For the function $f(x)=\int_0^x \frac{dt}{1+t^2}$, answer the questions as follows. Note : Please solve the problems without using directly the formula $\int \frac{1}{1+x^2}\ dx=\tan^{-1}x +C$ for Japanese High School students those who don't study arc sin x, arc cos x, arc tanx. (1) Find $f(\sqrt{3})$ (2) Find $\int_0^{\sqrt{3}} xf(x)\ dx$ (3) Prove that for $x>0$. $f(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$ is constant, then find the value.

Call a triple of numbers [b]Nice[/b] if one of them is the average of the other two. Assume that we have $2k+1$ distinct real numbers with $k^2$ [b] Nice[/b] triples. Prove that these numbers can be devided into two arithmetic progressions with equal ratios Proposed by [i]Morteza Saghafian[/i]

For positive real numbers $a, b$ and $c$, prove that $$\frac{a^3}{a^2 + ab + b^2} +\frac{b^3}{b^2 + bc + c^2} +\frac{c^3}{ c^2 + ca + a^2} \ge\frac{ a + b + c}{3}$$

For every positive integer $n$ with prime factorization $n = \prod_{i = 1}^{k} p_i^{\alpha_i}$, define \[\mho(n) = \sum_{i: \; p_i > 10^{100}} \alpha_i.\] That is, $\mho(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ greater than $10^{100}$, counted with multiplicity. Find all strictly increasing functions $f: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}$ such that \[\mho(f(a) - f(b)) \le \mho(a - b) \quad \text{for all integers } a \text{ and } b \text{ with } a > b.\] [i]Proposed by Rodrigo Sanches Angelo, Brazil[/i]

We are given two three-litre bottles, one containing $1$ litre of water and the other containing $1$ litre of $2\%$ salt solution . One can pour liquids from one bottle to the other and then mix them to obtain solutions of different concentration . Can one obtain a $1 . 5\%$ solution of salt in the bottle which originally contained water? (S . Fomin, Leningrad),

A dissection of a convex polygon into finitely many triangles by segments is called a [i]trilateration[/i] if no three vertices of the created triangles lie on a single line (vertices of some triangles might lie inside the polygon). We say that a trilateration is [i]good[/i] if its segments can be replaced with one-way arrows in such a way that the arrows along every triangle of the trilateration form a cycle and the arrows along the whole convex polygon also form a cycle. Find all $n\ge 3$ such that the regular $n$-gon has a good trilateration.

$ O $ is the circumcentre of $ ABC $ and $ A_1\neq A $ is the point on $ AO $ and the circumcircle of $ ABC. $ The centers of mass of $ ABC, A_1BC $ are $ G,G_1, $ respectively, and $ P $ is the intersection of $ AG_1 $ with $ OG. $ Show that $ \frac{PG}{PO}=\frac{2}{3} . $ [i]Gabriel Popa, Paul Georgescu[/i]

Let $x, y$ and $z$ be nonnegative real numbers satisfying the following conditions: (1) $x + cy \le 36$,(2) $2x+ 3z \le 72$, where $c$ is a given positive number. Prove that if $c \ge 3$ then the maximum of the sum $x + y + z$ is $36$, while if $c < 3$, the maximum of the sum is $24 + \frac{36}{c}$ .
