1 a_507_bc
Let be a continuous function such that and
view topic

for all . Show that for all .

2 A rich knight has a chest and a lot of coins, so every day he puts into the chest some quantity of coins - a_507_bc
view topic
among the numbers . If there exist two days on which he added equal quantities of
coins (say, coins) and he has added in total at most coins on the days between these two days,
he stops putting coins into the chest. Prove that this will necessarily happen eventually.

3 a) (version for grades 10-11) a_507_bc

view topic

Let be a point lying in the interior of a triangle. Show that the product of the distances from to the
sides of the triangle is at least times less than the product of the distances from to the tangents to
the circumcircle at the vertices of the triangle.

b) (version for grades 8-9)

Is it true that for any triangle there exists a point for which equality in the inequality from a) holds?

4 Let be a positive integer greater than and let us call an arbitrary set of cells in a square a_507_bc
view topic
if they are the intersection cells of several rows and several columns, such that none of those cells
lie on the main diagonal. What is the minimum number of pairwise disjoint sets required to cover
the entire table without the main diagonal?

5 A quadrilateral has an incircle . The points are chosen so that a_507_bc

6 Let denotes the set of integers from to . A magician with an assistant perform a trick. The a_507_bc
view topic
magician leaves the hall and the spectator writes a sequence of elements on the board from the set
. The magician’s assistant looks at them and adds more elements from to the existing
sequence. After that the spectator replaces three of these numbers by random elements of
(it is permitted to change them by themselves, that is to not change anything at all, for example). The
magician enters and looks at the resulting row of numbers and without error names the original
numbers written by the spectator. Find the minimal possible for which the trick is possible.

7 Let be a positive integer satisfying , where is a prime. Let a_507_bc

view topic

and for . Show that .

8 There are points on the plane. No three of them lie on the same straight line and no four lie on the a_507_bc
view topic
same circle. Prove that it is possible to split these points into pairs and cover each pair of points with a
circle containing no other points.

Grade 8-9

1 We will say that two sets of distinct numbers are to each other if between any two numbers of a_507_bc
view topic
each set lies at least one number of the other set. Is it possible to fill the cells of a
2024 239 Open Mathematical Olympiad
rectangle with distinct numbers so that any two rows of the rectangle are linked to one another, and any
two columns of the rectangle are linked to one another?

2 There are points on the plane, no three of which lie on the same line. Some segments are drawn a_507_bc
view topic
between them so that they do not intersect at internal points and any segment with ends among the given
points intersects some of the drawn segments at an internal point. Is it true that it is always possible to
choose drawn segments having no common ends?

3 There are non-zero digits written around a circle. Prove that they can be split into non-empty a_507_bc
view topic
blocks of consecutive digits so that among the natural numbers formed by the digits in those blocks,
at least of them are divisible by (the digits in each block are read in clockwise direction).

4 Let be the incenter of a triangle . The points lie on the prolongations of the lines a_507_bc
view topic
after so that and . Show that the line

5 Let be reals such that a_507_bc

view topic

Show that

6 See Senior P3

7 Prove that there exists a positive integer , such that for any set of positive reals, there a_507_bc
view topic
exists a subset of numbers, so that none of the sums of at least two numbers in is in the set
.

8 Let be a sequence of , such that it satisfies the following three conditions: a_507_bc
view topic
1) , for and ;
2) for ;
3) for .
Show that the sequence is periodic.
