Day I
Problem 1
If and are natural numbers so thatprove that is divisible by .
Problem 2
We consider a prism which has the upper and inferior basis the pentagons: and . Each of the sides of the two pentagons and the segments with ,5 is colored in red or blue. In every triangle which has all sides colored there exists one red side and one blue side. Prove that all the 10 sides of the two basis are colored in the same color.
Problem 3
Two circles in a plane intersect. is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from
Day II
Problem 4
We consider a point in a plane and a point . Determine all the points from for whichis maximum.
Problem 5
Determine all real numbers a for which there exists positive reals which satisfy the relations
Problem 6
Let and be opposite vertices of an octagon. A frog starts at vertex From any vertex except it jumps to one of the two adjacent vertices. When it reaches it stops. Let be the number of distinct paths of exactly jumps ending at . Prove that:
