    2 −10
    1 Find the positive integers n that are not divisible by 3 if the number 2n +
    2133 is a perfect cube.

    The wording of this problem is perhaps not the best English. As far as I am
    2
    aware, just solve the diophantine equation x3 = 2n −10 + 2133 where x, n ∈ N
    and 3 ∤ n.

    2 Let Pn (n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) be the set of positive integers nk + nl + nm , where


    k, l, m are positive integers. Find n such that:
    i) In the set Pn there are infinitely many squares.
    ii) In the set Pn there are no squares.

    3 Find all the three-digit numbers abc such that the 6003-digit number abcabc . . . abc
    is divisible by 91.

    4 The discriminant of the equation x2 − ax + b = 0 is the square of a rational


    number and a and b are integers. Prove that the roots of the equation are
    integers.

    5 Let xk = k(k+1)
    2 for all integers k ≥ 1. Prove that for any integer n ≥ 10,
    between the numbers A = x1 + x2 + . . . + xn−1 and B = A + xn there is at least
    one square.

    6 Find all integers x and y such that x3 ± y 3 = 2001p, where p is prime.

    7 Prove that there are are no positive integers x and y such that x5 + y 5 + 1 =
    (x + 2)5 + (y − 3)5 .

    The restriction x, y are positive isn’t necessary.

    8 Prove that no three points with integer coordinates can be the vertices of an
    equilateral triangle.

    9 Consider a convex quadrilateral ABCD with AB = CD and ∠BAC = 30◦ . If


    ∠ADC = 150◦ , prove that ∠BCA = ∠ACD.

    10 A triangle ABC is inscribed in the circle C(O, R). Let α < 1 be the ratio of
    the radii of the circles tangent to C, and both of the rays (AB and (AC. The
    numbers β < 1 and γ < 1 are defined analogously. Prove that α + β + γ = 1.

    11 Consider a triangle ABC with AB = AC, and D the foot of the altitude from
    the vertex A. The point E lies on the side AB such that ∠ACE = ∠ECB =
    18◦ .
    If AD = 3, find the length of the segment CE.

    12 Consider the triangle ABC with ∠A = 90◦ and ∠B 6= ∠C. A circle C(O, R)
    passes through B and C and intersects the sides AB and AC at D and E,
    respectively. Let S be the foot of the perpendicular from A to BC and let K
    be the intersection point of AS with the segment DE. If M is the midpoint of
    BC, prove that AKOM is a parallelogram.

    13 At a conference there are n mathematicians. Each of them knows exactly k


    fellow mathematicians. Find the smallest value of k such that there are at least
    three mathematicians that are acquainted each with the other two.
    Rewording of the last line for clarification:
    Find the smallest value of k such that there (always) exists 3 mathematicians
    X, Y, Z such that X and Y know each other, X and Z know each other and Y
    and Z know each other.
