2022 Francophone Mathematical Olympiad, 2

To connect to the OFM site, Alice must choose a password. The latter must be consisting of $n$ characters among the following $27$ characters: $$A, B, C, . . ., Y , Z, \#$$ We say that a password $m$ is [i]redundant [/i] if we can color in red and blue a block of consecutive letters of $m$ in such a way that the word formed from the red letters is identical to the word formed from blue letters. For example, the password $H\#ZBZJBJZ$ is redundant, because it contains the [color=#00f]ZB[/color][color=#f00]Z[/color][color=#00f]J[/color][color=#f00]BJ[/color] block, where the word $ZBJ$ appears in both blue and red. At otherwise, the $ABCACB$ password is not redundant. Show that, for any integer $n \ge 1$, there exist at least $18^n$ passwords of length $n$, that is to say formed of $n$ characters each, which are not redundant.

A positive integer is called [i]saturated [/i]i f any prime factor occurs at a power greater than or equal to $2$ in its factorisation. For example, numbers $8 = 2^3$ and $9 = 3^2$ are saturated, moreover, they are consecutive. Prove that there exist infinitely many saturated consecutive numbers.

Let $t\in R$. Prove that $\exists A:R \times R \to R$ such that A is a symmetric, biadditive, nonzero function and $A(tx,x)=0 \,\forall x\in R$ iff t is transcendental or (t is algebraic and t,-t are conjugates over $\mathbb{Q}$).

Let $P\left(X\right)=X^5+3X^4-4X^3-X^2-3X+4$. Determine the number of monic polynomials $Q\left(x\right)$ with integer coefficients such that $\frac{P\left(X\right)}{Q\left(X\right)}$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients. Note: a monic polynomial is one with leading coefficient $1$ (so $x^3-4x+5$ is one but not $5x^3-4x^2+1$ or $x^2+3x^3$). [i]2016 CCA Math Bonanza Individual #9[/i]

$100$ distinct natural numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_{100}$ are written on the board. Then, under each number $a_i$, someone wrote a number $b_i$, such that $b_i$ is the sum of $a_i$ and the greatest common factor of the other $99$ numbers. What is the least possible number of distinct natural numbers that can be among $b_1, b_2, b_3, \ldots, b_{100}$?

For positive integers $n$, let $S_n$ be the set of integers $x$ such that $n$ distinct lines, no three concurrent, can divide a plane into $x$ regions (for example, $S_2=\{3,4\}$, because the plane is divided into 3 regions if the two lines are parallel, and 4 regions otherwise). What is the minimum $i$ such that $S_i$ contains at least 4 elements?

2024 Singapore MO Open, Q4

Alice and Bob play a game. Bob starts by picking a set $S$ consisting of $M$ vectors of length $n$ with entries either $0$ or $1$. Alice picks a sequence of numbers $y_1\le y_2\le\dots\le y_n$ from the interval $[0,1]$, and a choice of real numbers $x_1,x_2\dots,x_n\in \mathbb{R}$. Bob wins if he can pick a vector $(z_1,z_2,\dots,z_n)\in S$ such that $$\sum_{i=1}^n x_iy_i\le \sum_{i=1}^n x_iz_i,$$otherwise Alice wins. Determine the minimum value of $M$ so that Bob can guarantee a win. [i]Proposed by DVDthe1st[/i]

It is known that $\sin 3x = 3 \sin x - 4 \sin^3x$. It is also easy to prove that $\sin nx$ for odd $n$ can be represented as a polynomial of degree $n$ of $\sin x$. Let $\sin 1999x = P(\sin x)$, where $P(t)$ is a polynomial of the $1999$th degree of $t$. Solve the equation $$P \left(\cos \frac{x}{1999}\right) = \frac12 .$$
