8.2. In a cinema, five friends took seats numbered 1 to 5 (the leftmost seat is number 1). During the movie, Anya left to get popcorn. When she returned, she found that Varya had moved three seats to the right, Galia had moved one seat to the left, and Diana and Elia had swapped places, leaving the edge seat for Anya. Which seat did Anya occupy before she stood up?
Answer: 3 Solution. Let's see how the seat number changed for everyone except Anya. Varya's seat number increased by 3, Galia's decreased by 1, and the sum of Diana's and Eli's seat numbers did not change. At the same time, the total sum of the seat numbers did not change, so Anya's seat number must have decreased by 2. But then the seat left for her cannot be seat 5 (since there is no seat 6), so the seat left for her must be seat 1, and initially, she had seat 3.

9.4. To the number $A$, consisting of eight non-zero digits, a seven-digit number, consisting of identical digits, was added, and the eight-digit number $B$ was obtained. It turned out that the number $B$ can be obtained from the number $A$ by rearranging some of the digits. What digit can the number $A$ start with if the last digit of the number $B$ is 5?
Answer: 5. Solution: Since the numbers $A$ and $B$ have the same sum of digits, their difference is divisible by 9. Therefore, the added seven-digit number with identical digits is divisible by 9. This means it consists of nines. That is, we can consider that $10^7$ was added to the number $A$ and 1 was subtracted. This means that the number $B$ is obtained from the number $A$ by increasing the first digit by 1 and decreasing the last digit by 1 (since there are no zeros in $A$ and $B$ is eight-digit), while the other digits remain unchanged. Since the number $B$ can be obtained from the number $A$ by permuting some digits, the last digit of the number $B$ coincides with the first digit of the number $A$ (and vice versa). Therefore, the number $A$ can only start with the digit 5. Comment: It is proven that the added number consists of nines - 2 points. Answer obtained by considering an example - 1 point.

9.5. On a checkerboard of size $8 \times 8$, 8 checkerboard ships of size $1 \times 3$ are placed such that no two cells occupied by different ships share any points. One shot is allowed to pierce all 8 cells of one row or one column. What is the minimum number of shots needed to guarantee hitting at least one ship?
Answer: 2 shots. Solution. We will make 2 shots as shown in Fig. 5. Suppose we did not hit any ship. Then there are no ships in area 1. In each of areas 2 and 3, there is no more than 1 ship. Therefore, there are at least 6 ships in area 4. Area 4 is a $5 \times 5$ square. Then in this area, horizontally placed ships cannot lie in adjacent rows, and vertically placed ships cannot lie in adjacent columns. Therefore, in this area, there are 3 "vertical" and 3 "horizontal" ships, and one of them lies ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_754265878a272b0ed3b4g-2.jpg?height=426&width=417&top_left_y=1055&top_left_x=1439) Fig. 5 in the central row, and another in the central column of the area. But then both of these ships contain the central cell of the area. Contradiction. Therefore, at least one ship is hit. We will show that if only one shot is made, it is possible not to hit any ship. Suppose the shot was made in some row. Note that in one row, two ships can be placed. Then if the shot was made in a row with an odd number, two ships could stand in rows with numbers $2, 4, 6$, and 8. If the shot was made in a row with an even number, two ships could stand in rows with numbers $1, 3, 5$, and 7. Remark. It can be shown that even 5 ships cannot be placed in area 4. Comment. Only shown how to wound a ship with 2 shots - 4 points. Only proven that 1 shot may not be enough - 2 points. A correct example of two shots is given, but it is not explained why at least one ship will be hit - 1 point (instead of 4 points for the first criterion).

1. From Central Square to the station, there is a straight street divided by 11 intersections into 12 equal blocks. At each intersection, there is a traffic light. All traffic lights simultaneously turn green for 3 minutes, then red for 1 minute. It takes the bus two minutes to travel one block (from intersection to intersection), while a car takes one minute to travel one block. The bus and the car start from the square at the same time, at which moment all traffic lights turn green. Which vehicle will arrive at the station first, and how many minutes earlier?
Solution. A car will travel three blocks without obstacles in the first three minutes. Upon approaching the intersection separating the third and fourth blocks, the car will stop at the traffic light for 1 minute. Thus, to travel three blocks and start moving on the fourth block, the car will need four minutes. The car's movement will then repeat, and it will leave the ninth block along with the intersection after 12 minutes. The next three blocks will be traveled in 3 minutes, and since there is no traffic light after the twelfth block, it will arrive at the station 15 minutes after leaving the square. The bus will travel the first block, the first intersection, and the second block without stopping and will approach the second intersection at the moment when the red light changes to green. Therefore, at the beginning of the third block, the same situation will occur as at the beginning of the first block - the bus starts moving on the third block when the traffic light turns green. It will then pass all intersections without stopping at traffic lights again. The bus's travel time is 24 minutes. Thus, the car will arrive 9 minutes earlier. Answer. The car will arrive first, overtaking the bus by 9 minutes.

1. The head of the fish weighs as much as the tail and half of the body, the body weighs as much as the head and the tail together. The tail weighs 1 kg. How much does the fish weigh?
Answer: 8 kg. Solution 1. The body weighs as much as the head and tail, i.e., two tails and half the body. This means that half the body weighs as much as two tails, i.e., the body weighs 4 kg. Then the head weighs $1+2=3$ kg, and the whole fish weighs $4+3+1=8$ kg. Solution 2. Let $\Gamma, T, X$ be the weight of the head, body, and tail, respectively. Then, according to the condition, $\Gamma=T / 2+X, T=\Gamma+X$. From this, $\Gamma=(\Gamma+X) / 2+X$, i.e., $\Gamma=3 X$. Therefore, the fish weighs $\Gamma+T+X=3 X+(3 X+X)+X=8 X=8$ kg.

1. Answer: 3. Solution. Transform the expression $\frac{z}{x}+\frac{y}{z}-\frac{x}{y}+\frac{x}{z}+\frac{z}{y}-\frac{y}{x}=$ $=\frac{z}{x}-\frac{y}{x}+\frac{z}{y}-\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{z}+\frac{x}{z}=\frac{z-y}{x}+\frac{z-x}{y}+\frac{y+x}{z}$. Using the condition $x+y=z$ and the derived formulas $y=z-x$ and $x=$ $z-y$, we get: $\frac{z-y}{x}+\frac{z-x}{y}+\frac{y+x}{z}=\frac{x}{x}+\frac{y}{y}+\frac{z}{z}=3$.

Answer: -1. Solution. The given equality can be written as $\frac{a}{b}-\frac{b}{a}=b-a$, from which $\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a b}=b-a$ or $\frac{(a-b)(a+b)}{a b}=b-a$. Since the numbers $a$ and $b$ are different, we can divide both sides of the equation by $a-b$, after which we get: $\frac{a+b}{a b}=-1$.

Problem 3. During a math test, Oleg was supposed to divide a given number by 2, and then add 6 to the result. But he hurried and instead multiplied the given number by 2, and then subtracted 6 from the result. Nevertheless, he got the correct answer. What number was given to Oleg
Answer: 8. Solution. Since Oleg multiplied the number by 2 instead of dividing it, he got a result that is four times greater than the required one. This means that the difference between these two results is three times greater than the required result. However, according to the condition, this difference is equal to $6+6=12$. Therefore, the required result is $12: 3=4$. Then the guessed number is $4 \cdot 2=8$.

Problem 6. In the kingdom, there live counts, dukes, and marquises. One day, each count dueled with three dukes and several marquises. Each duke dueled with two counts and six marquises. Each marquise dueled with three dukes and two counts. It is known that all counts dueled with an equal number of marquises. How many marquises did each count duel with?
Answer: With 6 marquises. Solution. Let there be $x$ counts, $y$ dukes, and $z$ marquises in the kingdom. Each count fought with three dukes, so there were $3 x$ duels between counts and dukes. But each duke fought with two counts, meaning there were $2 y$ such duels. Therefore, $3 x=2 y$. Each duke fought with six marquises. Thus, there were $6 y$ duels between dukes and marquises. Each marquis fought with three dukes, so there were $3 z$ such duels. Therefore, $6 y=3 z$, from which $z=2 y=3 x$. Each marquis fought with two counts, so there were $2 z=6 x$ duels between counts and marquises. Therefore, each count fought with six marquises.

