1 2013 cards, each one of them having a different number from 1 to 2013, are placed upside
down on a table (i.e. the numbers cant be seen). One may ask whether the arithmetic mean
of any set of cards is an integer. The answer will always be true. a) Find all numbers that
can be determined without a doubt asking these questions. b) Some groups are formed using
cards such that we know what numbers are in each group, but we dont necessarily know what
number is written in each card (for example, find a group of 3 cards that have the numbers
1, 2, and 3, without knowing what number each card has). What is the maximum amount of
groups that can be formed?

5 The numbers 1 through 2013 are written on a board. A valid operation is to pick a positive
integer a from the board, and replace each number b a with b a (if there is any number a
on the board other than the original one, then it is replaced with a 0). After some operations,
the sum of the numbers of the board is equal to 10. Determine which numbers may be on
the board at this moment. Give all possibilites.
6 A positive integer n is called pretty if there exists two divisors d1 , d2 of n (1 d1 , d2 n)

5 Consider n lamps clockwise numbered from 1 to n on a circle.
Let to be a configuration where 0 ` n random lamps are turned on. A cool procedure
consists in perform, simultaneously, the following operations: for each one of the ` lamps
which are turned on, we verify the number of the lamp; if i is turned on, a signal of range i
is sent by this lamp, and it will be received only by the next i lamps which follow i, turned
on or turned off, also considered clockwise. At the end of the operations we verify, for each
lamp, turned on or turned off, how many signals it has received. If it was reached by an even
number of signals, it remains on the same state(that is, if it was turned on, it will be turned
on; if it was turned off, it will be turned off). Otherwise, its state will be changed.
The example in attachment, for n = 4, ilustrates a configuration where lamps 2 and 4 are
initially turned on. Lamp 2 sends signal only for the lamps 3 e 4, while lamp 4 sends signal
for lamps 1, 2, 3 e 4. Therefore, we verify that lamps 1 e 2 received only one signal, while
lamps 3 e 4 received two signals. Therefore, in the next configuration, lamps 1 e 4 will be
turned on, while lamps 2 e 3 will be turned off.
Let to be the set of all 2n possible configurations, where 0 ` n random lamps are
turned on. We define a function f : where, if is a configuration of lamps, then f ()
is the configurations obtained after we perform the cool procedure described above.

order a < b < c < d, then a and c are the numbers on the two endpoints of one of sides ei or
ej .
Prove that the number of alternating pairs of sides and the number of positive sides are of
different parity.

4 There are 12 acrobats who are assigned a distinct number (1, 2, , 12) respectively. Half of
them stand around forming a circle (called circle A); the rest form another circle (called circle
B) by standing on the shoulders of every two adjacent acrobats in circle A respectively. Then
circle A and circle B make up a formation. We call a formation a tower if the number of any
acrobat in circle B is equal to the sum of the numbers of the two acrobats whom he stands
on. How many heterogeneous towers are there? (Note: two towers are homogeneous if either
they are symmetrical or one may become the other one by rotation. We present an example
of 8 acrobats (see attachment). Numbers inside the circle represent the circle A; numbers
outside the circle represent the circle B. All these three formations are towers, however they
are homogeneous towers.)

1 Let n 3 be an integer. A frog is to jump along the real axis, starting at the point 0 and
making n jumps: one of length 1, one of length 2, . . . , one of length n. It may perform these
n jumps in any order. If at some point the frog is sitting on a number a 0, its next jump
must be to the right (towards the positive numbers). If at some point the frog is sitting on a
number a > 0, its next jump must be to the left (towards the negative numbers). Find the
largest positive integer k for which the frog can perform its jumps in such an order that it

2 Around a round table the people P1 , P2 , ..., P2013 are seated in a clockwise order. Each person
starts with a certain amount of coins (possibly none); there are a total of 10000 coins. Starting
with P1 and proceeding in clockwise order, each person does the following on their turn:
If they have an even number of coins, they give all of their coins to their neighbor to the
left. [/*:m] If they have an odd number of coins, they give their neighbor to the left an odd
number of coins (at least 1 and at most all of their coins) and keep the rest.[/*:m]
Prove that, repeating this procedure, there will necessarily be a point where one person has

