Given an integer $m\ge 2$, find the smallest integer $k > m$ such that for any partition of the set $\{m,m + 1,..,k\}$ into two classes $A$ and $B$ at least one of the classes contains three numbers $a,b,c$ (not necessarily distinct) such that $a^b = c$.

Let $a,b,c,m$ be integers, where $m>1$. Prove that if $$a^n+bn+c\equiv0\pmod m$$for each natural number $n$, then $b^2\equiv0\pmod m$. Must $b\equiv0\pmod m$ also hold?

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral with $AC = BD$. Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ meet at $P$. Let $\omega_1$ and $O_1$ denote the circumcircle and the circumcenter of triangle $ABP$. Let $\omega_2$ and $O_2$ denote the circumcircle and circumcenter of triangle $CDP$. Segment $BC$ meets $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ again at $S$ and $T$ (other than $B$ and $C$), respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of minor arcs $\widehat {SP}$ (not including $B$) and $\widehat {TP}$ (not including $C$). Prove that $MN \parallel O_1O_2$.

In a tournament among six teams, every team plays against each other team exactly once. When a team wins, it receives $3$ points and the losing team receives $0$ points. If the game is a draw, the two teams receive $1$ point each. Can the final scores of the six teams be six consecutive numbers $a,a +1,...,a + 5$? If so, determine all values of $a$ for which this is possible.

A mathematical contest had $3$ problems, each of which was given a score between $0$ and $7$ ($0$ and $7$ included). It is known that, for any two contestants, there exists at most one problem in which they have obtained the same score (for example, there are no two contestants whose ordered scores are $7,1,2$ and $7,1,5$, but there might be two contestants whose ordered scores are $7,1,2$ and $7,2,1$). Find the maximum number of contestants.

Two ants are moving along the edges of a convex polyhedron. The route of every ant ends in its starting point, so that one ant does not pass through the same point twice along its way. On every face $F$ of the polyhedron are written the number of edges of $F$ belonging to the route of the first ant and the number of edges of $F$ belonging to the route of the second ant. Is there a polyhedron and a pair of routes described as above, such that only one face contains a pair of distinct numbers? [i]Proposed by Nikolai Beluhov[/i]
