# Problem 5. (3 points) Circles $O_{1}, O_{2}$, and $O_{3}$ are located inside circle $O_{4}$ with radius 6, touching it internally, and touching each other externally. Moreover, circles $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ pass through the center of circle $O_{4}$. Find the radius of circle $O_{3}$. #
# Answer: 2 ## Solution: We will solve the problem in general for all cases, specifically proving that if the radius of circle $O_{4}$ is $R$, then the radius of circle $O_{3}$ is $\frac{R}{3}$. Since circles $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ pass through the center of circle $O_{4}$ and are internally tangent to it, for each of them, the center of circle $O_{4}$ is diametrically opposite to the point of tangency. This means that the radius of each of them is $\frac{R}{2}$. Additionally, they touch each other at the center of circle $O_{4}$, which means that the centers of all three circles lie on the same straight line. Now consider the triangle formed by the centers of circles $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ (let's call them $A$ and $B$) and the point of tangency of circles $O_{2}$ and $O_{3}$ (let's call it $C$). By symmetry, it is clear that $A C = B C$. Moreover, point $O$ (the center of circle $O_{4}$) is the midpoint of side $A B$. Therefore, triangle $O A C$ is a right triangle, with $O A = \frac{R}{2}$ and $O C = R$. Now consider point $X$ (the center of circle $O_{3}$). It lies on segment $O C$, so triangle $O A X$ is also a right triangle. Its legs are $O A = \frac{R}{2}$ and $O X = R - r$, and the hypotenuse is $A X = \frac{R}{2} + r$, where $r$ is the desired radius of circle $O_{3}$. By the Pythagorean theorem, $\frac{R^{2}}{4} + R^{2} - 2 R r + r^{2} = \frac{R^{2}}{4} + R r + r^{2} = R^{2}$, from which $3 R r = R^{2}$ and $r = \frac{R}{3}$.

# Problem 2. (3 points) Natural numbers $a$ and $b$ are such that $2a + 3b = \operatorname{LCM}(a, b)$. What values can the number $\frac{\operatorname{LCM}(a, b)}{a}$ take? List all possible options in ascending or descending order, separated by commas. If there are no solutions, write the number 0.
Answer: 0 (no solutions) ## Solution: Let $d=\operatorname{GCD}(a, b)$. Then $a=x d, b=y d, \operatorname{LCM}(a, b)=x y d$, where $x$ and $y$ are coprime. We get $2 x d+3 y d=x y d$. Dividing by $d$ yields $2 x+3 y=x y$. The right side of this equation is divisible by $x$, so $2 x+3 y$ is divisible by $x$, which means $3 y$ is divisible by $x$. Since $x$ and $y$ are coprime, 3 must be divisible by $x$. Therefore, $x=3$ or $x=1$. Similarly, 2 must be divisible by $y$. If $x=3$, the equation becomes $6+3 y=3 y$, which is false. If $x=1$, we get $2+3 y=y$, from which $y$ is negative, which is also impossible. Therefore, there are no solutions.

2. (2 points) Find the minimum value of the expression $x^{2}+4 x \sin y-4 \cos ^{2} y$.
Answer: -4. Solution: Add and subtract $4 \sin ^{2} y$. We get the expression $x^{2}+4 x \sin y+4 \sin ^{2} y-4=(x+2 \sin y)^{2}-4$. It is clear that this expression has a minimum value of -4. Idea of Solution 2: To find the minimum value, we can take the derivatives of this expression with respect to $x$ and $y$ and find the point where both these derivatives are zero. The derivative with respect to $x$ is zero when $x=-2 \sin y$. The derivative with respect to $y$ is $4 x \cos y+8 \sin y \cos y$. It is zero in two cases: when $x=-2 \sin y$ and when $\cos y=0$. After this, it is necessary to determine which of these points are indeed local minima and why a global minimum exists.

Idea of Solution 2: To find the minimum value, we can take the derivatives of this expression with respect to $x$ and $y$ and find the point where both these derivatives are zero.

# Problem 3. (2 points) What is the maximum number of different reduced quadratic equations that can be written on the board, given that any two of them have a common root, but no four have a root common to all.
Answer: 3 Solution: Consider three such equations. There are two cases: 1) These equations have a common root $a$. Then they can be represented in the form $(x-a)(x-b)=0, (x-a)(x-c)=0$ and $(x-a)(x-d)=0$, where $b, c$ and $d$ are their remaining roots (they are not equal to each other, otherwise the equations coincide; one of these numbers can coincide with $a$, which is not important). The fourth equation cannot have the root $a$; then it must have the roots $b, c$ and $d$ simultaneously, which means it is not quadratic. We get a contradiction. 2) The equations do not have a common root. Then they can be represented as $(x-a)(x-b)=0$, $(x-a)(x-c)=0$ and $(x-b)(x-c)=0$. In this case, the fourth equation can only have one of the roots $a, b$ and $c$, otherwise it coincides with one of the previously described. If it has a root, for example, $a$, then it cannot have a common root with $(x-$ $b)(x-c)=0$. Again, we get a contradiction. Therefore, there cannot be more than three different equations. An example can easily be constructed for the first case by taking arbitrary numbers $a, b, c, d$. #

