S_{G H K J}}=\frac{B H \cdot G H}{H K \cdot G H}=\frac{B H}{H K}
$$
Therefore, if $H D=x$, then $H K=2 x$, and $B H=4 x$. From this, it follows immediately that $B D=3 x=D K$.

We obtain that the rectangles $B C F D$ and $D F M K$ are equal, as are their areas. Thus,
$$
S_{E F M L}=S_{D F M K}-S_{D E I H}-S_{H I L K}=161-20-40=101

Problem 8.5.1. In the cells of a $12 \times 12$ table, natural numbers are arranged such that the following condition is met: for any number in a non-corner cell, there is an adjacent cell (by side) that contains a smaller number. What is the smallest number of different numbers that can be in the table?
(Non-corner cells are those that are not in the corner of the table. There are exactly 140 of them.)
|
Answer: 11.
Solution. First, let's provide an example with the arrangement of 11 different numbers.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |

| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 |
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 |
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 |
| 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Now, let's prove that in any arrangement satisfying the condition, there are at least 11 different numbers. We will draw arrows between cells: if two adjacent cells contain different numbers, we will draw an arrow from the larger number to the smaller one. By the condition, at least one arrow comes out of each non-corner cell.
Consider the cell in the 6th row and 6th column (one of the four "central" cells). We will construct a directed path starting from it: we will sequentially move from a cell along any of the arrows coming out of it. Since the number of cells in the table is finite, we will either eventually arrive at a cell we have already visited (obviously, this is impossible, as the numbers in the cells of our path are constantly decreasing), or we will arrive at a corner cell. To reach a corner cell, it is necessary to change rows at least 5 times and columns at least 5 times, which means making at least \(5 + 5 = 10\) moves. Therefore, our directed path passes through at least 11 cells, and all the numbers in them are clearly different.

Problem 8.6.1. Even natural numbers $a$ and $b$ are such that $\operatorname{GCD}(a, b) + \operatorname{LCM}(a, b) = 2^{23}$. How many different values can $\operatorname{LCM}(a, b)$ take?
|
Answer: 22.
Solution. Note that LCM $(a, b) \vdots$ GCD $(a, b)$, therefore
$$
2^{23}=\text { GCD }(a, b)+\text { LCM }(a, b) \vdots \text { GCD }(a, b) .
$$
From this, it follows that GCD $(a, b)$ is a natural divisor of the number $2^{23}$.
At the same time, GCD $(a, b) \neq 1$ (since $a$ and $b-$ are even numbers), and GCD $(a, b) \neq 2^{23}$ (since GCD $\left.(a, b)=2^{23}-\operatorname{LCM}(a, b)<2^{23}\right)$. Thus, GCD $(a, b)$ takes one of the values $2,2^{2}, 2^{3}, \ldots, 2^{22}$.
Note that all these values are possible: to make GCD $(a, b)$ equal to $2^{k}$ for $1 \leqslant k \leqslant 22$, it is sufficient to choose $a=2^{k}$ and $b=2^{23}-2^{k}$. In this case, $b \vdots a$, so GCD $(a, b)=a$ and LCM $(a, b)=b$, that is, GCD $(a, b)+$ LCM $(a, b)=a+b=2^{23}$.

Problem 8.8.1. Different positive numbers $a, b, c$ are such that
$$
\left\{\begin{array}{l}
a^{2}+b c=115 \\
b^{2}+a c=127 \\
c^{2}+a b=115
\end{array}\right.
$$
Find $a+b+c$.
|
Answer: 22.
Solution. Subtract the third equation from the first and transform:
$$
\begin{gathered}
\left(a^{2}+b c\right)-\left(c^{2}+a b\right)=0 \\
a^{2}-c^{2}+b c-a b=0 \\
(a-c)(a+c)+b(c-a)=0 \\
(a-c)(a+c-b)=0
\end{gathered}
$$
By the condition $a \neq c$, therefore $b=a+c$. Now add the first two equations:
$$
\begin{gathered}
\left(a^{2}+b c\right)+\left(b^{2}+a c\right)=115+127 \\
\left(a^{2}+b c\right)+\left(b^{2}+a c\right)=242
\end{gathered}
$$
Substitute $b=a+c$ into the resulting equation:
$$
\begin{aligned}
242 & =a^{2}+b c+b^{2}+a c=a^{2}+(a+c) c+(a+c)^{2}+a c= \\
& =a^{2}+a c+c^{2}+(a+c)^{2}+a c=2(a+c)^{2}
\end{aligned}
$$
from which $(a+c)^{2}=121$. Since the numbers $a$ and $c$ are positive and $b=a+c$, we get that $a+c=11$ and $a+b+c=22$.

