Each positive integer is coloured red or blue. A function $f$ from the set of positive integers to itself has the following two properties: (a) if $x\le y$, then $f(x)\le f(y)$; and (b) if $x,y$ and $z$ are (not necessarily distinct) positive integers of the same colour and $x+y=z$, then $f(x)+f(y)=f(z)$. Prove that there exists a positive number $a$ such that $f(x)\le ax$ for all positive integers $x$. [i](United Kingdom) Ben Elliott[/i]