Problem 7. On an island, there live knights who always tell the truth, and liars who always lie. One day, 15 natives, among whom were both knights and liars, stood in a circle, and each said: "Of the two people standing opposite me, one is a knight, and the other is a liar." How many of them are knights?
Answer: 10 knights. Solution. Consider any knight. He tells the truth, which means that opposite him stand a knight and a liar. One of the people opposite the found liar is the initial knight, so next to him stands another knight. Opposite this new knight stands the previously found liar and another person, who must be a knight. Repeating these considerations, we see that in the circle, there are two knights, then one liar, then again two knights, then another liar, and so on. This means that the liars make up a third of the total number of participants. Therefore, the number of liars is $15 \div 3 = 5$, and the number of knights is $15 - 5 = 10$.

# Task No. 7.1 ## Condition: Artist Ivan Konstantinovich decided to sell several of his paintings at the Broken Auction. The rules of the Broken Auction are as follows: first, Ivan Konstantinovich names a certain starting price for his painting, after which the participants who want to buy this painting begin to bid on it - increasing the price, but only by a factor of two, - that is, the new price can only be twice the last one offered; the participant after whom no one dares to raise the price by another factor of two gets the painting; if no one bids on the painting, that is, no one offers a price higher than the initial one, the painting remains unsold. For each of his paintings, Ivan Konstantinovich decided to set the starting price at 1000 rubles. How many paintings did he sell at the Broken Auction if all his paintings were bought for different prices, and his total revenue from all the sold paintings amounted to 250000 rubles?
Answer: 6 Exact match of the answer -1 point ## Solution. It is claimed that each painting by Ivan Konstantinovich was sold for $1000 \times 2^{\text {x }}$ rubles, where $\mathrm{x}$ is some natural number. Indeed, initially, the painting's price is 1000 rubles, and each participant doubles its price, meaning the price is multiplied by 2. Therefore, when the painting reaches the last participant and is sold, its price is multiplied by 2 several times (possibly once) and becomes $1000 \times 2 \times \ldots \times 2$, or $1000 \times 2^{x}$ rubles. Here, $\mathrm{x}$ cannot be 0 because the painting cannot be sold for 1000 rubles if no one doubles the price; the painting would remain unsold, and the problem only concerns sold paintings. Thus, Ivan Konstantinovich's total revenue is the sum of several such numbers of the form $1000 \times 2^{\mathrm{a}}$, where the exponent of 2 is some natural number. This means it is 1000 multiplied by some sum of powers of 2. Since all prices, according to the problem, were different, no power of 2 in this sum is repeated. We need to represent the number $250000 / 1000=250$ as a sum of different powers of 2, and the number of terms in such a decomposition will show us the number of paintings sold. Let's do this: $250=128+64+32+16+8+2 \Rightarrow 6$ terms $\Rightarrow$ 6 paintings were sold. The uniqueness of such a decomposition can be explained using simple reasoning about what can and cannot be in the decomposition: there are no powers of 2 greater than 128 in the sum, as otherwise the sum would be at least 256, but it should be 250. Moreover, 128 must be included, otherwise the maximum sum would be $64+32+16+8+4+2=126$, since all numbers in the sum are different (as the prices are different by condition). It remains to make up the difference of 250$128=122$. Similarly, it can be shown that 64, 32, 16, and 8 must be included in the sum. After that, only 2 remains to be added, which is exactly the number 2. #

In quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonals bisect each other, so this quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Then $\angle ABC + \angle BCD = 180^{\circ}$, from which $\angle BCD = 70^{\circ} = \angle MBC = \angle DBC$. This means that triangle $BCD$ is isosceles, as is the congruent triangle $BAD$.

9.4. After the bankruptcy of the company "Horns and Hooves," 17 horns, 2 hooves, and one weight remained. All this wealth was divided equally by weight between Pankovskiy and Balaganov, with the weight entirely going to Balaganov. The horns and hooves were not cut into pieces. Each horn is heavier than each hoof and lighter than the weight by the same amount. How many horns and hooves did Pankovskiy get? Provide all possible options and prove that there are no others.
Solution: Let one hoof weigh $k$, and one horn weigh $k+\delta$ (all weights in the same units of measurement, for example, in puds). Then, according to the condition, the weight of the weight (the iron piece) is $k+2\delta$, and the total weight of the divided property is $20k+19\delta$. Each person received $10k+9.5\delta$. Balaganov took the weight, and with horns and hooves, he gathered $9k+7.5\delta$. This weight is less than the weight of 9 horns but more than the weight of 7 horns and 2 hooves. Therefore, Balaganov took fewer than 9 but more than 7 horns, which means 8.8 horns weigh $8k+8\delta$, and for hooves, Balaganov has $k-0.5\delta$ left, which is less than the weight of one hoof. This means all hooves and all other horns went to Panikovsky. Incidentally, we established that $k-0.5\delta=0$, meaning the horn is 3 times heavier than the hoof, and the weight is 5 times heavier than the hoof. Answer: 9 horns and 2 hooves.

It is known that on any segment with endpoints at red points, containing a red point inside, there are at least 3 blue points. And on any segment with endpoints at blue points, containing 2 blue points inside, there are at least 2 red points. What is the maximum number of blue points that can be on a segment with endpoints at red points, not containing other red points?
# Answer. 3. Solution. Note that on a segment with endpoints at red points, not containing other red points, there cannot be 4 blue points. Indeed, in this case, between the outermost blue points there will be 2 blue points, which means there will be at least 2 more red points. Therefore, there are no more than 3 blue points on such a segment. We will show that 3 blue points can lie on a segment with endpoints at red points, not containing other red points. Suppose the points are arranged on a line in the following order: 2 red - 3 blue - 2 red - 3 blue - 2 red. Then all conditions are satisfied, and there is a segment with 3 blue points. Comment.

Answer: 11 games. Solution: According to the condition, the second player played 21 games, so there were at least 21 games in total. Out of any two consecutive games, the first player must participate in at least one, which means there were no more than \(2 \cdot 10 + 1 = 21\) games. Therefore, a total of 21 games were played, and the second player participated in each of them. In 10 games, he met the first player, and in the remaining 11 games, he met the third player.

10.4. Let x be some natural number. Among the statements: $2 \times$ greater than 70 x less than 100 $3 x$ greater than 25 x not less than 10 x greater than 5 three are true and two are false. What is x
Answer: 9. Solution The first statement is equivalent to x > 35, and the third statement is equivalent to $\mathrm{x}>8$, since x is a natural number. The first statement is false, because if it were true, then the third, fourth, and fifth statements would also be true, i.e., there would be at least 4 true statements. Therefore, x does not exceed 35. From this, it follows that the second statement is true. But then the fourth statement is false (otherwise, the third and fifth statements would also be true, and again we would have at least 4 true statements). Therefore, statements 3 and 5 are true. And from the falsity of the fourth statement and the truth of the third statement, it immediately follows that $x=9$.