11.9. In a class, there are $m$ students. During September, each of them went to the swimming pool several times; no one went twice on the same day. On October 1st, it turned out that all the numbers of swimming pool visits by the students were different. Moreover, for any two of them, there was definitely a day when the first one was at the pool and the second one was not, and a day when, conversely, the second one was at the pool and the first one was not. Find the maximum possible value of $m$. (September has 30 days.)
|
Answer. $m=28$.
Solution. For each natural $n$, let $X_{n}=$ $=\{1,2, \ldots, n\}$. To each student, we associate the set of all days when he went to the pool (this will be a subset of $X_{30}$). Thus, we have obtained a set of $m$ (according to the condition, non-empty) subsets of $X_{30}$. The condition is equivalent to the fact that all subsets have different numbers of elements, and none of them is contained in another; we will call such a set of subsets $x o r o-$ good. Thus, we need to find the maximum number of sets in a good family of subsets of $X_{30}$.
First, let's prove that such a set cannot contain more than 28 sets. This is obvious if the set contains a 30-element subset, since it contains any other. Therefore, we can assume that the sets in the set can consist only of $1,2, \ldots, 29$ elements (and there are no more than 29 of them). Suppose that in a good set there is a 29-element set $A$ and a 1-element set $B$. Since $B$ is not contained in $A$, they do not intersect. Then any other subset in $X_{30}$ either contains $B$ or is contained in $A$. Therefore, in this case, the good set consists only of two subsets. Finally, if the set does not contain a 1 or 29-element subset, then it already contains no more than 28 sets, which is what we needed.
It remains to provide an example of a good set of 28 subsets in $X_{30}$. For this, we will show by induction on $k \geqslant 2$ that there exists a good set $A_{1}, A_{2}, \ldots, A_{2 k-2}$ of subsets in $X_{2 k}$, and $A_{i}$ contains $i+1$ elements. In the base case $k=2$, the subsets $A_{1}=\{1,2\}$ and $A_{2}=\{1,3,4\}$ work.
Suppose that for some $k$ a required good set $B_{1}, \ldots, B_{2 k-2}$ of subsets in $X_{2 k}$ has already been constructed. Then the required good set of subsets in $X_{2 k+2}$ can be constructed as follows. Let $A_{i+1}=B_{i} \cup\{2 k+2\}$ for $i=1,2, \ldots, 2 k-2$; these sets contain $3,4, \ldots, 2 k$ elements, respectively. Finally, let $A_{1}=\{2 k+1,2 k+2\}$ and $A_{2 k}=\{1,2, \ldots, 2 k+1\}$. It is not difficult to check that they form the required good set. Thus, the induction step is proved.
Remark. The arguments in the second paragraph of the solution show that in a good set of subsets in $X_{n}$ there are no more than $n-2$ sets if $n \geqslant 4$. On the other hand, acting similarly to the second half of the solution, one can construct a good set of $2 k-1$ subsets in $X_{2 k+1}$ for $k \geqslant 1$; the base of induction is provided by the subset $A_{1}=\{1,2\}$.
One can also arrange a direct induction transition that allows constructing a good set of $n-1$ subsets in $X_{n+1}$ from a good set of $n-2$ subsets in $X_{n}$ (for $n \geqslant 5$). For such a transition, the following consideration is useful: if you take the complements of all sets of a good set, you will also get a good set.