# Problem 3. (2 points) What is the maximum number of different reduced quadratic equations that can be written on the board, given that any two of them have a common root, but no five have a root common to all.
Answer: 4 ## Solution: Consider 4 such equations. There are two cases: 1) These equations have a common root $a$. Then they can be represented in the form $(x-a)(x-b)=0,(x-a)(x-c)=0,(x-a)(x-d)=0$ and $(x-a)(x-e)=0$, where $b, c, d$ and $e$ are their remaining roots (they are not equal to each other, otherwise the equations coincide; one of these numbers can coincide with $a$, which is not important). The fifth equation cannot have the root $a$; then it must have the roots $b, c, d$ and $e$ simultaneously, which means it is not quadratic. This leads to a contradiction. 2) The equations do not have a common root. Then three of them can be represented as $(x-$ $a)(x-b)=0,(x-a)(x-c)=0$ and $(x-b)(x-c)=0$. In this case, the fourth equation can only have one of the roots $a, b$ and $c$, otherwise it coincides with one of the previously described equations. If it has a root, for example, $a$, then it cannot have a common root with $(x-$ b) $(x-c)=0$. Again, we get a contradiction. Therefore, in this case, there cannot be more than three different equations. An example can easily be constructed for the first case by taking arbitrary numbers $a, b, c, d$ and $e$.

Problem 2. (3 points) Alice the Fox thought of a two-digit number and told Pinocchio that this number is divisible by $2, 3, 4, 5$, and $6$. However, Pinocchio found out that exactly two of these five statements are actually false. What numbers could Alice the Fox have thought of? In your answer, indicate the number of possible variants.
# Answer: 8 ## Solution: If a number is not divisible by 2, then it is not divisible by 4 or 6 either, and we already have three false statements. Therefore, the number must be divisible by 2. If an even number is divisible by 3, it is also divisible by 6, which means the statements about divisibility by 4 and 5 are false. If the number is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 6, and the statements about divisibility by 4 and 5 should be true instead. In the first case, we get numbers that are divisible by 6 but not by 4 or 5. There are exactly five such two-digit numbers: 18, 42, 54, 66, and 78. In the second case, we get numbers that are divisible by 20 but not by 3. There are three such numbers: 20, 40, and 80. In total, we have 8 numbers.

On the side $A C$, points $B_{1}$ and $B_{2}$ are marked such that $A B_{1}=9, C B_{2}=6$. Segments $A A_{1}$ and $B B_{1}$ intersect at point $K$, and $A A_{2}$ and $B B_{2}$ intersect at point $L$. Points $K, L$ and $C$ lie on the same line. Find $B_{1} B_{2}$.
# Answer: 12 ## Solution: Let $M$ be the point of intersection of line $KL$ and side $AB$. We write two Ceva's theorems, for point $K$ and for point $L$: $$ \frac{AM}{MB} \cdot \frac{BA_1}{A_1C} \cdot \frac{CB_1}{B_1A}=1 ; \quad \frac{AM}{MB} \cdot \frac{BA_2}{A_2C} \cdot \frac{CB_2}{B_2A}=1 $$ From this, we get $\frac{BA_1}{A_1C} \cdot \frac{CB_1}{B_1A}=\frac{BA_2}{A_2C} \cdot \frac{CB_2}{B_2A}$. Four segments in this equality are known to us. $A_1C = A_2C \pm A_1A_2 = A_2C + A_1A_2$, since $A_1A_2 > A_2C$. Similarly, $BA_2 = BA_1 + A_1A_2$. For the other two segments, $AB_2 = AB_1 \pm B_1B_2$ and $CB_1 = CB_2 \pm B_1B_2$ (the signs $\pm$ are the same). Substituting, we get $$ \begin{gathered} \frac{BA_1}{A_2C + A_1A_2} \cdot \frac{CB_2 \pm B_1B_2}{B_1A} = \frac{BA_1 + A_1A_2}{A_2C} \cdot \frac{CB_2}{AB_1 \pm B_1B_2} \\ (CB_2 \pm B_1B_2)(AB_1 \pm B_1B_2) = \frac{(BA_1 + A_1A_2)CB_2(A_2C + A_1A_2)B_1A}{A_2C \cdot BA_1} \\ (6 \pm B_1B_2)(9 \pm B_1B_2) = \frac{14 \cdot 6 \cdot 12 \cdot 9}{4 \cdot 6} = 378 \end{gathered} $$ Since $378 > 6 \cdot 9$, the signs $\pm$ are resolved as +, and we get the quadratic equation $B_1B_2^2 + 15B_1B_2 - 324 = 0$. This equation has roots 12 and -27, of which we are interested in the positive one.

# Answer: -6 ## Solution: Rewrite the condition as $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+z=5$ and write the inequality for the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean of these five numbers: $$ 1=\frac{\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+z}{5} \leqslant \sqrt{\frac{\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}+z^{2}}{5}}=\sqrt{\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}+2 z^{2}}{10}} $$ from which $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 z^{2} \geqslant 10$. Now write the inequality for the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean of these same numbers: $$ 1=\frac{\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+\frac{y}{2}+z}{5} \geqslant \sqrt[5]{\frac{x}{2} \cdot \frac{x}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{2} \cdot z} $$ from which $x^{2} y^{2} z \leqslant 16$. Therefore, $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 z^{2}-x^{2} y^{2} z \geqslant 10-16=-6$. The minimum is achieved when all numbers for which the inequalities of means are applied are equal, that is, $x=y=2$, $z=1$. #

6. (3 points) On a $3 \times 3$ chessboard, there are knights, who always tell the truth, and liars, who always lie. Each of them said: "Among my neighbors, there are exactly three liars." How many liars are on the board? Neighbors are considered to be people on cells that share a common side.
Answer: 5. Solution: The people in the corner cells are obviously liars: they simply do not have three neighbors. If the person in the center is a knight, then all the people in the side cells are also liars. But in this case, the knight has 4 liar neighbors, not three. This leads to a contradiction. If the person in the center is a liar, then the people in the side cells each have three liar neighbors, so they are knights. Now we check that the person in the center is indeed a liar: they do not have three liar neighbors.

