Indeed, $f(999)=$ $=f(f(1000))=1 / f(1000)=1 / 999$. Therefore, the function takes the values 999 and $1 / 999$, which means there exists a number $a$ such that $f(a)=500$.

26. On a plane, $N$ lines are drawn, no two of which are parallel and no three intersect at the same point. For which $N$ is it always possible to place one of the numbers $1,2, \ldots, N-1$ at each intersection point of the lines so that on any line all these numbers appear exactly once?
## 9th grade | 89.26. Answer. This is only possible for even $N$. Consider all points marked with a one. Two lines pass through each of them, and therefore $N$ must be divisible by two.
Now let $N$ be even. Number the lines from 1 to $N$ and for any $i$ and $j$ less than $N$, at the intersection of the $i$-th and $j$-th lines, write... | N | Combinatorics | math-word-problem | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false | 37,305 |
37. Determine whether the operation *, which associates with any two natural numbers $X$ and $Y$ a natural number $X * Y$, can simultaneously possess the following three properties:
a) $A * B=|A-B| *(A+B)$ when $A \neq B$;
b) $(A C) *(B C)=(A * B)(C * C)$;
c) $(2 k+1) *(2 k+1)=2 k+1$.

44. Given an operation *, which associates with any two integers X and Y an integer X * Y. It is known that every integer is equal to X * Y for some integers X and Y. Prove that such an operation cannot simultaneously have the following two properties:
a) $A * B=-(B * A)$
b) $(A * B) * C=A *(B * C)$. | 89.44. Using alternately properties $a$ and b, we get $(A * B) * C=-(C *(A * B))=-((C * A) * B)=B *(C * A)=$ $=-(A *(B * C))=-((A * B) * C)$, from which $(A * B) * C=0$. But by the condition, $A * B$ can take any integer value $X$, as well as $X \% C$, which leads to a contradiction. | proof | Algebra | proof | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false | 37,311 |

## 8th grade | 89.47. Let $t>1$ be the square root of a number that is the solution to the mentioned quadratic equation. Then $A t^{4} + (C-B) t^{2} + (E-D) = 0$, i.e., $A t^{4} + C t^{2} + E = B t^{2} + D$.

Suppose such an arrangement exists. Let $2^{a}$ be the smallest sum of numbers in a row. Then $2^{a} \geqslant 1+2+$ $+\ldots+k=k(k+1) / 2$. On the other hand, the sum of all numbers in the table should be divisible by $2^{a}$, and we get that $k^{2}\left(k^{2}+1\right) / 2$ is divisible by $2^{a}$.

Both the equality $A M + A N = C M + C N$ and the equality $A O + A B = C O + C B$ are equivalent to the fact that a circle can be inscribed in the "quadrilateral" $X A O C Y$ (see Fig. 65), i.e., the quadrilateral $O M B N$ (or $A B C O$) is "exscribed". | proof | Geometry | proof | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false | 37,323 |
