Given three numbers $x, y, z$ denote the absolute values of the differences of each pair by $x_1,y_1, z_1$. From $x_1, y_1, z_1$ form in the same fashion the numbers $x_2, y_2, z_2$, etc. It is known that $x_n = x,y_n = y, z_n = z$ for some $n$. Find $y$ and $z$ if $x = 1$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $n$ a positive integer. Consider on the side $BC$ the points $A_1, A_2, ..., A_{2^n-1}$ that divide the side into $2^n$ equal parts, that is, $BA_1=A_1A_2=...=A_{2^n-2}A_{2^n-1}=A_{2^n-1}C$. Set the points $B_1, B_2, ..., B_{2^n-1}$ and $C_1, C_2, ..., C_{2^n-1}$ on the sides $CA$ and $AB$, respectively, analogously. Draw the line segments $AA_1, AA_2, ..., AA_{2^n-1}$, $BB_1, BB_2, ..., BB_{2^n-1}$ and $CC_1, CC_2, ..., CC_{2^n-1}$. Find, in terms of $n$, the number of regions into which the triangle is divided.

Let $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots <a_n$ be pairwise coprime positive integers with $a_1$ being prime and $a_1 \ge n + 2$. On the segment $I = [0, a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n ]$ of the real line, mark all integers that are divisible by at least one of the numbers $a_1 , \ldots , a_n$ . These points split $I$ into a number of smaller segments. Prove that the sum of the squares of the lengths of these segments is divisible by $a_1$. [i]Proposed by Serbia[/i]

Determine all real numbers $x\in\mathbb{R}$ for which \[ \left\lfloor \frac{x}{2} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{x}{3} \right\rfloor=x-2022. \] The notation $\lfloor z \rfloor$, for $z\in\mathbb{R}$, denotes the largest integer which is less than or equal to $z$. For example: \[\lfloor 3.98 \rfloor =3 \quad \text{and} \quad \lfloor 0.14 \rfloor =0.\]

Prove the inequality $\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{a\left(b+c\right)}+\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{b\left(c+a\right)}+\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{c\left(a+b\right)}\geq\frac32$ for any three positive reals $a$, $b$, $c$. [i]Comment.[/i] This was an attempt of creating a contrast to the (rather hard) inequality at the QEDMO before. However, it turned out to be more difficult than I expected (a wrong solution was presented during the competition). Darij