Answer: 6. Solution: On the corner cells, liars are obviously standing: they simply do not have three neighbors. A situation where all people on the board are liars is impossible, as it would mean that four of these liars are telling the truth. Therefore, there is at least one knight. Then all his neighbors are liars, and we get the following situation (accurate up to symmetry): | $L$ | $\mathrm{P}$ | $L$ | $L$ | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | $L$ | $L$ | $?$ | $L$ | The cell marked with a question mark can only be a knight, since all his neighbors are liars. Don't forget to check that the left and upper neighbors of this knight have only two liar neighbors, meaning they are indeed lying. Thus, we end up with 6 liars.

6. (3 points) Given the cryptarithm: ЖАЛО + ЛОЖА = ОСЕНЬ. Identical letters represent identical digits, different letters represent different digits. Find the value of the letter А.
Answer: 8 Solution: The rebus can be rewritten as ОСЕНЬ $=($ ЖА + ЛО $) \cdot 101$. First, this means that the last digit of ЖА + ЛО is Ь. Second, if ЖА + ЛО $<100$, the result will be a four-digit number. Let $Ж А+Л О=1 Х Ь$, where $X$ is some digit. Then ОСЕНЬ $=1 Х Ь 00+1 Х Ь$. If $\mathrm{b}<9$, then the second and fourth digits of this number should match, but they do not. Therefore, $\mathrm{b}=9$. Consequently, $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{O}=9$. But О is 1, so А is 8. There are many examples, for instance, $7861+6178=14039$. 7. (4 points) Alice and Bob each have three equal segments. First, Alice breaks one of the segments into two unequal parts. Then, Bob breaks another of the original segments into any two parts. As a result, there are five segments, from which ten sets of three segments can be chosen. Alice wins if at least 4 of these ten sets form a triangle. Otherwise, Bob wins. Who will win if both players play optimally? Answer: Bob wins. Solution: Let the original segments have a length of 1, and Alice breaks one of the segments into parts $x$ and $1-x$, with $x<1-x$ for definiteness. Then Bob needs to break another segment into parts $1-y$ and $y$ such that $y$ is very small, specifically, the inequalities $y<x$, $y<(1-x)-x$, and $y<(1-y)-(1-x)$, or $2 y<x$, are satisfied. Clearly, he can choose such a $y$. Using the triangle inequality: to form a triangle, it is necessary and sufficient that the largest side of the triangle is less than the sum of the other two. With such a choice of $y$, it is not greater than the difference between any two other segments, and therefore cannot form a triangle with any of them. There are exactly 6 sets of three segments that include the segment $y$. Additionally, the remaining segment of length 1 and the segments Alice obtained also do not form a triangle. This is the seventh set of segments that does not form a triangle. Thus, Alice is left with only 3 sets of segments that can form a triangle, and she loses.

6. (3 points) Given the cryptarithm: RIVER + SQUARE = ABVAD. Identical letters represent identical digits, different letters represent different digits. Find the value of the letter B.
Answer: 2 Solution: The rebus can be rewritten as ABVAD $=(\mathrm{KA}+\mathrm{PE}) \cdot 101$. First, this means that the last digit of $\mathrm{KA}+\mathrm{PE}$ is D. Second, if $\mathrm{KA}+\mathrm{PE}<100$, the result will be a four-digit number. Let $\mathrm{KA}+\mathrm{PE}=1X$D, where $X$ is some digit. Then ABVAD $=1X$D$00+1X$D. If D $<9$, then the second and fourth digits of this number should match, but they do not. Therefore, D $=9$ and the second digit of the number ABVAD is one more than the fourth. But A is 1, so B is 2. There are many examples, for instance, $5861+6158=12019$. 7. (4 points) Alice and Bob have three equal segments. First, Alice breaks one of the segments into two parts. Then, Bob breaks another of the original segments into two arbitrary parts. As a result, five segments are obtained, from which ten ways to choose three segments are possible. Alice wins if at least 4 of these ten ways give triples of segments that form a triangle. Otherwise, Bob wins. Who will win with correct play by both opponents? Answer: Alice wins. Solution: We use the triangle inequality: to form a triangle, it is necessary and sufficient that the largest side of the triangle is less than the sum of the other two. Let the original segments have a length of 1. Alice breaks one of the segments into two equal parts. Let Bob break his segment into parts of length $x$ and $1-x$, and for definiteness, let $x<1-x$. $1-x<\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$, so this triple forms a triangle. Also, the triple formed by Alice's segments and Bob's smaller segment forms a triangle. Two more suitable triples are obtained when we take the segments $1,1-x$ and $\frac{1}{2}$.

# Problem 6. (3 points) Natural numbers $x, y, z$ are such that $\operatorname{GCD}(\operatorname{LCM}(x, y), z) \cdot \operatorname{LCM}(\operatorname{GCD}(x, y), z)=1400$. What is the greatest value that $\operatorname{GCD}(\operatorname{LCM}(x, y), z)$ can take? #
# Answer: 10 ## Solution: Notice that $\operatorname{LCM}(\operatorname{GCD}(x, y), z)$ is divisible by $z$, and $z$ is divisible by $\operatorname{GCD}(\operatorname{LCM}(x, y), z)$, so $\operatorname{LCM}(\operatorname{GCD}(x, y), z)$ is divisible by $\operatorname{GCD}(\operatorname{LCM}(x, y), z)$. $1400=2^{3} \cdot 5^{2} \cdot 7$ and in the second factor, each prime number appears with an exponent no less than in the first. Therefore, the maximum possible value of $\operatorname{GCD}(\operatorname{LCM}(x, y), z)$ is $2 \cdot 5=10$. This value is achieved when $x=y=10, z=140$.