1. Variant 1. Given two natural numbers. One number was increased by 3, and the other was decreased by 3. As a result, their product increased by 600. By how much will the product decrease if the opposite is done: the first number is decreased by 3, and the second is increased by 3?
|
Answer: 618.
Solution: Let these numbers be $a$ and $b$. Then, according to the condition, $(a-3)(b+3)-ab=600$. Expanding the brackets: $ab+3a-3b-9-ab=600$, so $a-b=203$. We need to find the difference $ab-(a+3)(b-3)=$ $ab-ab+3a-3b+9=3(a-b)+9=3 \cdot 203+9=618$.

2. Variant 1. At the intersection of perpendicular roads, a highway from Moscow to Kazan and a road from Vladimir to Ryazan intersect. Dima and Tolya set out with constant speeds from Moscow to Kazan and from Vladimir to Ryazan, respectively. When Dima passed the intersection, Tolya had 900 meters left to reach it. When Tolya passed the intersection, Dima was 600 meters away from it. How many meters will be between the boys when Tolya has traveled 900 meters from the moment he crossed the intersection?
|
Answer: 1500.
Solution: When Tolya has traveled 900 meters, Dima will have traveled 600 meters, so at the moment when Tolya is 900 meters from the intersection, Dima will be 1200 meters from the intersection. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the boys is 1500 meters.

After 1000 steps, the ant is at point B. Find the distance between points A and B in centimeters in a straight line. In the answer, write the square of the found distance.
|
Answer: 605000.
Solution. Let's divide 1000 steps into quartets. After each quartet, the ant will move southeast relative to its current position, by a distance equal to the diagonal of a square with side 2.2, i.e., $\sqrt{2.2^{2}+2.2^{2}}=\sqrt{9.68}$. After 250 such quartets, the ant will be at a distance of $250 \cdot \sqrt{9.68}$ from point A. The square of this distance is $250^{2} \cdot 9.68=605000$.

# 5. Option 1.
It is known that the equations $x^{2}+(2 a-5) x+a^{2}+1=0$ and $x^{3}+(2 a-5) x^{2}+\left(a^{2}+1\right) x+a^{2}-4=0$ have common roots. Find the sum of these roots.
|
Answer: 9.
Solution. The left side of the second equation is obtained from the left side of the first equation by multiplying by $x$ and adding the expression $a^{2}-4$. Therefore, $a^{2}-4=0$, from which $a=2$ or $a=-2$. If $a=2$, then the first equation has no roots. Therefore, $a=-2$, and then we get that the first equation is of the form: $x^{2}-9 x+5=0$. By Vieta's theorem, we find that the desired sum is 9.

Note that among the numbers from 12 to 60, there are 24 odd numbers, and among the numbers from 15 to 40, there are 13 odd numbers. Therefore, there will be $24 \cdot 13$ odd products in the table. The remaining $49 \cdot 26-24 \cdot 13=962$ will be even.

|
Answer: $74^{\circ}$.
Solution.

By the property of the angle bisector, $\frac{A C}{C L}=\frac{A B}{B L}=\frac{2}{1}$, so $A C=2 C L$. Since $M$ is the midpoint of $A C$, then $A M=$ $M C=C L$. In the isosceles triangle $C M L$, the angle $C$ is $180^{\circ}-2 \angle C M L=180^{\circ}-2\left(180^{\circ}-\right.$ $\angle L M A)=2 \angle L M A-180^{\circ}=74^{\circ}$.