8.4. Twelve chairs are arranged in a row. Sometimes a person sits on one of the free chairs. In this case, exactly one of his neighbors (if they were there) stands up and leaves. What is the maximum number of people that can be sitting simultaneously, if initially all the chairs were empty?
Answer: 11. Solution. Evaluation. Note that it is impossible to occupy all chairs simultaneously, as at the moment when a person sits on the last unoccupied chair, one of his neighbors will stand up. Therefore, the number of people sitting simultaneously cannot exceed 11. Example. We will show how to seat 11 people. Number the chairs from 1 to 12. The first chair is easy to occupy. The second chair can be occupied in two stages. In the first stage, a person sits on the third chair, and in the second stage, we seat a person on the second chair, and the person on the third chair stands up. We proceed similarly: if chairs numbered from 1 to \( k \) are occupied, we first seat a person on the chair numbered \( k+2 \), and then seat a person on the chair numbered \( k+1 \), thereby freeing the chair numbered \( k+2 \). After this operation is performed for all \( k \) from 1 to 10, the chairs numbered from 1 to 11 will be occupied, and the twelfth chair will be free. ## Evaluation Criteria: + A complete and justified solution is provided ± The correct answer is provided and it is explained how to seat 11 (a correct example is given), but it is not explained why there cannot be 12 sitting (no evaluation) 干 The correct answer is provided and it is explained why there cannot be 12 sitting, but the seating example for 11 is not provided or is incorrect - Only the answer is provided - The problem is not solved or is solved incorrectly 8.5. Inside an equilateral triangle \( ABC \), a point \( M \) is marked. Prove that it is possible to choose a point \( C_{1} \) on side \( AB \), a point \( A_{1} \) on side \( BC \), and a point \( B_{1} \) on side \( AC \) such that the lengths of the sides of triangle \( A_{1} B_{1} C_{1} \) are equal to the segments \( MA, MB \), and \( MC \). Solution. Mark points \( C_{1} \) on side \( AB \), \( A_{1} \) on side \( BC \), and \( B_{1} \) on side \( AC \) such that \( M C_{1} \parallel BC, M A_{1} \parallel AC, M B_{1} \parallel AB \) (see Fig. 8.5). Then the segments \( M A_{1}, M B_{1} \), and \( M C_{1} \) will divide the given triangle into three trapezoids. From the parallelism, it follows that each angle at the larger base of these trapezoids is \( 60^{\circ} \), so these trapezoids are isosceles. Consequently, in each trapezoid, the diagonals are equal: \( B_{1} C_{1} = MA \), \( A_{1} C_{1} = MB \), \( A_{1} B_{1} = MC \), which is what we needed to prove.

5. (7 points) Consider the equation $\sin ^{3}(x)+\cos ^{3}(x)=-1$. How many solutions does it have on the interval $[0 ; 6 \pi]$? Answer: 6.
Solution. From the main trigonometric identity, we have $\sin ^{2}(x)+$ $\cos ^{2}(x)=1$. Adding this to the given equality, we get $$ 0=\sin ^{2}(x) \cdot(1+\sin (x))+\cos ^{2}(x) \cdot(1+\cos (x)) $$ In this expression, all factors are non-negative, so both terms $\sin ^{2}(x)(1+\sin (x))$ and $\cos ^{2}(x)(1+\cos (x))$ are equal to 0. Case 1. Let $\sin (x)=0$. Then $\cos (x) \neq 0$, so $\cos (x)=-1$. Therefore, $x=\pi+2 \pi k$. Case 2. Let $\sin (x) \neq 0$. Then $\sin x=-1$, which implies $\cos (x)=0$. Therefore, $x=\frac{3 \pi}{2}+2 \pi n$. It is easy to see that all numbers of the form $\pi+2 \pi k$ and $\frac{3 \pi}{2}+2 \pi n$ are roots of the original equation. In the required interval, three roots of the first form fall, where $k=0,1,2$ and three roots of the second form, where $n=0,1,2$. In total, we have $3+3=6$ roots. Criteria. Any correct solution: 7 points. General formulas for the roots are obtained, but the number of roots on the interval $[0 ; 6 \pi]$ is calculated incorrectly: 5 points.

Problem 6.2. At a ball, princesses and knights gathered - a total of 22 people. The first princess danced with seven knights, the second with eight knights, the third with nine knights, ..., the last danced with all the knights present. How many princesses were at the ball?
Answer: 8. Solution. Note that the number of knights the princess danced with is 6 more than her number. Let there be $x$ princesses in total, then the last one has the number $x$ and danced with all the knights, and there are $x+6$ of them in total. We get that there were $x+$ $(x+6)=2x+6=22$ people at the ball, which means there were 8 princesses.

Problem 6.4. On her birthday, Katya treated her classmates with candies. After giving out some candies, she noticed that she had 10 more candies left than Artem received. After that, she gave everyone one more candy, and it turned out that all the children in the class (including Katya) had the same number of candies. How many classmates does Katya have?
Answer: 9. Solution. Initially, the number of candies Kati and Artyom had differed by 10. When Kati gave everyone one more candy, the number of candies Artyom had increased by 1, and the number of candies Kati had decreased by the number of her classmates, and they ended up with the same amount. This means that 10 is the number of her classmates plus 1. Therefore, Kati has 9 classmates.

Every minute, three of them ate a sandwich from their own plate, while the fourth ate a sandwich from their neighbor's plate. After 5 minutes of the meal, there were 8 sandwiches left in Uncle Fyodor's plate. What is the minimum number of sandwiches that could have remained on Cat Matroskin's plate?
# Answer: 7 Solution. We will call the sandwiches eaten from a neighbor's plate stolen. Note that in 5 minutes, exactly 5 sandwiches were stolen. At the same time, 7 sandwiches disappeared from Uncle Fyodor's plate, of which he himself ate no more than 5, meaning that at least 2 were stolen. From this, it is clear that no more than 3 sandwiches were stolen from Matroskin's plate, that is, no more than 8 sandwiches in total disappeared from there. Therefore, at least 7 sandwiches remained. Note that exactly 7 sandwiches could remain if Uncle Fyodor and Matroskin always ate sandwiches from their own plates, while Sharik sat between them and ate 2 sandwiches from Uncle Fyodor's plate and 3 sandwiches from Matroskin's plate.

8.4. Three pirates divided the diamonds they had obtained during the day in the evening: twelve each for Bill and Sam, and the rest went to John, who couldn't count. At night, Bill stole one diamond from Sam, Sam stole one from John, and John stole one from Bill. As a result, the average weight of Bill's diamonds decreased by one carat, Sam's decreased by two carats, and John's increased by four carats. How many diamonds did John get?
Answer: 9 diamonds. Solution. The first method (arithmetic). Note that the number of diamonds each pirate has did not change overnight. Since Bill has 12 diamonds, and their average weight decreased by 1 carat, the total weight of his diamonds decreased by 12 carats. Similarly, Sam also has 12 diamonds, and their average weight decreased by 2 carats, so the total weight of his diamonds decreased by 24 carats. Since the total weight of the diamonds of Bill and Sam decreased by 36 carats, the total weight of John's diamonds increased by the same 36 carats. Since the average weight of John's diamonds increased by 4 carats, he had $36: 4=9$ diamonds. The second method (algebraic). Let John have $x$ diamonds. Let the average weight of the diamonds that Bill received be denoted by $b$, Sam's by $s$, and John's by $d$. Then the total weight of the diamonds that Bill had was $12 b$, Sam's was $-12 s$, and John's was $-x d$. In the morning, the number of diamonds each had did not change, but the average weight of the diamonds became: for Bill - $(b-1)$, for Sam - $(s-2)$, for John - $(d+4)$. The total weight of the diamonds became: for Bill $12(b-1)$, for Sam $-12(s-2)$, for John $-x(d+4)$. Since the total weight of the diamonds of the three pirates did not change, we have $12 b+12 s+x d=12(b-1)+12(s-2)+x(d+4)$. Expanding the brackets and combining like terms, we get: $4 x-36=0$, so $x=9$. ## Grading criteria: + a complete and well-reasoned solution is provided $\pm$ a generally correct solution is provided, but an arithmetic error is made 干 the equation is correctly set up, but not solved or solved incorrectly 干 the correct answer is obtained from a specific example - only the answer is provided - the problem is not solved or solved incorrectly

10.1. The graph of the quadratic function $y=a x^{2}+c$ intersects the coordinate axes at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. What is the value of ac?
Answer: -3. Solution. Since the graph intersects the OX axis at two points, the numbers a and c have different signs. The points of intersection are: $A\left(\sqrt{-\frac{c}{a}} ; 0\right) ; B\left(-\sqrt{-\frac{c}{a}} ; 0\right)$. The graph intersects the OY axis at point $C(0 ; c)$. Then the side $AB$ of the equilateral triangle is $2 \sqrt{-\frac{c}{a}}$, and its height is $|c|$. Since the side $a$ and the height $h$ of an equilateral triangle are related by $h=\frac{a \sqrt{3}}{2}$, we have $|c|=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot 2 \sqrt{-\frac{c}{a}}$, from which $c^{2}=-3 \cdot \frac{c}{a}$, so $a c=-3$.