Therefore, $f(x)=c x^{2}+e$ and $f(\sqrt{3})-f(\sqrt{2})=c$. Then $f(\sqrt{10})-f(\sqrt{7})=10 c+e-(7 c+e)=3 c=12$.

# Problem 7. (3 points) From point $K$ on side $A C$ of triangle $A B C$, perpendiculars $K L_{1}$ and $K M_{1}$ were dropped to sides $A B$ and $B C$ respectively. From point $L_{1}$, a perpendicular $L_{1} L_{2}$ was dropped to $B C$, and from point $M_{1}$, a perpendicular $M_{1} M_{2}$ was dropped to $A B$. It turned out that triangles $B L_{1} M_{1}$ and $B L_{2} M_{2}$ are similar (point $L_{1}$ in the first triangle corresponds to point $M_{2}$ in the second). In addition, $B L_{2}=6$ and $L_{2} M_{1}=4$. Find $L_{1} L_{2}$.
# Answer: 8 ## Solution: Notice that the quadrilateral $L_{1} M_{2} L_{2} M_{1}$ is cyclic, since $\angle L_{1} M_{2} M_{1}=\angle L_{1} L_{2} M_{1}=$ $90^{\circ}$. Therefore, $\angle B M_{2} L_{2}=180^{\circ}-\angle L_{1} M_{2} L_{2}=\angle L_{2} M_{1} L_{1}=\angle B M_{1} L_{1}$. Similarly, $\angle B L_{2} M_{2}=\angle B L_{1} M_{1}$, so triangles $B L_{1} M_{1}$ and $B L_{2} M_{2}$ are similar, with point $L_{1}$ in the first triangle corresponding to point $L_{2}$ in the second. However, the problem states that they are similar in another way, which means these two triangles are isosceles. From this, we get $B L_{1}=B M_{1}=B L_{2}+L_{2} M_{1}$ and, by the Pythagorean theorem, we find $L_{1} L_{2}=\sqrt{B L_{1}^{2}-B L_{2}^{2}}=\sqrt{\left(B L_{2}+L_{2} M_{1}\right)^{2}-B L_{2}^{2}}$.

# Answer: 4 ## Solution: Since the quadratic polynomial $f(x)+g(x)$ has a unique root 5, it can be represented as $a(x-5)^{2}$, where $a$ is precisely the leading coefficient we are looking for. Additionally, the value of this quadratic polynomial at the point 3 is equal to the sum of the values of the polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, which is 16. Thus, $a \cdot(-2)^{2}=16$, from which we get $a=4$.

Answer: 5 ## Solution: $(a+b+c)^{3}-(a+b+c)\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)=2\left(a^{2} b+a^{2} c+b^{2} a+b^{2} c+c^{2} a+c^{2} b+3 a b c\right)$. Let $a+b+c$ be $x$, substitute the known values of the expressions from the condition, and we get the equation $x^{3}-13 x-60=0$. It is not hard to notice that the number 5 is a root of this equation. Dividing $x^{3}-13 x-60$ by $x-5$, we get $x^{2}+5 x+12$. This quadratic has no roots, so 5 is the only possible answer.

# Answer: 10 ## Solution: Since circles $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ touch circle $O_{3}$ at points $A$ and $B$ respectively and pass through its center $O$, $AO$ and $BO$ are their diameters. Therefore, angles $\angle OCA$ and $\angle OCB$ are right angles. These cannot be the same angle, as this would mean that circles $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ coincide, so they are adjacent angles. Right triangles $OCA$ and $OCB$ are equal by the leg $OC$ and hypotenuses. Therefore, $AB = 2AC = 2\sqrt{OA^2 - OC^2} = 2\sqrt{13^2 - 12^2} = 10$.

# Problem 8. (5 points) 32 volleyball teams participate in a tournament according to the following scheme. In each round, all remaining teams are randomly paired; if the number of teams is odd, one team skips this round. In each pair, one team wins and the other loses, as there are no draws in volleyball. After three losses, a team is eliminated from the tournament. When all teams except one are eliminated, this team is declared the winner and the tournament ends. What is the minimum number of rounds the tournament can last?
# Solution: For all teams to be eliminated except one, they must suffer at least 93 losses, meaning at least 93 matches must be played. We also note that after each round, the number of teams decreases by at most half, because no more than half of the teams lose. In particular, in the final round, only 2 teams could have participated, and they played one match. In the penultimate round, a maximum of 4 teams participated and played a maximum of 2 matches. One round before that, a maximum of 4 matches were played, and another round before that, a maximum of 8. In total, in the last 4 rounds, no more than 15 matches were played. This means that at least 78 matches were played before that. In each of the remaining rounds, no more than 16 matches were played, so there were at least 5 such rounds. In total, we get at least $4+5=9$ rounds. The teams could manage in 9 rounds. Indeed, in the first 4 rounds, the teams could pair up, and in each pair, they could inflict 2 losses on each other. After this, each team has one loss left, and we get a standard Olympic system of 5 rounds, in each of which half of the teams are eliminated. Answer: 9