5. For the Day of the Russian Flag, the seller decided to decorate the store window with 10 horizontal strips of fabric in three colors. At the same time, he follows two conditions:
1) strips of the same color should not hang next to each other;
2) each blue strip must hang between a white and a red one.
In how many ways can he do this?
|
5. Let's call the white and red strips of fabric green. Denote by $T_{n}$ the number of ways to decorate the shop window with $n$ strips of fabric. The first strip can only be a green strip. If the second strip is blue, then the following strips must be such that the first one is green. The total number of ways to hang the strips in this manner will be $T_{n-2}$. If the second strip is also green, then together with it, there will be $n-1$ remaining strips, which can be hung in $T_{n-1}$ ways. Thus, we get:
$$
T_{n}=T_{n-1}+T_{n-2}(*)
$$
Obviously, for $n=1$, $T_{1}=2$ (one strip can be either white or red), and for $n=2$, $T_{2}=2$ (two strips can be either white and red or red and white). Then all subsequent $T_{n}$ are found using the formula (*):
$$
\begin{gathered}
T_{3}=T_{2}+T_{1}=2+2=4, T_{4}=T_{3}+T_{2}=4+2=6, T_{5}=T_{4}+T_{3}=6+4=10, \\
T_{6}=T_{5}+T_{4}=10+6=16, T_{7}=T_{6}+T_{5}=16+10=26, T_{8}=T_{7}+T_{6}=26+16=42, \\
T_{9}=T_{8}+T_{7}=42+26=68, T_{10}=T_{9}+T_{8}=68+42=110 .

9.7. On the board, 99 numbers were written, none of which are equal. In a notebook, $\frac{99 \cdot 98}{2}$ numbers were written—all differences between two numbers from the board (each time subtracting the smaller number from the larger one). It turned out that the number 1 was written exactly 85 times in the notebook. Let $d$ be the largest number written in the notebook. Find the smallest possible value of $d$.
(L. Samoilov)
|
Answer. $d=7$.
Solution. We will prove that $d \geqslant 7$. All numbers on the board can be divided into chains of numbers of the form $a, a+1, a+2, \ldots, a+t$ such that numbers from different chains do not differ by exactly 1. Such a partition is not difficult to construct by connecting any two numbers that differ by 1 with a segment and considering the resulting broken lines.
Let there be $k$ chains, in which there are $n_{1}, n_{2}, \ldots, n_{k}$ numbers respectively (some chains may consist of a single number). In a chain of $n_{i}$ numbers, there are exactly $n_{i}-1$ pairs of numbers that differ by 1. Therefore, the total number of ones in the notebook is
\[
\left(n_{1}-1\right)+\left(n_{2}-1\right)+\ldots+\left(n_{k}-1\right)=\left(n_{1}+n_{2}+\ldots+n_{k}\right)-k=99-k,
\]
from which $k=99-85=14$. Thus, in one of the chains, there are at least 99/14 numbers, that is, at least 8 numbers. The difference between the largest and smallest numbers in such a chain is at least $8-1=7$.
It remains to provide an example where $d=7$. Such an example is given, for example, by the numbers
\[
0=\frac{0}{14}, \frac{1}{14}, \frac{2}{14}, \ldots, \frac{98}{14}=7
\]
Indeed, in this example, $d=7$, and exactly the first 85 of these numbers in the set have a number that is one greater.
Remark. The provided example is not the only one. All possible optimal examples are structured such that there is exactly one chain of 8 numbers (from $a$ to $a+7$), and 13 chains, each of 7 numbers; all numbers of these other chains must be located between $a$ and $a+7$.
Comment. Only the answer - 0 points.
Providing only an example with $d=7$ that satisfies the conditions of the problem - 2 points.
Providing only the estimate showing that $d \geqslant 7$ - 5 points.
The statement that all numbers can be divided into chains, in each of which the numbers differ by 1 (and the differences between numbers from different chains are not equal to 1) is accepted without proof. The statement that in a chain of $n_{i}$ numbers there are no more than $n_{i}-1$ unit differences is also accepted without proof.

