G4 Let $S$ be a point inside $\varangle p O q$, and let $k$ be a circle which contains $S$ and touches the legs $O p$ and $O q$ in points $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Straight line $s$ parallel to $O p$ from $S$ intersects $O q$ in a point $R$. Let $T$ be the point of intersection of the ray $(P S$ and circumscribed circ...
## Solution Let $\varangle O P S=\varphi_{1}$ and $\varangle O Q S=\varphi_{2}$. We have that $\varangle O P S=\varangle P Q S=\varphi_{1}$ and $\varangle O Q S=$ $\varangle Q P S=\varphi_{2}$ (tangents to circle $k$ ). Because $R S \| O P$ we have $\varangle O P S=\varangle R S T=\varphi_{1}$ and $\varangle R Q T=\v...

NT1 Find all the pairs positive integers $(x, y)$ such that $$ \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{[x, y]}+\frac{1}{(x, y)}=\frac{1}{2} $$ where $(x, y)$ is the greatest common divisor of $x, y$ and $[x, y]$ is the least common multiple of $x, y$.
## Solution We put $x=d u$ and $y=d v$ where $d=(x, y)$. So we have $(u, v)=1$. From the conclusion we obtain $2(u+1)(v+1)=d u v$. Because $(v, v+1)=1, v$ divides $2(u+1)$. Case 1. $u=v$. Hence $x=y=[x, y]=(x, y)$, which leads to the solution $x=8$ and $y=8$. Case 2. $uv$. Because of the symmetry of $u, v$ and $x, y...

NT2 Prove that the equation $x^{2006}-4 y^{2006}-2006=4 y^{2007}+2007 y$ has no solution in the set of the positive integers.
## Solution We assume the contrary is true. So there are $x$ and $y$ that satisfy the equation. Hence we have $$ \begin{gathered} x^{2006}=4 y^{2007}+4 y^{2006}+2007 y+2006 \\ x^{2006}+1=4 y^{2006}(y+1)+2007(y+1) \\ x^{2006}+1=\left(4 y^{2006}+2007\right)(y+1) \end{gathered} $$ But $4 y^{2006}+2007 \equiv 3(\bmod 4)...

NT3 Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and $p$ a prime number such that $n \mid(p-1)$ and $p \mid\left(n^{6}-1\right)$. Prove that at least one of the numbers $p-n$ and $p+n$ is a perfect square.
## Solution Since $n \mid p-1$, then $p=1+n a$, where $a \geq 1$ is an integer. From the condition $p \mid n^{6}-1$, it follows that $p|n-1, p| n+1, p \mid n^{2}+n+1$ or $p \mid n^{2}-n+1$. - Let $p \mid n-1$. Then $n \geq p+1>n$ which is impossible. - Let $p \mid n+1$. Then $n+1 \geq p=1+n a$ which is possible only ...

NT4 Let $a, b$ be two co-prime positive integers. A number is called good if it can be written in the form $a x+b y$ for non-negative integers $x, y$. Define the function $f: \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ as $f(n)=n-n_{a}-n_{b}$, where $s_{t}$ represents the remainder of $s$ upon division by $t$. Show that an int...
## Solution If $n$ is good then $n=a x+b y$ also $n_{a}=(b y)_{a}$ and $n_{b}=(a x)_{b}$ so $$ f(n)=a x-(a x)_{b}+b y-(b y)_{a}=b y^{\prime}+a x^{\prime} $$ is also good, thus the sequence contains only good numbers which are non-negative. Now we have to prove that if the sequence contains only non-negative integer...

## A1 For any real number a, let $\lfloor a\rfloor$ denote the greatest integer not exceeding a. In positive real numbers solve the following equation $$ n+\lfloor\sqrt{n}\rfloor+\lfloor\sqrt[3]{n}\rfloor=2014 $$
Solution1. Obviously $n$ must be positive integer. Now note that $44^{2}=19362000$ than $2014=n+\lfloor\sqrt{n}\rfloor+\lfloor\sqrt[3]{n}\rfloor>2000+44+12=2056$, a contradiction! So $1950 \leq n \leq 2000$, therefore $\lfloor\sqrt{n}\rfloor=44$ and $\lfloor\sqrt[3]{n}\rfloor=12$. Plugging that into the original equa...

Solution1.

Solution1. The inequality can be written as: $\frac{5+2(1+b)}{1+a}+\frac{5+2(1+c)}{1+b}+\frac{5+2(1+a)}{1+c} \geq \frac{69}{4}$. We substitute $1+a=x, 1+b=y, 1+c=z$. So, we have to prove the inequality $$ \frac{5+2 y}{x}+\frac{5+2 z}{y}+\frac{5+2 x}{z} \geq \frac{69}{4} \Leftrightarrow 5\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y...

Solution. Let $x$ be a positive real number. By AM-GM we have $\frac{1+x+x+x}{4} \geq x^{\frac{3}{4}}$, or equivalently $1+3 x \geq 4 x^{\frac{3}{4}}$. Using this inequality we obtain: $$ \left(3 a^{2}+1\right)^{2} \geq 16 a^{3} \text { and } 2\left(1+\frac{3}{b}\right)^{2} \geq 32 b^{-\frac{3}{2}} $$ Moreover, by i...

Solution. a) The inequality reduces to $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z} \geq 3$, which follows directly from the AM-GM inequality. Equality holds only when $x=y=z=1$. b) Here the inequality reduces to $\frac{1}{x y}+\frac{1}{y z}+\frac{1}{z x} \geq 3$, i.e. $x+y+z \geq 3$, which also follows from the AM-GM inequ...