# Problem 2. (2 points) In a positive non-constant geometric progression, the arithmetic mean of the second, seventh, and ninth terms is equal to some term of this progression. What is the minimum possible number of this term?
Answer: 3 Solution: The second element is either the larger or the smaller of the three specified, so it cannot be equal to the arithmetic mean of all three. The first element is even less suitable. To prove that the answer "3" is possible, let's introduce the notation: let $b_{n}=$ $b q^{n-1}$. Then we need to solve the equation $3 b q^{2}=b q+b q^{6}+b q^{8}$. Simplifying it, we get $q^{7}+q^{5}-$ $3 q+1=0$. This equation has a root $q=1$, but it does not suit us because the progression is not constant. $q^{7}+q^{5}-3 q+1=(q-1)\left(q^{6}+q^{5}+2 q^{4}+2 q^{3}+q^{2}+2 q-1\right)$. The second factor is negative at $q=0$ and positive at $q=1$, so this expression has a root between zero and one. Thus, we can choose the common ratio of the progression and take any positive number as the first term for the answer 3.

4. (3 points) Prove that for $n=6002$ the sum of binomial coefficients with a step of 6, i.e., $C_{n}^{1}+C_{n}^{7}+\ldots+C_{n}^{n-1}$, gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 3. $C_{n}^{k}-$ the number of ways to choose $k$ items from $n$, which is $\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ if $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n$ and 0 in all other cases.
# Solution: It is easy to verify that $C_{n}^{k}=C_{n-3}^{k-3}+3 C_{n-3}^{k-2}+3 C_{n-3}^{k-1}+C_{n-3}^{k}$, therefore, $C_{n}^{k}$ gives the same remainder when divided by 3 as $C_{n-3}^{k-3}+C_{n-3}^{k}$. Thus, $C_{n}^{1}+C_{n}^{7}+\ldots+C_{n}^{n-1}$ gives the same remainder when divided by 3 as $C_{n-3}^{1}+C_{n-3}^{4}+\ldots+$ $C_{n-3}^{n-7}+C_{n-3}^{n-4}$ (here the two extreme terms, equal to 0, are discarded). Let's denote this sum as $S_{n-3}$. Similarly, we transition to $2 C_{n-6}^{1}+2 C_{n-3}^{4}+\ldots+2 C_{n-3}^{n-7}+2 C_{n-3}^{n-4}=2 S_{n-6}$. Applying this procedure 1998 more times, we get that the formula from the condition gives the same remainder when divided by 3 as $2^{1999} S_{2}=4^{999} \cdot 2 C_{2}^{1}=4^{1000}$, which gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 3.

2. (2 points) Boys were collecting apples. Each collected either 10 apples or $10\%$ of the total number of apples collected, and there were both types. What is the smallest number of boys there could have been?
# Answer: 6 Solution: Example: one boy collected 10 apples, the rest collected 2 each, totaling 20. Evaluation: Let's prove that there could not have been fewer boys. We know that $10\%$ of the total number of apples is an integer, let's denote it as $k$. Suppose $n$ people collected ten apples each, and $m$ people collected $10\%$ each, then $10n = (10-m)k$, which means $10n$ is divisible by $10-m$. When $m=1$ or $m=3$, we get that $10n$ is divisible by 9 or 7, respectively, meaning $n$ is divisible by 9 or 7, which is too large. When $m=2$ or $m=4$, we get that $10n$ is divisible by 8 or 6, respectively, meaning $n$ is divisible by 4 or 3, and $m+n \geqslant 6$. When $m \geqslant 5$, the total number of boys is at least 1 more, meaning, again, at least 6.

Answer: $x=y=z=0$ or $x=-24, y=\frac{24}{5}, y=\frac{24}{7}$ Solution: It is easy to verify that if one of the variables is 0, then the others are also 0. Otherwise, the system can be transformed into $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{z} \\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{z}+\frac{1}{y}\end{array}\right.$ By adding the first two equations and subtracting the last one, we get $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{x}$, from which $-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{2}{x}$, that is, $x=-24$. Similarly, we find the other unknowns.

65. What is the smallest degree that a polynomial $P$ can have if it is known that there exists an integer $b$ such that $A_{P}$ contains elements both greater and less than $b$, but does not contain $b$?
65. Answer: 4. For example, consider the polynomial $P(x)=(x-3)(x-1)(x+1)(x+3)$. It is even. Therefore, if $c \neq P(0)$, then $l_{P}(c)$ is even. Therefore, in $A$ there can only be one odd number, namely, $l_{P}(P(0))$. Thus, $b=1$ or $b=3$ is the desired number, since $0,4 \in A_{P}$. Why can't the degree be less? Consider, for example, a cubic polynomial $P$. Since its derivative is a quadratic polynomial, it has no more than two roots, and thus $P$ has no more than three intervals of monotonicity, specifically 1 or 3. Let's consider the most complex case immediately - when $P$ has three intervals of monotonicity. Suppose it has a local minimum $m$ and a local maximum $M$. Then for $x \in(-\infty, m) \cup(M,+\infty)$, $l_{P}(x)=1$, $l_{P}(m)=l_{P}(M)=2$, and for $x \in(m, M)$, $l_{P}(x)=3$. The other cases are even simpler to analyze.

