Question 1

Let $M \ge 1$ be a real number. Determine all natural numbers $n$ for which there exist pairwise distinct natural numbers $a, b, c \gt M$, such that
$$
n = (a, b) \cdot (b, c) + (b, c) \cdot (c, a) + (c, a) \cdot (a, b)
$$
(where $(x, y)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of natural numbers $x$ and $y$).

Question 2

Let $ABC$ be an acute angled triangle with $\angle B \gt \angle C$. Consider the points $D, E, J, K, S$ on its circumcircle $C(O)$, such that $A, E, J$ and $K$ are on the same side of the line $BC$, the diameter $DE$ and the line $BC$ are orthogonal, $S \in \widehat{EK}$ and $\widehat{AE} = \widehat{BJ} = \widehat{CK} = \frac{1}{4}\widehat{CE}$. Let $F, M, P, Q$ be the intersection points of the lines $AC$ and $DE$, $BK$ and $AD$, $BK$ and $AC$, $CJ$ and $BF$, respectively. If $\angle SMK = 30^\circ$ and $\angle AQP = 90^\circ$, prove that the line $MS$ is tangent to the circumcircle of the triangle $AOF$.

Question 3

Given the trapezoid $ABCD$ with the smaller base $AB$, squares $ADEF$ and $BCGH$ are constructed externally to the trapezoid. Prove that the perpendicular bisector of $AB$ passes through the midpoint of $FH$.

Question 4

Determine all primes $p$ and all positive integers $x$ and $y$ satisfying $x^3 + y^3 = p(xy + p)$.

Question 5

Fix an integer $n \ge 3$. Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Given pairwise distinct points $A, B, C$ in $S$, the triangle $ABC$ is suitable for $AB$ if area $ABC \le$ area $ABX$ for all $X$ in $S$ different from $A$ and $B$. (Note that for a segment $AB$ there could be several suitable triangles.) A triangle is adequate if its vertices are all in $S$ and it is suitable for at least two of its sides. Prove that there are at least $\frac{1}{2}(n-1)$ adequate triangles.

Question 6

Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer, and let $f$ be a $4n$-variable polynomial with real coefficients, such that, for any $2n$ points $(x_1, y_1), \dots, (x_{2n}, y_{2n})$ in the Cartesian plane,
$$
f(x_1, y_1, \dots, x_{2n}, y_{2n}) = 0
$$
if and only if they form the vertices of a regular $2n$-gon in some order, or are all equal. Determine the smallest possible degree of $f$.

Question 7

Given a triangle $ABC$, let $H$ and $O$ be its orthocentre and circumcentre, respectively. Let $K$ be the midpoint of the line segment $AH$. Let further $\ell$ be a line through $O$, and let $P$ and $Q$ be the orthogonal projections of $B$ and $C$ onto $\ell$, respectively. Prove that $KP + KQ \ge BC$.

Question 8

Let $P(x)$, $Q(x)$, $R(x)$ and $S(x)$ be non-constant polynomials with real coefficients such that $P(Q(x)) = R(S(x))$. Prove that, if the degree of $P(x)$ is divisible by the degree of $R(x)$, then $P(x) = R(T(x))$ for some polynomial $T(x)$ with real coefficients.

Question 9

It turns out that $\Gamma$ has a spanning tree with exactly $r$ red edges, a spanning tree with exactly $g$ green edges, and a spanning tree with exactly $b$ blue edges. Prove that $\Gamma$ has a spanning tree with exactly $r$ red edges, exactly $g$ green edges, and exactly $b$ blue edges.

b) Find the smallest special number for which the sum of its digits is $2022$.

Question 13

Question 14

We say that 13 positive integers form a *special* group if the numbers of the group are consecutive.

a) Determine the number of special groups for which the sum of their elements is a three-digit perfect square.

b) Find the maximum number of primes in a special group.

Question 16

On a blackboard there are written, one after another, all positive integers from $1$ to $30000$, forming the following sequence of digits:
$123456789101112\ldots30000$.

Question 17

We say that a natural number $n \ge 2$ is *nice*, if in its prime factor decomposition, one of the primes has exponent 3.

a) Determine the smallest natural number $N$, such that no matter how we choose $N$ consecutive natural numbers, at least one of them is nice.
