Let $n > 1$ be a given integer. Prove that infinitely many terms of the sequence $(a_k )_{k\ge 1}$, defined by \[a_k=\left\lfloor\frac{n^k}{k}\right\rfloor,\] are odd. (For a real number $x$, $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the largest integer not exceeding $x$.) [i]Proposed by Hong Kong[/i]

One day, Rabbit was about to go for a meeting with Donkey, but Winnie the Pooh and Duck unexpectedly came to his home. Being well-bred, Rabbit offered the guests some refreshments. Pooh tied Duck’s mouth by a napkin and ate $10$ pots of honey and $22$ cups of condensed milk alone, whereby he needed two minutes for each pot of honey and $1$ minute for each cup of milk. Knowing that there was nothing sweet left in the house, Pooh released the Duck. Afflicted Rabbit observed that he wouldn’t have been late for the meeting with Donkey if Pooh had shared the refreshments with Duck. Knowing that Duck needs $5$ minutes for a pot of honey and $3$ minutes for a cup of milk, he computed the time the guests would have needed to devastate his supplies. What is that time?

Suppose a function $f(x)$ is continuous on $[-1,\ 1]$ and satisfies the condition : 1) $f(-1)\geq f(1).$ 2) $x+f(x)$ is non decreasing function. 3) $\int_{-1}^ 1 f(x)\ dx=0.$ Show that $\int_{-1}^1 f(x)^2dx\leq \frac 23.$

$6$ cats can eat $6$ fish in $1$ day, and $c$ cats can eat $91$ fish in $d$ days. Given that $c$ and $d$ are both whole numbers, and the number of cats, $c$, is more than $1$ but less than $10$, find $c + d$.

2011 Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Qualification Repechage, 2

Brennan chooses a set $A = \{a, b,c, d, e \}$ of five real numbers with $a \leq b \leq c \leq d \leq e.$ Delaney determines the subsets of $A$ containing three numbers and adds up the numbers in these subsets. She obtains the sums $0, 3; 4, 8; 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 19.$ What are the five numbers in Brennan's set?

Let $OX, OY$ and $OZ$ be three rays in the space, and $G$ a point "[i]between these rays[/i]" (i. e. in the interior of the part of the space bordered by the angles $Y OZ, ZOX$ and $XOY$). Consider a plane passing through $G$ and meeting the rays $OX, OY$ and $OZ$ in the points $A, B, C$, respectively. There are infinitely many such planes; construct the one which minimizes the volume of the tetrahedron $OABC$.

Let $G$ be a directed graph with infinitely many vertices. It is known that for each vertex the outdegree is greater than the indegree. Let $O$ be a fixed vertex of $G$. For an arbitrary positive number $n$, let $V_{n}$ be the number of vertices which can be reached from $O$ passing through at most $n$ edges ( $O$ counts). Find the smallest possible value of $V_{n}$.

Let $C$ be a closed convex curve with a continuously turning tangent and let $O$ be a point inside $C.$ For each point $P$ on $C$ we define $T(P)$ as follows: Draw the tangent to $C$ at $P$ and from $O$ drop the perpendicular to that tangent. Then $T(P)$ is the point at which $C$ intersects this perpendicular. Starting now with a point $P_{0}$ on $C$, define points $P_n$ by $P_n =T(P_{n-1}).$ Prove that the points $P_{n}$ approach a limit and characterize all possible limit points. (You may assume that $T$ is continuous.)