5. The number 2015 was divided into 12 addends, after which all numbers that can be obtained by adding some of these addends (from one to nine) were written down. What is the minimum number of numbers that could have been written down?
5. Answer: 10 Example: Let's break down 2015 into 11 numbers of 155 and one number of 310. In this case, the sum of the addends can range from $155 \times 1$ to $155 \times 10$. We will prove that it is impossible to get fewer than 10 different numbers: first, note that 2015 is not divisible by 12, so we will have at least 2 different numbers. Arrange all the numbers in ascending order. First, select only the first number, then the first and second, and so on—finally, select the first 9 numbers—this gives us 9 different sums. Now, take the last 9 numbers—the new sum exceeds all previous sums, so there are at least 10 different numbers on the board.

4. Seven natives from several tribes are sitting in a circle by the fire. Each one says to the neighbor on their left: “Among the other five, there are no members of my tribe.” It is known that the natives lie to foreigners and tell the truth to their own. How many tribes are represented around the fire?
Solution. If there are at least 4 natives from one tribe, then two of them sit next to each other, and one of them will lie to the other, although they should tell the truth. If there is only one native from a certain tribe, then he tells the truth to his left neighbor, although he should lie. Therefore, each tribe has two or three representatives. Then, with two tribes, there are no more than $3+3=6$, so there are exactly three tribes.

5. There are 20 chocolate candies on the table. Masha and Bear are playing a game according to the following rules. Players take turns. In one move, a player can take one or several candies from the table and eat them. Masha goes first, but on this move, she cannot take all the candies. In all other moves, players cannot take more candies than anyone has already taken in one move. The player who takes the last candy wins. For this, he will get a whole cake! Who among the players can ensure their victory?
Solution. Masha will win if she eats 4 candies on her first move. Let's arrange the candies in a row, number them, and assume that the players take candies in a row from left to right. Suppose Masha eats one candy on her first move. In this case, she will lose, as until the end of the game, the players will take one candy each, and all even-numbered candies, including the last 20th candy, will go to the Bear. Suppose Masha eats two candies on her first move. Then the Bear will take two candies until Masha takes one candy. If Masha never takes one candy, the Bear will take candies 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20 and win. If Masha takes one candy, its number will be odd. Then the players will take one candy each in turn, and the Bear will get candies with even numbers. Masha will lose again. Suppose Masha eats three candies on her first move. Then the Bear will take one candy on his first move, and with the remaining moves, he will again eat all the remaining even-numbered candies, and Masha will lose. Suppose Masha eats 4 candies on her first move. Then Masha will act as follows: if the Bear eats 4 candies, Masha will also eat 4; if the Bear eats 3 candies, Masha will eat one; if the Bear eats 2 candies, Masha will also eat 2; if the Bear eats one candy, Masha will also eat one. If the Bear always takes 4 candies, Masha will eat candies 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20 and win. After the Bear eats three or one candy, an odd number of candies will remain on the table, and all the remaining candies with even numbers will go to Masha. Masha will win again. After the Bear eats two candies, 20 - 4 - 2 = 14 or 20 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 2 = 6 candies will remain on the table. Then the players will eat two candies each (the case with one candy we have already discussed), and Masha will get the 19th and 20th candies. Therefore, in this game, Masha will win if she eats 4 candies on her first move.

7. Petya thought of a 9-digit number obtained by rearranging the digits of the number 123456789. Vitya is trying to guess it. For this, he chooses any 9-digit number (possibly with repeated digits and zeros) and tells it to Petya, who then responds with how many digits of this number match the ones in his thought number. Can Vitya find out the first digit of Petya's number in no more than 4 moves? (A match is a digit standing in the same place.)
Solution. Vitya's first move is to name the number 122222 222. Then Petya can only respond with 0, 1, or 2. If Petya answers 0, then neither the one nor the two hit their places. This means the two must be in the first position. There's no need to ask further. If Petya answers 2, then both the one and the two hit their places. This means the one is in the first position. There's no need to ask further. If Petya answers 1, then neither the one nor the two can be in the first position. In this case, Vitya will name the next number 344444444. After Petya's response, Vitya will either learn the first digit of Petya's number or understand that it is neither a three nor a four. Next, Vitya will name the numbers 566666666 and 788888888 until he learns the first digit. If Petya also answers 1 to the number 788888888, then the first digit of his number will be the only remaining unchecked digit - 9.

6. Given a string of 2021 letters A and B. Consider the longest palindromic substring. What is its minimum possible length? A palindrome is a string that reads the same from right to left and from left to right.
Solution. The minimum possible length of the maximum palindrome is 4. We will prove that it cannot be less than 4. Consider the 5 letters in the center of the string. If these are alternating letters, then it is a palindrome of length 5. Suppose among these five letters there are two identical letters standing next to each other. Take the maximal contiguous block of identical letters. It is at least 2 in length, and adding one opposite letter on each side, we get 4 (if there are no other letters on the sides, then we have reached the end of the string and there are many identical letters in a row, since we started from the center of the string). Let's provide an example of a string where the maximum palindrome has a length of 4. This is a string where the sequence ABABAB repeats periodically: ABABABABABABABABABAB.... By checking all possible positions of the centers of palindromes, one can verify that there are no palindromes longer than 4 in this string. Due to the periodicity of the string, only a small number of cases need to be checked. Comments. The specified example is unique up to shift and reflection.