Answer: 9 m/min. Solution. The turtle covers a distance of 25 Machine "meters" in one Machine "minute," meaning it crawls $25 \cdot 60$ centimeters in 100 seconds. Therefore, the speed of the turtle is $\frac{25 \cdot 60}{100}=15$ cm/sec. Thus, in 60 seconds, the turtle will crawl $15 \cdot 60$ centimeters, which is $\frac{15 \cdot 60}{100}=9$ meters. Criteria.

Answer: at 6 AM. Solution. Let's denote the meeting point as $C$. Let $x$ be the number of hours from dawn to noon. The speed of the first pedestrian on segment $A C$ is $A C / x$, and on segment $B C$ it is $B C / 4$. Since his speed is constant, we have $\frac{A C}{x}=\frac{B C}{4}$, which can be rewritten as $\frac{A C}{B C}=\frac{x}{4}$. Similarly for the second pedestrian: the equality of speeds on segments $B C$ and $A C$ results in the ratio $\frac{B C}{x}=\frac{A C}{9}$, which we can rewrite as $\frac{A C}{B C}=\frac{9}{x}$. We get $\frac{x}{4}=\frac{9}{x}$, and by the property of proportions, $x^{2}=36, x=6$. Dawn was 6 hours before noon, i.e., at 6 AM. Criteria. Any correct solution: 7 points.

# Answer: 8. Solution: Let $a, b, c, d, e$ be the number of exams taken in each year of study. According to the problem, $a+b+c+d+e=31, a<b<c<d<e$. Replace the numbers $b, c, d, e$ in the equation with definitely not larger values: $a+(a+1)+(a+2)+(a+3)+3a \leq 31$. We get $7a \leq 25$. Replacing these numbers with definitely not smaller values, we get $a+(3a-3)+(3a-2)+(3a-1)+3a \geq 31$. We get $13a \geq 37$. Therefore, $a=3$. In this case, $e=9, b+c+d=19$.

Then, in each of the nine $2 \times 2$ squares that can be identified within this square, the number of black cells was counted. The resulting numbers were 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4. How many black cells can there be in the large square? List all possible options.
Answer: 11 Solution. Note that squares with 0 white cells and 4 white cells cannot intersect. If a square with 0 white cells is not in a corner, then it does not intersect with more than three other squares (the square can be in the center or adjacent to the middle of a side). Let the white square be in the bottom-left corner, then we have 5 squares suspected of containing 4 black cells, of which 4 are entirely black, and one has 2 or 3 black cells. Note that the squares marked in Figure 1 contain no more than 2 black cells, so exactly 2. Then the three corner squares either all contain 4 cells, but then 5 squares contain 4 black cells; or two corners contain 4, and one contains 3. In total, this results in 11 cells. Figures 2 and 3 show examples of such arrangements. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_eb2519c7589eeda5f668g-4.jpg?height=263&width=623&top_left_y=762&top_left_x=725)

9.5. What is the largest number of different natural numbers that can be chosen so that the sum of any three of them is a prime number?
Answer: 4 numbers. Example: $1,3,7,9$. Indeed, the numbers $1+3+7=11, 1+3+9=13$, $1+7+9=17, 3+7+9=19$ are prime. Evaluation. Note that among five natural numbers, it is always possible to choose three whose sum is a composite number. Consider the remainders of these five numbers when divided by 3. If there are three identical remainders, then the sum of the corresponding numbers is divisible by 3. If there are no three identical remainders, then each of the three possible remainders $0,1,2$ must be present. Then the sum of three numbers with different remainders when divided by 3 is divisible by 3. This sum is not equal to 3, since all numbers are different and natural. Therefore, this sum is a composite number. Remarks. An example of four numbers without evaluation - no more than 3 points.

11.1. Answer: $x=2$. The left side of the original inequality is defined at $x=2$ and. At the point $x=2$, the inequality is true. We will prove that there are no solutions on the interval $[0 ; 1]$. For this, we will square both sides and bring the inequality to the form $x^{2}(1-x)<-1$. The last inequality is not satisfied for $x \in [0 ; 1]$.

Answer. 1. Solution. The area of the triangle can be found, for example, by subtracting from half the area of the square the area of the square and the areas of two right triangles. We get $S=10-4-2-3=1$. The figure can be divided in other ways. Comment. An answer without justification - 0 points. A partition that allows finding the area but lacks calculations - 2 points.

It is known that the total number of rubies is 15 more than the total number of diamonds. How many emeralds are there in total in the boxes? ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_564c13f715a760703913g-13.jpg?height=126&width=751&top_left_y=264&top_left_x=353) #
# Answer: 12. Solution. The total number of rubies is no more than $13+8=21$, and the number of diamonds is no less than $2+4=6$. According to the condition, their quantities differ by 15. This is only possible if the rubies are in the boxes with 13 and 8 stones, and the diamonds are in the boxes with 2 and 4 stones. Then the emeralds are in the two remaining boxes, and there are a total of $5+7=12$.

Replace the letters in the remaining squares with numbers from 2 to 8 so that the arrows from the square with the number 1 point in the direction of the square with the number 2 (the number 2 can be in square $A$ or $B$), the arrows from the square with the number 2 point in the direction of the square with the number 3, and so on, the arrows from the square with the number 8 point in the direction of the square with the number 9. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_564c13f715a760703913g-18.jpg?height=389&width=379&top_left_y=96&top_left_x=529) Construct the correspondence. - In square $A$ - In square $B$ - In square $C$ - In square $D$ - In square $E$ - In square $F$ - In square $G$ - stands the number 2. - stands the number 3. - stands the number 4. - stands the number 5. - stands the number 6. - stands the number 7. - stands the number 8.
Answer: In square $A$ there is the number 6, in $B-2$, in $C-4$, in $D-5$, in $E-3$, in $F-8$, in $G-7$. Solution. Let's order all the squares by the numbers in them. This "increasing chain" contains all nine squares. Notice that in this chain, immediately before $C$ can only be $E$ (only the arrows from $E$ point to $C$). Similarly, immediately before $E$ can only be $B$ (not $C$, because $C$ is after $E$). Immediately before $B$ can only be 1. Therefore, the numbers in squares $B, E, C$ are $2,3,4$ respectively. Then 5 is definitely in $D$, 6 is definitely in $A$, 7 is definitely in $G$, and 8 is definitely in $F$.

10.1. Each of the 10 people is either a knight, who always tells the truth, or a liar, who always lies. Each of them thought of some number (not necessarily an integer). Then the first said: “My number is greater than 1”, the second said: “My number is greater than $2”, \ldots$, the tenth said: “My number is greater than $10”. After that, all ten, speaking in some order, said: “My number is less than 1”, “My number is less than $2”, \ldots$, “My number is less than 10” (each said exactly one of these ten phrases). What is the maximum number of knights that could have been among these 10 people? (O. Podlipsky)
Answer: 9 knights. Solution. Estimation. Note that none of the knights could have said the phrase "My number is greater than 10," otherwise the number they thought of would indeed be greater than 10. But then he could not have said any of the phrases "My number is less than 1," "My number is less than 2," ..., "My number is less than 10." Therefore, there is at least one liar, and there are no more than 9 knights. Example. Let's show that there could have been 9 knights. Suppose the first person thought of the number 1.5, the second -2.5, ..., the ninth -9.5, and the tenth person thought of the number 5. Then for $k=1,2, \ldots, 9$, the $k$-th person could have said the true phrases "My number is greater than $k$" and "My number is less than $k+1$" (i.e., he is a knight), while the tenth person is a liar, saying the phrases "My number is greater than 10" and "My number is less than 1." Remark. The example given above ceases to be valid if the tenth person thinks of a number outside the interval $(0 ; 10)$, as then exactly one of his answers is true. Comment. It is proven that there are no more than 9 knights (or, equivalently, there is at least one liar) - 3 points. The example showing that there could have been 9 knights, with the indication of which person said which phrases - 4 points. If the example provided is not fully described (for example, it is not specified what number the liar thought of, or it is not clearly indicated who said which phrase) - out of 4 points for the example, no more than 2 points are given.

