Nineteenth International Mathematical Olympiad, 1977

1977/1.
Equilateral triangles ABK, BCL, CDM, DAN are constructed inside the square ABCD. Prove that the midpoints of the four segments KL, LM, M N, N K and the midpoints of the eight segments AKBK, BL, CL, CM, DM, DN, AN are the twelve vertices of a regular dodecagon.

1977/2.
In a nite sequence of real numbers the sum of any seven successive terms is negative, and the sum of any eleven successive terms is positive. Determine the maximum number of terms in the sequence.

1977/3.
Let n be a given integer > 2, and let Vn be the set of integers 1 + kn, where k = 1, 2, .... A number m Vn is called indecomposable in Vn if there do not exist numbers p, q Vn such that pq = m. Prove that there exists a number r Vn that can be expressed as the product of elements indecomposable in Vn in more than one way. (Products which dier only in the order of their factors will be considered the same.)

1977/4.
Four real constants a, b, A, B are given, and f () = 1 a cos b sin A cos 2 B sin 2. Prove that if f () 0 for all real , then a2 + b2 2 and A2 + B 2 1.

1977/5.
Let a and b be positive integers. When a2 +b2 is divided by a+b, the quotient is q and the remainder is r. Find all pairs (a, b) such that q 2 + r = 1977.

1977/6.
Let f (n) be a function dened on the set of all positive integers and having all its values in the same set. Prove that if f (n + 1) > f (f (n)) for each positive integer n, then f (n) = n for each n.