3. On the bus route, there are only four stops - "Initial", "First", "Final", and "Last". At the first two stops, passengers only got on, and at the remaining stops, they only got off. It turned out that 30 passengers got on at the "Initial" stop, and 14 passengers got off at the "Last" stop. At the "First" stop, three times fewer passengers got on than got off at the "Final" stop. Which passengers are more - those traveling from "Initial" to "Last", or those traveling from "First" to "Final", and by how many? Solution:
Answer: Those traveling from "First" to "Final" are six more. Let $x$ be the number of people who got on at "First". Then, $3x$ people got off at "Final". Since the number of people getting on equals the number of people getting off, we have $30 + x = 3x + 14$, from which $x = 8$. Let $y$ be the number of people traveling from "Initial" to "Final". Then, the number of people traveling from "Initial" to "Final" is $8 - y$. Together with those traveling from "First" to "Final", they make up 14 people. Therefore, the number of people traveling from "First" to "Final" is $14 - 8 + y = 6 + y$. That is, six more people are traveling from "First" to "Final" than from "Initial" to "Final".

4. Baron Munchausen placed a horse in some cells of an $N \times N$ board. He claims that no one will find two different $4 \times 4$ squares on this board (with sides along the grid lines) with the same number of horses. For what largest $N$ can his words be true? #
# Solution: Answer: $N=7$. The number of knights in a $4 \times 4$ square can range from 0 to 16, i.e., there are 17 possible variants. The number of $4 \times 4$ squares on an $N \times N$ board is $(N-3)^{2}$ (since the top-left cell of the square can occupy positions from the far left to the fourth from the right horizontally, and the same vertically). To avoid repetitions, the number of squares must be no more than 17, i.e., $(N-3)^{2} \leqslant 17$. Therefore, $N$ cannot be greater than seven, since then $(N-3)^{2} \geqslant(8-3)^{2}=25>17$. For $N=7$, an example can be constructed as shown on the right (knights are placed in the shaded cells, and the number of knights in each square is indicated in the top-left cell of each $4 \times 4$ square). | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | | | | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | | | | | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | | | | | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

6. In a $4 \times 4$ square, cells are colored in several colors such that in any $1 \times 3$ rectangle, there are two cells of the same color. What is the maximum number of colors that can be used?
Solution. Maximum 9 colors. See example in the picture. We will prove that more is not possible. Any row (row or column) gives a maximum of three colors, so the first row + first column will give a maximum of $3+3-1=5$ colors. We will prove that the remaining $3 \times 3$ square will give a maximum of 4 colors. Indeed, suppose we used 5 colors in it. Since in one row there are no more than two different colors, there will be two rows in which 4 different colors are used, 2 colors in each row. Then in the remaining row, there will be at least one cell of the fifth color. In the column containing this cell, all cells will be of different colors. Contradiction. Thus, on the entire board, there are no more than $4+5=9$ different colors. Criteria. Full solution (there is an estimate and there is an example) - 7 points. Of these: There is an example for 9 colors - 2 points. Full proof of the estimate - 5 points, of which: 2 points for one row + one column and 3 points for the proof that the $3 \times 3$ square will give a maximum of 4 colors. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_0bb07e0f32a6824c13e1g-2.jpg?height=303&width=292&top_left_y=1670&top_left_x=1727)

7. In the company, there are elves, fairies, and gnomes. Each elf is friends with all fairies except for three, and each fairy is friends with twice as many elves. Each elf is friends with exactly three gnomes, and each fairy is friends with all gnomes. Each gnome is friends with exactly half of the elves and fairies combined. How many gnomes are there in the company?
Solution. Answer: 12. Let $n$ be the number of elves, $m$ be the number of fairies, and $k$ be the number of gnomes. Then the number of friendly pairs "elf-fairy" is $n(m-3)$, and "fairy-elf" is $-m \cdot 2(m-3)$. But these are the same pairs, therefore, $$ n(m-3)=2 m(m-3) $$ From which, $n=2 m$. Counting the friendly pairs with gnomes, we arrive at the equation $$ k \cdot \frac{n+m}{2}=3 n+m k $$ Substituting $n=2 m$, we get $$ k \cdot \frac{3}{2} m=6 m+m k $$ Dividing by $m$, we get $k=12$.

1.4. Let initially each island is inhabited by one colony, and let one of the islands have $d$ neighboring islands. What can the maximum possible number of colonies that can settle on this island be equal to?
Solution. Answer: $d+1$. Example. We will prove that in a vertex of degree $d$, $d+1$ colonies can gather. Suspend the tree from this vertex as the root and prove that in each vertex from which $e$ edges go down, $e+1$ colonies can gather, conducting only migrations within its subtree. We will prove this by "induction from the lower vertices to the upper ones." For leaves, the statement is obvious (they already have one colony), and for any other vertex, it is sufficient to gather the required number of colonies in its immediate children, after which perform one migration for each of them. Estimate. We will show that any available distribution of numbers on the tree can be obtained by organizing migrations so that each colony does not move further than to a neighboring island. From this, it will follow that the answer is no more than $d+1$. We prove this by induction on the number of migrations. Base case - zero migrations, is obvious. Inductive step. Suppose a migration is about to occur from island $v$. By the inductive hypothesis, all colonies on it are from it and neighboring islands. Since a migration is possible, by the inductive hypothesis, there are colonies on the island from at least $\operatorname{deg} v-1$ neighboring islands; we will send them back to their islands. If there is a colony from the remaining neighboring island, we will also send it back, and if there is a colony from the island itself, we will send it to any of the neighboring islands. ## Plot 2. Two circles inscribed in an angle with vertex $R$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. A line through $A$ intersects the smaller circle at point $C$ and the larger circle at point $D$. It turns out that $A B=A C=A D$.

