1 Positive integers a, b, c are given. It is known that cb = ab , and the number b2 − a − c + 1 is a prime.
Prove that a and c are double of a squares of positive integers.
2 In parallelogram ABCD, points E and F on segments AD and CD are such that ∠BCE =
∠BAF . Points K and L on segments AD and CD are such that AK = ED and CL = F D.
Prove that ∠BKD = ∠BLD.
3 Pete wrote down 21 pairwise distinct positive integers, each not greater than 1, 000, 000. For
every pair (a, b) of numbers written down by Pete, Nick wrote the number
F (a; b) = a + b − gcd(a; b)
on his piece of paper. Prove that one of Nick’s numbers differs from all of Pete’s numbers.
4 Do there exist 2021 points with integer coordinates on the plane such that the pairwise distances
between them are pairwise distinct consecutive integers?

5 Let S be the set of all 56 positive integers, whose decimal representation consists of exactly 6
odd digits. Find the number of solutions (x, y, z) of the equation x + y = 10z, where x ∈ S, y ∈ S,
z ∈ S.
6 16 NHL teams in the first playoff round divided in pairs and to play series until 4 wins (thus the
series could finish with score 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, or 4-3). After that 8 winners of the series play the
second playoff round divided into 4 pairs to play series until 4 wins, and so on. After all the final
round is over, it happens that k teams have non-negative balance of wins (for example, the team
that won in the first round with a score of 4-2 and lost in the second with a score of 4-3 fits the
condition: it has 4 + 3 = 7 wins and 2 + 4 = 6 losses). Find the least possible k.
7 Point P is chosen on the leg CB of right triangle ABC (∠ACB = 90◦ ). The line AP intersects
the circumcircle of ABC at point Q. Let L be the midpoint of P B. Prove that QL is tangent to a
fixed circle independent of the choice of point P .

8 Paul can write polynomial (x+1)n , expand and simplify it, and after that change every coefficient
by its reciprocal. For example if n = 3 Paul gets (x + 1)3 = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 and then x3 +
3 x + 3 x + 1. Prove that Paul can choose n for which the sum of Paul’s polynomial coefficients
1 2 1
is less than 2.022.

1 Given a rectangular table with 2 rows and 100 columns. Dima fills the cells of the first row with
numbers 1, 2 or 3. Prove that Alex can fill the cells of the second row with numbers 1, 2, 3 in such
a way that the numbers in each column are different and the sum of the numbers in the second
row equals 200.
2 Prove that infinitely many positive integers can be represented as (a−1)/b+(b−1)/c+(c−1)/a,
where a, b and c are pairwise distinct positive integers greater than 1.
3 Do there exist 100 points on the plane such that the pairwise distances between them are pair-
wise distinct consecutive integer numbers larger than 2022?
4 Let ω is tangent to the sides of an acute angle with vertex A at points B and C. Let D be an
arbitrary point onn the major arc BC of the circle ω. Points E and F are chosen inside the angle
DAC so that quadrilaterals ABDF and ACED are inscribed and the points A, E, F lie on the
same straight line. Prove that lines BE and CF intersectat ω.

6 Let ABC be an acute triangle. Let P be a point on the circle (ABC), and Q be a point on the
segment AC such that AP ⊥ BC and BQ ⊥ AC. Lot O be the circumcenter of triangle AP Q.
Find the angle OBC.

8 There are n > 2022 cities in the country. Some pairs of cities are connected with straight two-
ways airlines. Call the set of the cities unlucky, if it is impossible to color the airlines between
them in two colors without monochromatic triangle (i.e. three cities A, B, C with the airlines
AB, AC and BC of the same color).
The set containing all the cities is unlucky. Is there always an unlucky set containing exactly
2022 cities?
