KoMaL A Problems 2021/2022, A. 812

Two players play the following game: there are two heaps of tokens, and they take turns to pick some tokens from them. The winner of the game is the player who takes away the last token. If the number of tokens in the two heaps are $A$ and $B$ at a given moment, the player whose turn it is can take away a number of tokens that is a multiple of $A$ or a multiple of $B$ from one of the heaps. Find those pair of integers $(k,n)$ for which the second player has a winning strategy, if the initial number of tokens is $k$ in the first heap and $n$ in the second heap.

For arbitrary subset of $\{ i_1, i_2, \ldots , i_s \} \subset \{ 1, 2, 3, \ldots, k \} $, $A_{i_1} \triangle A_{i_2} \triangle ... \triangle A_{i_s}$ is not an empty set. Show that a subset $\{ j_1, j_2, .. ,j_t \} \subset \{ 1, 2, ... ,k \} $ exist that satisfies $n(A_{j_1} \triangle A_{j_2} \triangle \cdots \triangle A_{j_t}) \geq k$.

On the sides $PQ, QR, RP$ of $\vartriangle PQR$ segments $AB, CD, EF$ are drawn. Given a point $S_0$ inside triangle $\vartriangle PQR$, find the locus of points $S$ for which the sum of the areas of triangles $\vartriangle SAB$, $\vartriangle SCD$ and $\vartriangle SEF$ is equal to the sum of the areas of triangles $\vartriangle S_0AB$, $\vartriangle S_0CD$, $\vartriangle S0EF$. Consider separately the case $$\frac{AB}{PQ }= \frac{CD}{QR} = \frac{EF}{RP}.$$

A non-equilateral triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\Gamma$ with centre $O$, radius $R$ and its incircle has centre $I$ and touches $BC,CA,AB$ at $D,E, F$, respectively. A circle with centre $I$ and radius $r$ intersects the rays $[ID), [IE), [IF)$ at $A',B',C'$. Show that the orthocentre $K$ of $\vartriangle A'B'C'$ is on the line $OI$ and that $\frac{IK}{IO}=\frac{r}{R}$ Michel Bataille .

There are $N$ points on the plane; no three of them belong to the same straight line. Every pair of points is connected by a segment. Some of these segments are colored in red and the rest of them in blue. The red segments form a closed broken line without self-intersections(each red segment having only common endpoints with its two neighbors and no other common points with the other segments), and so do the blue segments. Find all possible values of $N$ for which such a disposition of $N$ points and such a choice of red and blue segments are possible.

G. H. Hardy once went to visit Srinivasa Ramanujan in the hospital, and he started the conversation with: “I came here in taxi-cab number $1729$. That number seems dull to me, which I hope isn’t a bad omen.” “Nonsense,” said Ramanujan. “The number isn’t dull at all. It’s quite interesting. It’s the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.” Ramujan had immediately seen that $1729=12^3+1^3=10^3+9^3$. What is the smallest positive integer representable as the sum of the cubes of [i]three[/i] positive integers in two different ways?