2. The gnomes went to work, and Snow White is feeling lonely. She laid out a pile of 36 stones on the table. Every minute, Snow White splits one of the existing piles into two, and then adds a new stone to one of them. After some time, she had seven piles, each with an equal number of stones. How many stones ended up in each pile?
Solution. There will be seven piles after six moves. After six moves, there will be $36+6=42$ stones - meaning, 6 stones in each pile.

5. Seven people stood in a circle, each of whom is either a knight, who always tells the truth, or a liar, who always lies, or a traveler, who alternates between truth and lies. The first and second said in unison: "Among us there is exactly 1 liar," the second and third: "Among us there are exactly 2 knights," the third and fourth: "Among us there are exactly 3 liars," $\vdots$ the sixth and seventh: "Among us there are exactly 6 knights," the seventh and first: "Among us there are exactly 7 liars." Who is who among them?
Solution. If all 7 statements are lies, then everyone lied, meaning everyone is a liar, and then 7 and 1 told the truth. This means that at least one statement is true. On the other hand, there are no more than 2 true statements (one about the liars, the other about the knights). That is, there are either 0 or 1 knights, but the latter is impossible, since everyone said there are more than 1 knight. Therefore, there are no knights, but someone told the truth. This means the statement about the liars was true, and it was told by two visitors. Hence, 5 and 6 are visitors, and all others are liars.

6. When the child was born, their parents were not yet 40 years old, but they were already adults. When the child turned 2 years old, the age of exactly one of the parents was divisible by 2; when the child turned 3 years old, the age of exactly one of the parents was divisible by 3, and so on. How long could such a pattern have continued?
Solution. The condition means that at the moment of the child's birth, the age of exactly one of the parents was divisible by 2, the age of exactly one of the parents - by 3, and so on (as long as this pattern continued). Let one of the parents be 24 years old, and the other 35 years old. Then this pattern could continue until the child turned 8. Beyond that, the pattern must break. Indeed, suppose the child turned 9, and the pattern continues. Then at the moment of the child's birth, exactly one of the parents had an even number of years, exactly one - a multiple of 3, exactly one - a multiple of 6, exactly one - a multiple of 8, and exactly one - a multiple of 9. So it is the same parent, and they must be at least 72 years old, i.e., they are too old.

6. In triangle $A B C$, angle $A$ is equal to $50^{\circ}, B H$ is the altitude. Point $M$ on $B C$ is such that $B M=B H$. The perpendicular bisector of segment $M C$ intersects $A C$ at point $K$. It turns out that $A C=2 \cdot H K$. Find the angles of triangle $A B C$.
Solution. Draw a perpendicular to $BC$ from point $M$. Let $K^{\prime}$ be the point of its intersection with $AC$. Then the segment $MK$ is the midline in $\triangle K^{\prime}MC$, that is, $K^{\prime}K = KC$. From the fact that $HK = KC + AH$, we get $AH = HK^{\prime}$. Right triangles $BHA$ and $BHK^{\prime}$ are equal by two legs, $BHK^{\prime}$ and $BMK^{\prime}$ are equal by a leg and hypotenuse. Then $$ \angle B = 3 \angle AHB = 3 \cdot (90^{\circ} - 50^{\circ}) = 120^{\circ} \text{.} $$ The remaining angle $C$ is $$ 180^{\circ} - 50^{\circ} - 120^{\circ} = 10^{\circ} $$

1. Konstantin pronounced the names of all natural numbers from 180 to 220 inclusive, while Mikhail - from 191 to 231 inclusive. Who pronounced more words and by how many?
Solution. Let's remove the numbers that both have: 191-220. Then each will have 11 numbers left: Konstantin has 180-190, and Mikhail has 221-231. Note that in the names of the numbers 181-189, 221-229, and 231, there are three words each, while in 180, 190, and 230, there are two words each. This means that Mikhail said one more word.

5. At the festival "Hobbits - for cultural diversity!", more than 20 participants arrived. A correspondent found out that among any 15 participants of the festival, there are at least 4 humans and at least 5 elves. How many hobbits participated in the festival? Provide all possible answers and prove that there are no others.
Solution. Suppose there is at least one hobbit. If there are 10 people among the participants, then in their company with the hobbit and 4 other participants, there will not be 5 elves, which contradicts the condition. Therefore, there are no more than 9 people. Since the total number of participants is more than 20, there will be 12 participants who are not people. But then, by adding 3 participants to them, we will get a company that contradicts the condition. This means that there were no hobbits at all.

5. Yesterday at the market, with one hundred tugriks you could buy 9 gingerbreads and 7 pastries (and even get some change), but today this amount is no longer enough. However, with the same one hundred tugriks today, you can buy two gingerbreads and 11 pastries (also with some change), but yesterday this amount would not have been enough. A gingerbread and a pastry cost a whole number of tugriks, and the price of each sweet changed by no more than one tugrik overnight. $A$ How much does one gingerbread cost today?
Solution. Note that something has become more expensive (otherwise, the situation where we could buy a set yesterday but not today could not have arisen), and another sweet has become cheaper for similar reasons. Nine cookies and seven cakes together have become more expensive, so the cookie has become more expensive, and the cake has become cheaper. This set has become 2 tugriks more expensive overnight, i.e., it cost 99 tugriks yesterday and 101 tugriks today. Thus, today 9 cookies = 101 tugriks - 7 cakes, i.e., by subtracting a multiple of 7 from 101, we should get a number that is a multiple of 9. This is only possible in one case: 101 - 56 = 45. Then a cookie today costs 5 tugriks, and a cake costs 8 tugriks.
