Day 1
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.

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 2 be an integer. There are n beads numbered 1, 2, . . . , n. Two necklaces made out
of some of these beads are considered the same if we can get one by rotating the other (with
no flipping allowed). For example, with n 5, the necklace with four beads 1, 5, 3, 2 in the
clockwise order is same as the one with 5, 3, 2, 1 in the clockwise order, but is different from
the one with 1, 2, 3, 5 in the clockwise order.
We denote by D0 (n) (respectively D1 (n)) the number of ways in which we can use all the
beads to make an even number (resp. an odd number) of necklaces each of length at least 3.
Prove that n 1 divides D1 (n) D0 (n).

Final Exam

1 An n-stick is a connected figure consisting of n matches of length 1 which are placed horizontally or vertically and no two touch each other at points other than their ends. Two shapes
that can be transformed into each other by moving, rotating or flipping are considered the
same. An n-mino is a shape which is built by connecting n squares of side length 1 on their
sides such that theres a path on the squares between each two squares of the n-mino. Let
Sn be the number of n-sticks and Mn the number of n-minos, e.g. S3 = 5 And M3 = 2.
(a) Prove that for any natural n, Sn Mn+1 . (b) Prove that for large enough n we have
(2.4)n Sn (16)n . A grid segment is a segment on the plane of length 1 which its both
ends are integer points. A polystick is called wise if using it and its rotations or flips we
can cover all grid segments without overlapping, otherwise its called unwise. (c) Prove that
there are at least 2n6 different unwise n-sticks. (d) Prove that any polystick which is in form
of a path only going up and right is wise. (e) Extra points: Prove that for large enough n we
have 3n Sn 12n
Time allowed for this exam was 2 hours.
2 We define the distance between two circles , 0 by the length of the common external tangent
of the circles and show it by d(, 0 ). If two circles doesnt have a common external tangent
then the distance between them is undefined. A point is also a circle with radius 0 and the
distance between two cirlces can be zero. (a) Centroid. n circles 1 , . . . , n are fixed on the
plane. Prove that there exists a unique circle such that for each circle on the plane the

the distance of from centroid of 1 , 2 is not more than the distance of and 3 . (If the
distances are all defined) (c) Circumcentre. Let C be the set of all circles that each of
them has the same distance from fixed circles 1 , 2 , 3 . Prove that there exists a point on
the plane which is the external homothety center of each two elements of C. (d) Regular

3 Real function f generates real function g if there exists a natural k such that f k = g and

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.

5 A subsum of n real numbers a1 , . . . , an is a sum of elements of a subset of the set {a1 , . . . , an }.
In other words a subsum is 1 a1 + + n an in which for each 1 i n ,i is either 0 or
1. Years ago, there was a valuable list containing n real not necessarily distinct numbers and
their 2n 1 subsums. Some mysterious creatures from planet Tarator has stolen the list,
but we still have the subsums. (a) Prove that we can recover the numbers uniquely if all of
the subsums are positive. (b) Prove that we can recover the numbers uniquely if all of the
subsums are non-zero. (c) Prove that theres an example of the subsums for n = 1392 such
that we can not recover the numbers uniquely.
Note: If a subsum is sum of element of two different subsets, it appears twice. Time allowed
for this question was 75 minutes.
6 Planet Tarator is a planet in the Yoghurty way galaxy. This planet has a shape of convex
1392-hedron. On earth we dont have any other information about sides of planet tarator.
We have discovered that each side of the planet is a country, and has its own currency. Each
two neighbour countries have their own constant exchange rate, regardless of other exchange
rates. Anybody who travels on land and crosses the border must change all his money to the
currency of the destination country, and theres no other way to change the money. Incredibly,
a persons money may change after crossing some borders and getting back to the point he
started, but its guaranteed that crossing a border and then coming back doesnt change the
money. On a research project a group of tourists were chosen and given same amount of
money to travel around the Tarator planet and come back to the point they started. They
always travel on land and their path is a nonplanar polygon which doesnt intersect itself.
What is the maximum number of tourists that may have a pairwise different final amount of
money?
Note 1: Tourists spend no money during travel! Note 2: The only constant of the problem
is 1392, the number of the sides. The exchange rates and the way the sides are arranged are
unknown. Answer must be a constant number, regardless of the variables. Note 3: The
maximum must be among all possible polyhedras.
Time allowed for this problem was 90 minutes.

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.

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?

side, arranged into an equilateral triangle, with the biggest row containing n marks. Initially,
each mark has the black side up. An operation is to choose a line parallel to the sides of the
triangle, and flipping all the marks on that line. A configuration is called admissible if it can
be obtained from the initial configuration by performing a finite number of operations. For
each admissible configuration C, let f (C) denote the smallest number of operations required
to obtain C from the initial configuration. Find the maximum value of f (C), where C varies