5. Mom bought a box of lump sugar (sugar in cubes). The children first ate the top layer - 77 cubes, then the side layer - 55 cubes, and finally, the front layer. How many sugar cubes are left in the box?
Answer: 300 or 0. Solution. A box has three dimensions: height, width, and depth. To find out how many cubes are in the top layer, you need to multiply the width by the depth, and for the side layer, multiply the height by the depth. After the top layer is eaten, the height decreases by 1, while the depth remains the same. Therefore, 77 and 55 must be divisible by the original depth of the box. Since the common factors of 77 and 55 are only 1 and 11. If the depth is 1, then nothing is left after the front layer is eaten. If we assume that some sugar is still left, then the depth of the box is 11. Then the width is 77:11=7 cubes, and the height after the top layer is eaten is 55:11=5 cubes. After the side layer is eaten, the width decreases by 1 (becoming 7-1=6 cubes), and after the front layer is eaten, the depth decreases by 1 and becomes 11-1=10. Therefore, the remaining height of the sugar in the box is 5, the width is 6, and the depth is 10 cubes. That is, there are $5 * 6 * 10=300$ cubes of sugar left in the box.

# 10.5. (7 points) At a joint conference of the party of liars and the party of truth-tellers, 32 people were elected to the presidium and seated in four rows of eight. During the break, each member of the presidium claimed that among their neighbors there are representatives of both parties. It is known that liars always lie, and truth-tellers always tell the truth. What is the minimum number of liars in the presidium for the described situation to be possible? (Two members of the presidium are neighbors if one of them sits to the left, right, in front of, or behind the other).
Answer: with eight liars. Solution: Divide all the seats in the presidium into eight groups as shown in the figure. If there are fewer than eight liars, then in one of these groups, only truth-tellers will be sitting, which is impossible. The contradiction obtained shows that there are no fewer than eight liars. The figure shows how eight liars can be seated in the presidium so that the condition of the problem is satisfied. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_29cbc05fa9d64c546048g-3.jpg?height=338&width=1438&top_left_y=1184&top_left_x=387) Comments.

Answer: -1. Solution variant 1. Let's list the first few terms of the obtained sequence: $$ 2,-1,1 / 2,2, \ldots $$ We see that the sequence has entered a cycle with a period of 3. Since the number 500 when divided by 3 gives a remainder of 2, the 500th term will be the same as the 2nd. That is, the five hundredth number will be equal to -1.

5. On a coordinate plane with the origin at point $O$, a parabola $y=x^{2}$ is drawn. Points $A, B$ are marked on the parabola such that $\angle A O B$ is a right angle. Find the smallest possible value of the area of triangle $A O B$.
5. Answer: 1. Solution. Let $A\left(a, a^{2}\right), B\left(b, b^{2}\right)$ be arbitrary points on the parabola. Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, $a^{2}+a^{4}+b^{2}+b^{4}=(a-b)^{2}+\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)^{2} \Leftrightarrow a b=-1$. From this, we find the expression for the area of the triangle: $2 S=\sqrt{a^{2}+a^{4}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{a^{2}}+\frac{1}{a^{4}}}=\sqrt{2+\left(a^{2}+\frac{1}{a^{2}}\right)} \geq 2$ (the last inequality follows from the inequality between the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean). It is clear that the value 1 is achieved for an isosceles triangle with vertices $O$, $A(1,1), B(-1,1)$. Grading criteria. Correct solution - 7 points. The necessary inequality is proven, but it is not indicated that there exists a triangle with such an area - 5 points. The relationship between the coordinates of the points on the parabola is obtained, but there is no further progress - 1 point. The relationship between the coordinates is obtained and the formula for the area is written, but the estimate for the area is not made - 2 points. In all other cases - 0 points.

7.3. In the notebook, all irreducible fractions with the numerator 15 are written down, which are greater than $\frac{1}{16}$ and less than $\frac{1}{15}$. How many such fractions are written down 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. 3 points. Correctly obtained range for $n$. $\mathbf{0}$ 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 watch the accuracy of such justifications.

5. There are 2001 coins on the table. Two players play the following game: they take turns, on each turn the first player can take any odd number of coins from 1 to 99, the second player can take any even number of coins from 2 to 100, and so on. The player who cannot make a move loses. Who wins with correct play?
5. The first one wins. Winning strategy: the first player should take 81 coins from the table on the first move. On each subsequent move, if the second player takes x coins, then the first player should take (101 - x) coins. He can always do this because if x is an even number from 2 to 100, then (101 - x) is an odd number from 1 to 99. Since 2001 = 101 * 19 + 81 + 1, after 19 such "responses" the first player will leave 1 coin on the table after his move, and the second player will not be able to make a move, i.e., will lose.

9.4. In a class, there are 18 children. The parents decided to gift the children from this class a cake. To do this, they first asked each child the area of the piece they wanted to receive. After that, they ordered a square cake, the area of which is exactly equal to the sum of the 18 named numbers. However, upon seeing the cake, the children wanted their pieces to be square as well. The parents can cut the cake with cuts parallel to the sides of the cake (cuts are not required to start or end on the side of the cake). For what largest $k$ can the parents guarantee to cut out $k$ square pieces from the ordered cake, which can be given to $k$ children, so that each of them gets what they want? (A. Ibragimov, I. Bogdanov)
Answer. $k=12$. Solution. We always assume that the area of the cake is 1. We will show that for some children's requests, the parents will not be able to cut out more than 12 required pieces. Choose a number $1 / 15 > x > 1 / 16$. Suppose that 15 main children ordered a piece of cake with an area of $x$ each (and the other three made arbitrary orders so that the total area of the ordered pieces is equal to 1). Mentally divide the cake into 16 equal squares and mark all 9 vertices of these squares that do not lie on the boundary of the cake (see Fig. 3). Then strictly inside any square piece of area $x$ will lie one of the marked points, that is, no more than nine such pieces can be cut out. Therefore, at least six children will not get their desired pieces. It remains to prove that 12 children will always be able to get what they want. Let $a_{1} \geqslant a_{2} \geqslant \ldots \geqslant a_{18}$ be the side lengths of the pieces that the children want to get, that is, $$ a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+\ldots+a_{18}^{2}=1 $$ We will show that from a square, pieces with sides $a_{7}, a_{8}, \ldots, a_{18}$ can be cut out. For this, we need the inequalities $$ a_{7}+a_{10}+a_{13}+a_{16} \leqslant 1 \quad \text { and } \quad a_{7}+a_{8}+a_{9} \leqslant 1 $$ To prove the first inequality, note that $$ \begin{aligned} 1 \geqslant & a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+\ldots+a_{16}^{2} \geqslant 4 a_{4}^{2}+4 a_{8}^{2}+4 a_{12}^{2}+4 a_{16}^{2} \geqslant \\ & \geqslant 4\left(a_{7}^{2}+a_{10}^{2}+a_{13}^{2}+a_{16}^{2}\right) \geqslant\left(a_{7}+a_{10}+a_{13}+a_{16}\right)^{2} \end{aligned} $$ In the last transition, we used the inequality between the quadratic mean and the arithmetic mean. The second inequality is proved similarly: ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_aeebc79ceb55f7038dcbg-5.jpg?height=480&width=832&top_left_y=1147&top_left_x=317) | $a_{16}$ | $a_{17} \mid a$ | | | :---: | :---: | :---: | | $a_{13}$ | $a_{14}$ | $a_{15}$ | | $a_{10}$ | $a_{11}$ | $a_{12}$ | | $a_{7}$ | $a_{\S}$ | $a$ | $1 \geqslant a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+\ldots+a_{9}^{2} \geqslant 3 a_{3}^{2}+3 a_{6}^{2}+3 a_{9}^{2} \geqslant$ $\geqslant 3\left(a_{7}^{2}+a_{8}^{2}+a_{9}^{2}\right) \geqslant\left(a_{7}+a_{8}+a_{9}\right)^{2}$.