9.9. Find the largest number $m$ such that for any positive numbers $a, b$, and $c$, the sum of which is 1, the inequality
$$
\sqrt{\frac{a b}{c+a b}}+\sqrt{\frac{b c}{a+b c}}+\sqrt{\frac{c a}{b+c a}} \geqslant m
$$
holds.
(l. Emelyanov)
|
Answer. $m=1$.
First solution. First, we prove that $m=1$ satisfies the requirements of the problem. Notice that $ab + c = ab + c(a + b + c) = (c + a)(c + b)$. Therefore,
\[
\begin{aligned}
& \sqrt{\frac{ab}{c + ab}} + \sqrt{\frac{bc}{a + bc}} + \sqrt{\frac{ca}{b + ca}} = \\
& = \sqrt{\frac{ab}{(c + a)(c + b)}} + \sqrt{\frac{bc}{(a + b)(a + c)}} + \sqrt{\frac{ca}{(b + c)(b + a)}} = \\
& = \frac{\sqrt{ab} \sqrt{a + b} + \sqrt{bc} \sqrt{b + c} + \sqrt{ca} \sqrt{c + a}}{\sqrt{(a + b)(b + c)(c + a)}}.
\end{aligned}
\]
Thus, it remains to prove the inequality
\[
\sqrt{ab} \sqrt{a + b} + \sqrt{bc} \sqrt{b + c} + \sqrt{ca} \sqrt{c + a} \geq \sqrt{(a + b)(b + c)(c + a)}
\]
Square this inequality; it will take the form
\[
\begin{gathered}
ab(a + b) + bc(b + c) + ca(c + a) + 2 \sqrt{ab^2 c(a + b)(b + c)} + \\
+ 2 \sqrt{bc^2 a(b + c)(c + a)} + 2 \sqrt{ca^2 b(c + a)(a + b)} \geq \\
\geq a^2 b + ab^2 + a^2 c + ac^2 + b^2 c + bc^2 + 2abc
\end{gathered}
\]
After simplification, the left side will remain the sum of the square roots, and the right side will be $2abc$. But any of the square roots is not less than $abc$; indeed, for example, $\sqrt{ab^2 c(a + b)(b + c)} \geq \sqrt{ab^2 c \cdot ac} = abc$. This is where the required inequality follows.
It remains to prove that for any $m > 1$, the inequality is not always satisfied; it is sufficient to show this for $1a \geq \frac{1}{3}$, so the inequality is not always satisfied - 2 points.
Proving only that $m=1$ satisfies the requirements of the problem - 5 points.

8.5. Snow White entered a room where 30 chairs were arranged around a round table. Some of the chairs were occupied by dwarfs. It turned out that Snow White could not sit down without having someone next to her. What is the minimum number of dwarfs that could have been at the table? Explain how the dwarfs should have been seated.
|
Answer: 10.
Solution: If there were three consecutive empty chairs at the table in some place, Snow White could sit down in such a way that no one would sit next to her. Therefore, in any set of three consecutive chairs, at least one must be occupied by a dwarf. Since there are 30 chairs in total, there cannot be fewer than 10 dwarfs. We will show that it is possible to seat 10 dwarfs in such a way that the condition of the problem is satisfied: we will seat the dwarfs every three chairs: on the first chair, on the fourth chair, on the seventh chair, and so on. Then the condition of the problem will be met.

4. Let $p(x)=2 x^{3}-3 x^{2}+1$. How many squares of integers are among the numbers $p(1), p(2), \ldots, p(2016)$?
|
# Answer: 32.
## Solution:
Notice that $p(x)=(x-1)^{2}(2 x+1)$.
For an integer $x(1 \leq x \leq 2016)$, the number $p(x)=(x-1)^{2}(2 x+1)$ is a perfect square of an integer either when $x=1(p(1)=0)$, or (for $x \geq 2$) when the number $2 x+1$ is a perfect square.
Note that for $x \geq 2$, the inequality holds: $5 \leq 2 x+1 \leq 4033$, and also that $2 x+1$ is odd.
Such squares are the numbers 9 (for $x=4$), 25 (for $x=12$), 49 (for $x=24$), and so on up to $63^{2}=3969$ (for $x=1984$) - that is, we have considered the squares of odd numbers from $3^{2}$ to $63^{2}$ (a total of 31). Together with the previously found square at $x=1$, we get 32 perfect squares among the numbers of the specified form.

| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 0 | 110 | 1111 | 100 | 101 | 11100 | 11101 |
The word will look like this:
10101010100010001100110111001110111110 - a total of 38 characters. Decoding is unambiguous. To verify this, start from the left edge. The far left can only be the code 101, as no other code starts with the same combination of symbols. Next, similarly, as no code starts with a combination of symbols that matches any other code.
## Comment:
A uniform code (3 symbols per letter) gives 45 characters. Therefore, it is necessary to use codes of variable length for different letters. The more frequently a letter appears, the shorter its code should be. This consideration can help with verification. Be careful.
Participants can justify the unambiguousness of decoding not by sequentially examining the code sequence (from left to right), but by referring to a correct fact about such codes. The given code is an example of a prefix code - the code of any letter is not the beginning of the code of any other letter (Fano's condition), and for it, the theorem of unambiguous decoding is true. A reference to the corresponding theorem can be counted as justification (naturally, provided that it is correctly formulated).
## Instructions for Checking:
Score - either 0 if the answer is incorrect or the code table does not give the desired result, or 4 points if the codes are correct but there is no justification for the unambiguousness of decoding, or 7 points.

7.3. In the train, there are 18 identical cars. In some cars, exactly half of the seats are free, in some others - exactly one third of the seats are free, and in the rest, all seats are occupied. At the same time, in the entire train, exactly one ninth of all seats are free. In how many cars are all seats occupied?
|
Answer: in 13 carriages.
Solution. Let the number of passengers in each carriage be taken as a unit. We can reason in different ways.
First method. Since exactly one ninth of all seats in the train are free, this is equivalent to two carriages being completely free. The number 2 can be uniquely decomposed into the sum of thirds and halves: $2=3 \cdot \frac{1}{3}+2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}$. This means that there are free seats in five carriages, so in 13 carriages all seats are occupied.
Second method. Let $x$ be the number of carriages where half of the seats are free, and $y$ be the number of carriages where a third of the seats are free. Then $x \cdot \frac{1}{2}+y \cdot \frac{1}{3}=18 \cdot \frac{1}{9}$. Eliminating the denominators of the fractions, we get: $3 x+2 y=12$. Since $x$ and $y$ are natural numbers, by trial and error, we find that $x=2, y=3$. Therefore, the required number of carriages is: $18-2-3=13$.
Natural solutions to the equation $3 x+2 y=12$ can also be found from considerations of divisibility if one variable is expressed in terms of the other.

7.4. In grandmother's garden, apples have ripened: Antonovka, Grushovka, and White Naliv. If there were three times as many Antonovka apples, the total number of apples would increase by $70 \%$. If there were three times as many Grushovka apples, it would increase by $50 \%$. By what percentage would the total number of apples change if there were three times as many White Naliv apples?
|
Answer: increased by $80 \%$.
Solution. First method. If the amount of each type of apple were three times as much, the total number of apples would increase by $200 \%$. Of this, $70 \%$ is due to the increase in Antonovka, and $50 \%$ is due to the increase in Grushovka. Therefore, the increase due to White Naliv would be $200 \%-70 \%-50 \%=80 \%$.
Second method. Since adding twice the amount of Antonovka results in a $70 \%$ increase, Antonovka makes up 0.35 of all apples. Similarly, Grushovka makes up 0.25 of all apples. Therefore, the share of White Naliv is 0.4. If you add 0.4 twice to a number, the number will increase by $80 \%$.

7.6. In each cell of a $5 \times 5$ square, exactly one diagonal has been drawn. A vertex of a cell is free if it is not the endpoint of any of the drawn diagonals. Find the maximum possible number of free vertices.
|
Answer: 18 vertices.
Solution. Example. See Fig. 7.6a. On each of the six horizontal lines, three vertices are free.
Estimate. The total number of cell vertices: $6 \cdot 6=36$. Let's select nine cells that do not share any vertices (see Fig. 7.6b). They contain all 36 vertices. In each cell, a diagonal is drawn, so in each cell, two

vertices are not free. Therefore, at least 18 vertices are used, so no more than $36-18=18$ can be free.