3 Real function f generates real function g if there exists a natural k such that f k = g and
we show this by f g. In this question we are trying to find some properties for relation ,
for example its trivial that if f g and g h then f h.(transitivity)
(a) Give an example of two real functions f, g such that f 6= g ,f g and g f . (b) Prove
that for each real function f there exists a finite number of real functions g such that f g
and g f . (c) Does there exist a real function g such that no function generates it, except
for g itself? (d) Does there exist a real function which generates both x3 and x5 ? (e) Prove
that if a function generates two polynomials of degree 1 P, Q then there exists a polynomial
R of degree 1 which generates P and Q.
Time allowed for this problem was 75 minutes.
4 A polygon A that doesnt intersect itself and has perimeter p is called Rotund if for each
two points x, y on the sides of this polygon which their distance on the plane is less than 1
their distance on the polygon is at most p4 . (Distance on the polygon is the length of smaller
path between two points on the polygon) Now we shall prove that we can fit a circle with
radius 41 in any rotund polygon. The mathematicians of two planets earth and Tarator have
two different approaches to prove the statement. In both approaches by inner chord we
mean a segment with both endpoints on the polygon, and diagonal is an inner chord with
vertices of the polygon as the endpoints. Earth approach: Maximal Chord We know
the fact that for every polygon, there exists an inner chord xy with a length of at most 1
such that for any inner chord x0 y 0 with length of at most 1 the distance on the polygon of
x, y is more than the distance on the polygon of x0 , y 0 . This chord is called the maximal
chord. On the rotund polygon A0 theres two different situations for maximal chord: (a)
Prove that if the length of the maximal chord is exactly 1, then a semicircle with diameter
maximal chord fits completely inside A0 , so we can fit a circle with radius 41 in A0 . (b) Prove
that if the length of the maximal chord is less than one we still can fit a circle with radius 14
in A0 . Tarator approach: Triangulation Statement 1: For any polygon that the length
of all sides is less than one and no circle with radius 41 fits completely inside it, there exists a
triangulation of it using diagonals such that no diagonal with length more than 1 appears in
the triangulation. Statement 2: For any polygon that no circle with radius 41 fits completely
inside it, can be divided into traingles that their sides are inner chords with length of at
most 1. The mathematicians of planet Tarator proved that if the second statement is true,
for each rotund polygon there exists a circle with radius 14 that fits completely inside it. (c)
Prove that if the second statement is true, then for each rotund polygon there exists a circle
with radius 41 that fits completely inside it. They found out that if the first statement is true
then the second statement is also true, so they put a bounty of a doogh on proving the first
statement. A young earth mathematician named J.N., found a counterexample for statement
1, thus recieving the bounty. (d) Find a 1392-gon that is counterexample for statement 1.
But the Tarators are not disappointed and they are still trying to prove the second statement.
(e) (Extra points) Prove or disprove the second statement.

6 Two magicians are performing the following game. Initially the first magician encloses the
second magician in a cabin where he can neither see nor hear anything. To start the game,
the first magician invites Daniel, from the audience, to put on each square of a chessboard
n n, at his (Daniels) discretion, a token black or white. Then the first magician asks
Daniel to show him a square C of his own choice. At this point, the first magician chooses a
square D (not necessarily different from C) and replaces the token that is on D with other
color token (white with black or black with white). Then he opens the cabin in which the
second magician was held. Looking at the chessboard, the second magician guesses what is
the square C. For what value of n, the two magicians have a strategy such that the second
magician makes a successful guess.

5 Let X = {1, 2, . . . , n}, and let k X. Show that there are exactly knn1 functions f : X X
such that for every x X there is a j 0 such that f (j) (x) k.
[Here f (j) denotes the jth iterate of f, so that f (0) (x) = x and f (j+1) (x) = f f (j) (x) .]
6 Let n 1 be an odd integer. Alice and Bob play the following game, taking alternating turns,
with Alice playing first. The playing area consists of n spaces, arranged in a line. Initially all
spaces are empty. At each turn, a player either
places a stone in an empty space, or removes a stone from a nonempty space s, places a
stone in the nearest empty space to the left of s (if such a space exists), and places a stone
in the nearest empty space to the right of s (if such a space exists).
Furthermore, a move is permitted only if the resulting position has not occurred previously
in the game. A player loses if he or she is unable to move. Assuming that both players play
optimally throughout the game, what moves may Alice make on her first turn?

3 Let ABC be a triangle such that ABC isnt a isosceles triangle. (I) is incircle of triangle
touches BC, CA, AB at D, E, F respectively. The line through E perpendicular to BI cuts
(I) again at K. The line through F perpendicular to CI cuts (I) again at L.J is midpoint
of KL. a) Prove that D, I, J collinear. b) B, C are fixed points,A is moved point such that
AB
AC = k with k is constant.IE, IF cut (I) again at M, N respectively.M N cuts IB, IC at
P, Q respectively. Prove that bisector perpendicular of P Q through a fixed point.
4 Write down some numbers a1 , a2 , . . . , an from left to right on a line. Step 1, we write a1 + a2
between a1 , a2 ; a2 + a3 between a2 , a3 , , an1 + an between an1 , an , and then we have new
sequence b = (a1 , a1 + a2 , a2 , a2 + a3 , a3 , . . . , an1 , an1 + an , an ). Step 2, we do the same
thing with sequence b to have the new sequence c again. And so on. If we do 2013 steps,
count the number of the number 2013 appear on the line if a) n = 2, a1 = 1, a2 = 1000 b)
n = 1000, ai = i, i = 1, 2 . . . , 1000