Answer: 6. Solution. We will measure all dimensions in meters and the area in square meters. Let's look at the overlap of the second and third carpets. This will be a rectangle $5 \times 3$ (5 along the horizontal, 3 along the vertical), adjacent to the right side of the square room, 4 units from the top side, and 3 units from the bottom side. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_86512448fd32765ac040g-10.jpg?height=315&width=321&top_left_y=922&top_left_x=566) The first carpet intersects this rectangle horizontally between the 5th and 8th meters from the left side of the square room, and vertically between the 4th and 6th meters from the top side.

Draw segments $A D$ and $A E$ (Fig. 4). Since $\angle D A E=\angle D E A=37^{\circ}$, triangle $A D E$ is isosceles, $A D=D E$. Notice that triangle $A B D$ is equal to triangle $E B D$ by three sides: $B D$ is a common side, $A D=D E, A B=B E$ from the equality of triangles $A B C$ and $E B D$. Then $\angle D A B=$ $\angle B E D=\angle B A C$ and $\angle A B D=\angle D B E=\angle A B E=\frac{1}{3} \cdot 360^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$. Since $A B=B E$, triangle $A B E$ is isosceles with an angle of $120^{\circ}$, so $\angle B A E=\frac{1}{2}\left(180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}\right)=30^{\circ}$. Therefore, $$ \angle B A C=\angle D A B=\angle D A E-\angle B A E=37^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=7^{\circ} $$

It turned out that for the point $T$ with coordinates $(3 ; 3)$, the condition $T A=T B=T C$ is satisfied. Find $b$. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_86512448fd32765ac040g-39.jpg?height=321&width=517&top_left_y=195&top_left_x=468)
Answer: -6. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_86512448fd32765ac040g-39.jpg?height=359&width=614&top_left_y=600&top_left_x=420) Fig. 11: to the solution of problem 10.7 Solution. Let point $A$ have coordinates $\left(x_{1} ; 0\right)$, and point $C$ have coordinates $\left(x_{2} ; 0\right)$. From the condition, it is clear that $x_{1} < 0$ and $x_{2} > 0$. Since $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ are the roots of the quadratic trinomial $f(x)$, by Vieta's theorem, we have $x_{1} \cdot x_{2} = 12b$, from which we get $b = \frac{x_{1} \cdot x_{2}}{12} < 0$. Let $H$ be the point with coordinates $(3 ; 0)$ (Fig. 11). Clearly, in the isosceles triangle $A T C$, the segment $T H$ is the height, and therefore it is also the median. Thus, $3 - x_{1} = A H = H C = x_{2} - 3$, from which we get $x_{1} = 6 - x_{2}$. Let $M$ be the point with coordinates $(0, 3)$. Since $T H = T M = 3$ and $T A = T B$, the right triangles $A T H$ and $B T M$ are equal by the leg and hypotenuse. Therefore, $3 - x_{1} = H A = M B = 3 - b$, that is, $x_{1} = b = \frac{x_{1} \cdot x_{2}}{12}$ (by Vieta's theorem), from which we find $x_{2} = 12$. Finally, $x_{1} = 6 - x_{2} = 6 - 12 = -6$ and $b = x_{1} = -6$. Another solution. As in the previous solution, let the abscissas of points $A$ and $C$ be $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$, respectively; we will also use the fact that point $B$ has coordinates $(0 ; b)$. Immediately, we understand that $O A = |x_{1}| = -x_{1}$, $O C = |x_{2}| = x_{2}$, and $O B = |b| = -b$. Let's find the second intersection of the circle with the y-axis, let this be point $D$ with coordinates $(0 ; d)$ (Fig. 12). The chords $A C$ and $B D$ of the circle intersect at the origin $O$; from the properties of the circle, we know that $O A \cdot O C = O B \cdot O D$. We get $-x_{1} \cdot x_{2} = -b \cdot d$, from which, replacing $x_{1} \cdot x_{2}$ with $12b$ by Vieta's theorem, we get $d = 12$. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_86512448fd32765ac040g-40.jpg?height=521&width=571&top_left_y=83&top_left_x=437) Fig. 12: to the solution of problem 10.7 It remains to note that triangle $BTD$ is isosceles, and the midpoint of its base, point $M$, has coordinates $(0 ; 3)$. Reflecting point $D(0 ; 12)$ relative to it, we get $B(0 ; -6)$.

7.5. Grandfather is 31 times older than his grandson. In how many years will he be 7 times older than his grandson, given that the grandfather is more than 50 but less than 90 years old?
Answer: In 8 years. Solution: Grandfather's age is divisible by 31. But the only such number greater than 50 and less than 90 is 62. Therefore, the grandfather is 62 years old, and the grandson is 2 years old. In x years, the grandfather will be x+62 years old, and the grandson will be x+2 years old. If at that time he will be 7 times older than the grandson, then x+62=7(x+2), from which x=8. Comment: It is written that the grandfather's age is 62 years - 3 points.

3. A $3 \times 3$ table was filled with prime numbers. It turned out that the sum of the numbers in any two adjacent cells is a prime number. What is the maximum number of different numbers that can be in the table? Provide an example and prove that there cannot be more different numbers. Fill the $3 \times 3$ table with prime numbers such that the sum of the numbers in any two adjacent cells is a prime number. Determine the maximum number of different prime numbers that can be used and provide an example. Prove that it is not possible to use more different prime numbers.
3. Answer: 6. Example: | 5 | 2 | 29 | | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | 2 | 3 | 2 | | | 11 | 2 | 17 | | | | -2 | | 0 | ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_7965a576f88598e4f309g-2.jpg?height=281&width=280&top_left_y=1059&top_left_x=886) We will prove that it cannot be more. Divide the cells of the table into 4 pairs of adjacent cells and one central cell. In each pair of adjacent cells, the sum of the numbers is a prime number. But the sum of two odd primes is an even number greater than two and, therefore, composite. Thus, in each pair, there must be a number 2. Therefore, there must be at least four 2s. The different numbers can be the five remaining and the 2, meaning there are no more than 6 different numbers. ## Grading Criteria. Only the correct example is provided: 3 points. Proved that there are at least four 2s, 6 different numbers, but no example: 4 points. It can also be proved by coloring the board in a checkerboard pattern and explaining that on each color, the numbers have the same parity.

1. What is the greatest length of an arithmetic progression of natural numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}$ with a difference of 2, in which for all $k=1,2 \ldots, n$ all numbers $a_{k}^{2}+1$ are prime
Solution. All members of the progression must be even numbers. Consider the remainders when divided by 5. Since the common difference of the arithmetic progression is 2, the remainders in the progression will appear in the order $\ldots 2,4,1,3,0,2,4,1,3,0, \ldots$ This means that among the terms of the progression, there will be numbers of the form $a_{k}=5 t+2$ and $a_{k}=5 t+3\left(t-\right.$ natural). For these numbers, we calculate $a_{k}^{2}+1=$ $25 t^{2}+20 t+5$ and $a_{k}^{2}+1=25 t^{2}+30 t+10$. We have found that the specified terms of the progression $a_{k}=5 t+2$ and $a_{k}=5 t+3$ yield expressions $a_{k}^{2}+1$ that are divisible by 5 and are not prime. The longest set of terms in the arithmetic progression that does not contain numbers of the form $a_{k}=5 t+2$ and $a_{k}=5 t+3$ consists of two numbers. Therefore, the number of consecutive terms of the progression that meet our criteria cannot exceed two. The only case where a sequence of three numbers can be obtained is by including the number 5 in $a_{k}^{2}+1$. Indeed, the numbers $2,4,6$ form an arithmetic progression and yield the corresponding sequence of prime numbers 5, 17, 37. Answer. $n=3$.