3. On Eeyore's Birthday, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and Owl came to visit. When Owl left, the average age in this company decreased by 2 years, and when Piglet left, the average age decreased by another 1 year. How many years older is Owl than Piglet?
Answer: Owl is 6 years older than Piglet.
|
Solution. Let the average age of those who remained after Piglet be x, and Piglet's age be y. Then $2x + y = 3(x + 1)$, which means $y = x + 3$. Let Owl's age be K. Then $3(x + 1) + K = 4(x + 3)$, which means $K = x + 9$. Therefore, Owl is older than Piglet by $(x + 9) - (x + 3) = 6$ years.
Criteria. If the solution is incorrect - 0 points.
If the reasoning is correct but there is a computational error - 3 points. If the solution is correct - 7 points.

6.3. In the park, all bicycle paths run from north to south or from west to east. Petya and Kolya simultaneously started from point $A$ and rode their bicycles at constant speeds: Petya - along the route $A-B-C$, Kolya - along the route $A-D-E-F-C$ (see fig.), and both spent 12 minutes on the road. It is known that Kolya rides 1.2 times faster than Petya. How much time did he spend on the segment $D E$? The scale in the figure is not preserved.

|
Answer: 1 minute.
Solution. Draw the segment $D H$, as shown in Fig. 2. Kolya travels 1.2 times faster than Petya, so it would take him $12 / 1.2=10$ minutes to travel the route $A-B-C$. The difference in time

Fig. 2 $12-10=2$ minutes - this is the time spent moving down the segment $D E$ and moving up the segment $F H$. From the equality $D E=F H$, it follows that Petya will take 1 minute to cover the distance $D E$.
Comment. A correct answer without justification - 2 points.

6.5. Around a round table, 12 people sat down, some of them are knights, and the rest are liars (knights always tell the truth, while liars always lie). Then each of them said: "Among my neighbors, there is a liar." What is the maximum number of people sitting at the table who can say: "Among my neighbors, there is a knight"?
|
# Answer: 8.
Solution. Note that two liars cannot sit next to each other (otherwise, each of them would be telling the truth). Therefore, no liar can say the second phrase.
On the other hand, 3 knights also cannot sit next to each other (otherwise, the middle one would have lied by saying that he has a neighbor who is a liar). Therefore, among any three sitting next to each other, there is a liar, meaning that no more than two of them can say the second phrase. By dividing the people sitting into four groups of three sitting next to each other, we get that no more than \(4 \cdot 2 = 8\) people could have said the second phrase.
Exactly 8 (knights) of those sitting at the table could have said the required phrase if the people at the table are seated in the following order: LRR LRR LRR LRR.
Remark. For a knight to say the second phrase, he must sit next to another knight. From this, it is not difficult to see that the optimal example is unique (up to rotation of the table).
Comment. Noted that 3 knights cannot sit next to each other - 1 point.
Noted that 2 liars cannot sit next to each other - 1 point.
Shown that the number of people who said the required phrase is no more than \(8 - 3\) points.
Provided an example showing that exactly 8 of those sitting at the table could have said the required phrase - 2 points.

1. Five consecutive natural numbers were written on the board, and then one number was erased. It turned out that the sum of the remaining four numbers is 2015. Find the smallest of these four numbers.
|
Answer: 502
Solution. If the smallest number is K, then the sum of all numbers is not less than $\mathrm{K}+(\mathrm{K}+1)+(\mathrm{K}+2)+ (\mathrm{K}+3)=4 \mathrm{~K}+6$ and not more than $\mathrm{K}+(\mathrm{K}+2)+(\mathrm{K}+3)+(\mathrm{K}+4)=4 \mathrm{~K}+9$. Therefore, $4 \mathrm{~K}+6 \leq 2015 \leq 4 \mathrm{~K}+9$, from which $\mathrm{K}=502$.