Solution. a) Observe that $\frac{1}{\frac{a b}{a+b}}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}$. Thus, if the lengths of the initial segments on the board were $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}$, and $c$ is the length of the last remaining segment, then $\frac{1}{c}=\frac{1}{a_{1}}+\frac{1}{a_{2}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{a_{n}}$ , proving a). b) F...

## C2 In a country with $n$ cities, all direct airlines are two-way. There are $r>2014$ routes between pairs of different cities that include no more than one intermediate stop (the direction of each route matters). Find the least possible $n$ and the least possible $r$ for that value of $n$.
Solution. Denote by $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots X_{n}$ the cities in the country and let $X_{i}$ be connected to exactly $m_{i}$ other cities by direct two-way airline. Then $X_{i}$ is a final destination of $m_{i}$ direct routes and an intermediate stop of $m_{i}\left(m_{i}-1\right)$ non-direct routes. Thus $r=m_{1}^{2}+\l...

A7. Show that for any positive real numbers $a, b, c$ such that $a+b+c=a b+b c+c a$, the following inequality holds $$ 3+\sqrt[3]{\frac{a^{3}+1}{2}}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{b^{3}+1}{2}}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{c^{3}+1}{2}} \leqslant 2(a+b+c) $$
Solution. Using the condition we have $$ a^{2}-a+1=a^{2}-a+1+a b+b c+c a-a-b-c=(c+a-1)(a+b-1) $$ Hence we have $$ \sqrt[3]{\frac{a^{3}+1}{2}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(a+1)\left(a^{2}-a+1\right)}{2}}=\sqrt[3]{\left(\frac{a+1}{2}\right)(c+a-1)(a+b-1)} $$ Using the last equality together with the AM-GM Inequality, we have $$...

Solution. If the number of pairs of kids with two-way communication is $k$, then by the given condition the total number of messages is $4 k+4 k=8 k$. Thus the number of pairs of kids is $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=7 k$. This is possible only if $n \equiv 0,1 \bmod 7$. - In order to obtain $n=7 m+1$, arrange the kids in a circ...

Solution. Let $I$ be the incenter of $A B C$ and let $Z$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $K$ on $E C$. Since $K B$ is the bisector of $\hat{B}$, then $\angle E B C=15^{\circ}$ and since $E M$ is the perpendicular bisector of $B C$, then $\angle E C B=\angle E B C=15^{\circ}$.

Solution. We consider the following cases: 1st Case: If $r=2$, then $\frac{r^{2}+3 p}{p+q}=\frac{4+3 p}{p+q}$. If $p$ is odd, then $4+3 p$ is odd and therefore $p+q$ must be odd.

## Solution We have $1006^{z}>2011^{y}>2011$, hence $z \geq 2$. Then $1005^{x}+2011^{y} \equiv 0(\bmod 4)$. But $1005^{x} \equiv 1(\bmod 4)$, so $2011^{y} \equiv-1(\bmod 4) \Rightarrow y$ is odd, i.e. $2011^{y} \equiv-1(\bmod 1006)$.

A2. Prove that, for all real numbers $x, y, z$ : $$ \frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{2 x^{2}+1}+\frac{y^{2}-z^{2}}{2 y^{2}+1}+\frac{z^{2}-x^{2}}{2 z^{2}+1} \leq(x+y+z)^{2} $$ When the equality holds?
Solution. For $x=y=z=0$ the equality is valid. Since $(x+y+z)^{2} \geq 0$ it is enongh to prove that $$ \frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{2 x^{2}+1}+\frac{y^{2}-z^{2}}{2 y^{2}+1}+\frac{z^{2}-x^{2}}{2 z^{2}+1} \leq 0 $$ which is equivalent to the inequality $$ \frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2}+\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{y^{2}-z^{2}}{y^{2}+\frac{1...

A3. Prove that for all real $x, y$ $$ \frac{x+y}{x^{2}-x y+y^{2}} \leq \frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} $$
Solution. The inequality rewrites as $$ \frac{x+y}{x^{2}-x y+y^{2}} \leq \frac{\sqrt{2\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}}{\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2}} $$ Now it is enough to prove the next two simple inequalities: $$ x+y \leq \sqrt{2\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}, \quad x^{2}-x y+y^{2} \geq \frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2} $$

Let $A_{1} \in B C, B_{1} \in A C$ and $C_{1} \in A B$ be the feet of the altitudes of the triangle $A B C$, and let $K$ and $L$ ...
Solution. Let $M, P$ and $Q$ be the midpoints of $[B C],[C A]$ and $[A B]$, respectively. The circumcircle of the triangle $A_{1} B_{1} C_{1}$ is the Euler's circle. So, the point $M$ lies on this circle. It is enough to prove now that $\left[A_{1} M\right]$ is a common chord of the three circles $\left(A_{1} B_{1} ...

G7. Let $[A B]$ be a chord of a circle $(c)$ centered at $O$, and let $K$ be a point on the segment $(A B)$ such that $A K<B K$. Two circles through $K$, internally tangent to (c) at $A$ and $B$, respectively, meet again at $L$. Let $P$ be one of the points of intersection of the line $K L$ and the circle (c), and let...
Solution. Let $\left(c_{1}\right)$ and $\left(c_{2}\right)$ be circles through $K$, internally tangent to (c) at $A$ and $B$, respectively, and meeting again at $L$, and let the common tangent to $\left(c_{1}\right)$ and $(c)$ meet the common tangent to $\left(c_{2}\right)$ and $(c)$ at $Q$. Then the point $Q$ is the ...