4. A $10 \times 10$ square was cut into 17 rectangles, each with both side lengths greater than 1. What is the smallest number of squares that could be among these rectangles? Provide an example of such a cutting.
Answer: one square. Solution. Suppose that among the rectangles, there is not a single square. Let $a$ and $b$ be the sides of an arbitrary rectangle, with $a > b$. Since the integer $b$ is greater than 1, then $b \geqslant 2$, and thus $a \geqslant 3$. Therefore, the area of each such rectangle $a \times b$ is at least $2 \cdot 3 = 6$ cells. However, then 17 rectangles should occupy at least $17 \cdot 6 = 102$ cells, while the original square $10 \times 10$ has only 100 cells. In Figure 1, an example of cutting the $10 \times 10$ square into 17 rectangles, among which there is exactly one square, is provided. Criteria. Only the answer - 0 points.

5. The diagonals of quadrilateral $A B C D$ intersect at point $O$. It is known that $A B=B C=$ $=C D, A O=8$ and $\angle B O C=120^{\circ}$. What is $D O ?$
Answer: $D O=8$. Solution. Mark a point $E$ on the line $A C$ such that triangle $B O E$ is equilateral (Fig. 2). We will prove the equality of triangles $B A E$ and $B C O$. Indeed, since $A B=B C$, triangle $A B C$ is isosceles, and thus $\angle B A C=\angle B C A$. Additionally, note another pair of equal angles $\angle A E B=\angle B O C=120^{\circ}$. Therefore, triangles $B A E$ and $B C O$ are equal by one side and two angles, hence $A E=C O$ and $A O=A E+E O=C O+B O$. If we mark a point $F$ on the line $B D$ such that triangle $C O F$ is equilateral, then by similar reasoning we get $D O=B O+C O$. Therefore, it follows that $D O=A O=8$. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_cbe5f382c3da7be3217bg-2.jpg?height=482&width=860&top_left_y=1537&top_left_x=665) Fig. 2 Criteria.

1. A seagull is being fed from a moving boat. A piece of bread is thrown down, the seagull takes 3 seconds to pick up the piece from the sea surface, and then it takes 12 seconds to catch up with the boat. Upon entering the bay, the boat reduces its speed by half. How much time will it now take the seagull to catch up with the boat after picking up the piece of bread? Om vem: 2 seconds.
Solution. Let the speed of the seagull relative to the boat be $x$ (m/s). Then in 12 seconds, it flies $12 x$ (m). The boat covers this distance in 3 seconds, so its speed is $4 x$ (m/s), and the speed of the seagull is $5 x$ (m/s). In the bay, the boat's speed becomes $2 x$ (m/s). In 3 seconds, it travels $6 x$ (m). The speed of the seagull relative to the boat is now $5 x - 2 x = 3 x$ (m/s). Therefore, it will take her 2 seconds to catch up with the boat. Criteria. If the solution is incorrect - 0 points. Only the correct answer - 0 points. If the reasoning is correct and there is a computational error - 3 points. If the solution is correct - 7 points.

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 $$ ED = EX - XD = EA - AC = 15 - 12 = 3 $$

11.5. The lateral faces of the pentagonal pyramid $S A B C D E$ are acute-angled triangles. We will call a lateral edge of the pyramid good if it is equal to the height of the opposite lateral face, drawn from the vertex of the pyramid (for example, the edge $S A$ is good if it is equal to the height of the triangle $S C D$, drawn from the vertex $S$). What is the maximum number of good edges that the pyramid can have?
# Answer. 2. Solution. We will show that two non-adjacent lateral edges of the pyramid cannot both be good. Suppose this is not the case, and, for example, edges $S A$ and $S C$ are good, meaning $S A = S P$ is the height of face $S C D$, and $S C = S Q$ is the height of face $S A E$. However, by the property of the height in an acute triangle, $S P < S C$, and $S Q < S A$. Therefore, $S A = S P < S C = S Q < S A$ - a contradiction. Now, note that among the three lateral edges of a pentagonal pyramid, there will always be two non-adjacent edges. Thus, the pyramid can have no more than two good edges. We will show that there exists a pentagonal pyramid with two good lateral edges. Consider a square $A M N E$ with center $O$. Let the line passing through vertex $M$ and perpendicular to $E M$, and the line passing through vertex $N$ and perpendicular to $A N$, intersect at point $C$. Choose points $B$ and $D$ such that points $M$ and $N$ are the midpoints of segments $B C$ and $D C$, respectively. Choose an arbitrary point $S$ on the perpendicular to the plane $A B C$ passing through point $O$. Then, by the theorem of three perpendiculars, $S M$ and $S N$ are the heights of triangles $S B C$ and $S D C$. And, as follows from the isosceles nature of triangles $E S M$ and $A S N$, edges $S E$ and $S A$ are good. Comment. Correct answer without justification - 0 points. Proved that the pyramid cannot have more than 2 good edges - 4 points. Provided an example of a pyramid with 2 good edges - 3 points.

7.2 On the Island of Truth and Lies, there are knights who always tell the truth, and liars who always lie. One day, 15 residents of the island lined up by height (from tallest to shortest, the tallest being the first) for a game. Each had to say one of the following phrases: "There is a liar below me" or "There is a knight above me." In the end, those standing from the fourth to the eighth position said the first phrase, while the rest said the second. How many knights were among these 15 people, given that all residents have different heights?
# Answer: 11 Solution. The formation cannot consist of only liars (in such a case, 4-8 would be telling the truth). Consider the tallest knight, let's call him R. He could only say the first phrase, so the positions 1, 2, and 3 must be occupied by liars, and R stands from 4 to 8. In addition, there is a liar who is shorter than R, let's call him L. This liar cannot say the second phrase, so he must say the first phrase and stand no later than the 8th position but no earlier than the 5th position. Therefore, from the 9th to the 15th position, only knights stand. A liar cannot stand at the 4th position, as L is shorter than him. Therefore, R stands at the 4th position. If there are other liars between R and L, they must also say the first phrase, but L is shorter than them, which is a contradiction. We conclude that liars stand at positions $1, 2, 3,$ and 8, while the remaining positions are occupied by knights.

Answer: 4. Solution: Let the number be $\overline{\operatorname{abcdefg}}$. According to the condition, $c d e=7$, which means one of these digits is 7, and the other two are 1. Since 30 and 15 are not divisible by $7, d=7, c=e=1$. The number $30=5 \cdot 6 \cdot 1$, so we get two three-digit numbers $\overline{a b c}$: 561 and 651. The number $15=1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5$, from which we get two three-digit numbers $\overline{e f g}$: 135 and 153. Finally, we get $2 \cdot 2=4$ numbers. Comment: Full solution of the problem - 7 points. Only the values of the three middle digits found - 2 points. Correct answer given without explanation - 0 points.

7.5. At a round table, 10 people are sitting, each of whom is either a knight, who always tells the truth, or a liar, who always lies. Each of them was given a token. Then each of them passed their token to one of their two neighbors. After that, 5 people said: "I have one token," while the other 5 said: "I have no tokens." What is the maximum number of knights that could have been among these 10 people?
# Answer. 7. Solution. Evaluation. After passing the chips, each person sitting at the table can have 0, 1, or 2 chips. The total number of chips will be 10. Note that if a person lies, they will state a number of chips that differs from the actual number by 1 or 2. Since the total number of chips according to the answers differs from the actual number by \(10-5=5\), at least 3 people must have lied. Therefore, there are no more than 7 knights at the table. Example. Suppose the knights sitting at the table pass the chips as follows (arrows indicate the direction of the chip transfer; the number of chips after the transfer is in parentheses): $$ \leftarrow \mathrm{P}(0)-\mathrm{P}(0) \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{L}(1) \rightarrow \mathrm{L}(2) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{L}(2) \leftarrow $$ In this case, all knights tell the truth, while the liars lie, saying they have 0 chips. Comment. A fully justified solution - 7 points. Correct evaluation - 5 points, a correct example constructed - 2 points, points are cumulative. The problem is not solved or solved incorrectly - 0 points.

