    The document is the instructions and problems for the British Mathematical Olympiad Round 2 exam. It provides details on the structure of the exam, including that it is 3.5 hours long with 4 problems worth 10 marks each. Full solutions must be shown, and the best submissions will be thorough solutions to 1-2 problems rather than partial attempts at all 4. The top performers will be invited to further training opportunities culminating in the UK team for the International Mathematical Olympiad.

    Round 2 : Tuesday, 30 January 2007 Time allowed Three and a half hours. Each question is worth 10 marks. Instructions Full written solutions - not just answers - are required, with complete proofs of any assertions you may make. Marks awarded will depend on the clarity of your mathematical presentation. Work in rough rst, and then draft your nal version carefully before writing up your best attempt. Rough work should be handed in, but should be clearly marked. One or two complete solutions will gain far more credit than partial attempts at all four problems. The use of rulers and compasses is allowed, but calculators and protractors are forbidden. Staple all the pages neatly together in the top left hand corner, with questions 1,2,3,4 in order, and the cover sheet at the front. In early March, twenty students will be invited to attend the training session to be held at Trinity College, Cambridge (29th March - 2nd April). At the training session, students sit a pair of IMO-style papers and 8 students will be selected for further training. Those selected will be expected to participate in correspondence work and to attend further training. The UK Team of six for this summers International Mathematical Olympiad (to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam 23-31 July) will then be chosen. Do not turn over until told to do so.

    1. Triangle ABC has integer-length sides, and AC = 2007. The internal bisector of BAC meets BC at D. Given that AB = CD, determine AB and BC . 2. Show that there are innitely many pairs of positive integers (m, n) such that m+1 n+1 + n m is a positive integer. 3. Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle with AB > AC and BAC = 60o . Denote the circumcentre by O and the orthocentre by H and let OH meet AB at P and AC at Q. Prove that P O = HQ. Note: The circumcentre of triangle ABC is the centre of the circle which passes through the vertices A, B and C . The orthocentre is the point of intersection of the perpendiculars from each vertex to the opposite side. 4. In the land of Hexagonia, the six cities are connected by a rail network such that there is a direct rail line connecting each pair of cities. On Sundays, some lines may be closed for repair. The passengers rail charter stipulates that any city must be accessible by rail from any other (not necessarily directly) at all times. In how many dierent ways can some of the lines be closed subject to this condition?