2. Having walked $4 / 9$ of the length of the bridge, the traveler noticed that a car was catching up to him, but it had not yet entered the bridge. Then he turned back and met the car at the beginning of the bridge. If he had continued his movement, the car would have caught up with him at the end of the bridge. Find the ratio of the car's speed to the traveler's speed. #
# Solution From the condition, it follows that the time it takes for the car to approach the bridge is equal to the time it takes for the traveler to walk $4 / 9$ of the bridge. Therefore, if the traveler continues moving, by the time the car reaches the bridge, he will have walked ${ }^{8} / 9$ of the bridge. This means that during the time it takes for the car to cross the bridge, the traveler manages to walk one-ninth of the bridge, so the speed of the car is 9 times greater than the speed of the traveler. ## Answer 9.

1. Given various real numbers $p$ and $q$. It is known that there exists a number $x$ such that the equations $x^{2} + p x + q = 0$ and $x^{2} + q x + p = 0$ are satisfied. What values can the sum $p + q$ take?
Solution. Let $x$ be such that both equalities from the problem statement are satisfied. Then $x^{2}+p x+q=x^{2}+q x+p$, from which $(p-q) x=p-q$. Since $p \neq q$, it follows that $x=1$. Substituting this value into any of the equations, we find that $p+q+1=0$, that is, $p+q=-1$. Answer: -1.

3. In a football tournament, seven teams played: each team played once with each other. Teams that scored thirteen or more points advance to the next round. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. What is the maximum number of teams that can advance to the next round?
Solution. Evaluation. Note that the total number of games will be $\frac{7 \cdot 6}{2}=21$. Then the total number of points does not exceed $21 \cdot 3=63$. This means that no more than $\left[\frac{63}{13}\right]=4$ teams can advance to the next round. Example. We will show that 4 teams can advance to the next round. For this, we will provide an example of a suitable tournament table (the symbol "x" denotes insignificant results): | $№$ | $\mathbf{1}$ | $\mathbf{2}$ | $\mathbf{3}$ | $\mathbf{4}$ | $\mathbf{5}$ | $\mathbf{6}$ | $\mathbf{7}$ | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | $\mathbf{1}$ | - | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 0 | | $\mathbf{2}$ | 1 | - | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | | $\mathbf{3}$ | 0 | 3 | - | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | $\mathbf{4}$ | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | $\mathrm{x}$ | $\mathrm{x}$ | 0 | | $\mathbf{5}$ | 0 | 0 | 0 | $\mathrm{x}$ | - | $\mathrm{x}$ | 0 | | $\mathbf{6}$ | 0 | 0 | 0 | $\mathrm{x}$ | $\mathrm{x}$ | - | 0 | | $\mathbf{7}$ | 3 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | - | Answer: 4.

9.1. The numbers $a$ and $b$ are such that each of the two quadratic trinomials $x^{2} + a x + b$ and $x^{2} + b x + a$ has two distinct roots, and the product of these trinomials has exactly three distinct roots. Find all possible values of the sum of these three roots. (S. Berlov)
Answer: 0. Solution: From the condition, it follows that the quadratic polynomials $x^{2}+a x+b$ and $x^{2}+b x+a$ have a common root $x_{0}$, as well as roots $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ different from it; in particular, $a \neq b$. Then $0=\left(x_{0}^{2}+a x_{0}+b\right)-\left(x_{0}^{2}+b x_{0}+a\right)=(a-b)\left(x_{0}-1\right)$, that is, $x_{0}=1$. Substituting this root into any quadratic polynomial, we get $0=1+a+b$, that is, $b=-a-1$. Thus, our quadratic polynomials have the form $x^{2}+a x-(a+1)=(x-1)(x+a+1)$ and $x^{2}-(a+1) x+a=(x-1)(x-a)$. Their roots are the numbers $1, a$, and $-(a+1)$ (for $a \neq 1,-2,-1 / 2$ they are distinct), the sum of which is zero. Remark. After obtaining the equality $0=1+a+b$, the solution can be completed differently. By Vieta's theorem, we have $x_{0}+x_{1}=-a, x_{0}+x_{2}=-b$, from which $x_{0}+x_{1}+x_{2}=-a-b-x_{0}=0$.

9.3. Natural numbers $a, x$ and $y$, greater than 100, are such that $y^{2}-1=$ $=a^{2}\left(x^{2}-1\right)$. What is the smallest value that the fraction $a / x$ can take?
# Answer. 2. First solution. Rewrite the condition of the problem as $y^{2}=a^{2} x^{2}-a^{2}+1$. Notice that $y100$, if we set $a=2 x, y=a x-1=2 x^{2}-1$. Second solution. We provide another proof of the estimate $a / x \geqslant 2$. Rewrite the equality from the condition as $$ (a x-y)(a x+y)=a^{2} x^{2}-y^{2}=a^{2}-1 $$ The numbers $a^{2}-1$ and $a x+y$ are positive, so the number $k=a x-y$ is also positive (and natural). Then $a x+y=\frac{a^{2}-1}{k}$. Adding the two equations, we get $$ 2 a x=\frac{a^{2}-1}{k}+k=a^{2}+\frac{(k-1)\left(k-a^{2}+1\right)}{k} \leqslant a^{2} $$ since $1 \leqslant k \leqslant a^{2}-1$. Thus, $2 a x \leqslant a^{2}$, which means $a / x \geqslant 2$.

What is the minimum value that the sum of the lengths $X A+X B+X C+X D$ can take, where $X-$ is an arbitrary point in the plane? ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_e273449a9e482933432fg-1.jpg?height=269&width=485&top_left_y=2270&top_left_x=177)
# Answer: 12 Solution. By the triangle inequality $X A+X C \geqslant A C$, and equality is achieved when $X$ lies on the segment $A C$. Similarly, $X B+X D \geqslant B D$, and equality is achieved when $X$ lies on the segment $B D$. Thus, $X A+X B+X C+X D \geqslant A C+B D$, and equality is achieved when $X$ is the intersection point of the diagonals. By the Pythagorean theorem $A C=\sqrt{A B^{2}+B C^{2}}=5, B D=\sqrt{A B^{2}+A D^{2}}=7$, hence $A C+B D=12$.

6.1. On the parabola $y=x^{2}-4 x-1$, three different points $A\left(x_{a}, y_{a}\right), B\left(x_{b}, y_{b}\right), C\left(x_{c}, y_{c}\right)$ are taken. It is known that $x_{c}=5$ and $y_{a}=y_{b}$. Find the abscissa of the point of intersection of the medians of triangle $A B C$. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_e273449a9e482933432fg-2.jpg?height=463&width=323&top_left_y=331&top_left_x=204)
# Answer: 3 Solution. Since $y_{a}=y_{b}$, points $A$ and $B$ are symmetric with respect to the axis of the parabola, which means the midpoint $K$ of segment $A B$ has an abscissa equal to the abscissa of the vertex of the parabola $x_{k}=2$. Next, by the property of the median, the point of intersection of the medians $M$ divides the median $C K$ in the ratio $2: 1$, counting from the vertex, so the abscissa $x_{m}$ of point $M$ is found from the equality $x_{c}-x_{k}=3\left(x_{m}-x_{k}\right)$. Finally: $x_{m}=\frac{x_{c}+2 x_{k}}{3}=3$.

7.4. Little One gave Karlson 111 candies. They immediately ate some of them together, $45\%$ of the remaining candies went to Karlson for lunch, and a third of the candies left after lunch were found by Fräulein Bok during cleaning. How many candies did she find?
Answer: 11. First method. Let Carlson have had $n$ candies before lunch. Then, after lunch, there were $\frac{55}{100} n$ left, and Fräulein Bock found $\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{55}{100} n=\frac{11 n}{60}$ candies. Since the number of candies must be an integer, $11 n$ is divisible by 60. Since the numbers 11 and 60 are coprime, $n$ must be a multiple of 60. There is only one number that is divisible by 60 and less than 111, which is 60. Therefore, $n=60$, meaning Fräulein Bock found 11 candies. Similar reasoning: if Carlson had $n$ candies before lunch, then he ate $0.45 n=\frac{9 n}{20}$ candies, and since the numbers 9 and 20 are coprime, $n$ is divisible by 20. After lunch, there were $0.55 n=\frac{11 n}{20}$ candies left, and this number must be divisible by 3. But 11 is not divisible by 3, so $n$ must be divisible by 3. Thus, $n$ is divisible by 3 and on
