p1. $A$ is a set of numbers. The set $A$ is closed to subtraction, meaning that the result of subtracting two numbers in $A$ will be returns a number in $A$ as well. If it is known that two members of $A$ are $4$ and $9$, show that: a. $0\in A$ b. $13 \in A$ c. $74 \in A$ d. Next, list all the members of the set $A$ . p2. $(2, 0, 4, 1)$ is one of the solutions/answers of $x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=7$. If all solutions belong on the set of not negative integers , specify as many possible solutions/answers from $x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=7$ p3. Adi is an employee at a textile company on duty save data. One time Adi was asked by the company leadership to prepare data on production increases over five periods. After searched by Adi only found four data on the increase, namely $4\%$, $9\%$, $7\%$, and $5\%$. One more data, namely the $5$th data, was not found. Investigate increase of 5th data production, if Adi only remembers that the arithmetic mean and median of the five data are the same. p4. Find all pairs of integers $(x,y)$ that satisfy the system of the following equations: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} x(y+1)=y^2-1 \\ y(x+1)=x^2-1 \end{array} \right. $$ p5.

A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if $\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and $\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar. Prove that there exist two distinct nice subsets $S$ and $S'$ of the set $\{(x, y) : x \geq 0, y \geq 0\}$ such that if $A \in S$ and $A' \in S'$ are the unique choices of points in $\text{(ii)}$, then the product $BA \cdot BA'$ is a constant independent of the triangle $P_1P_2P_3$.

Uri has $99$ empty bags and an unlimited number of balls. The weight of each ball is a number of the form $3^n$ where $n$ is an integer that can vary from ball to ball (negative integer exponents are allowed, such as $3^{-4}=\dfrac{1}{81}$, and the exponent $0$, where $3^0=1$). Uri chose a finite number of balls and distributed them into the bags so that all the bags had the same total weight and there were no balls left over. It is known that Uri chose at most $k$ balls of the same weight. Determine the smallest possible value of $k$.

2008 Tournament Of Towns, 5

On a straight track are several runners, each running at a di fferent constant speed. They start at one end of the track at the same time. When a runner reaches any end of the track, he immediately turns around and runs back with the same speed (then he reaches the other end and turns back again, and so on). Some time after the start, all runners meet at the same point. Prove that this will happen again.

A zerg player can produce one zergling every minute and a protoss player can produce one zealot every $2.1$ minutes. Both players begin building their respective units immediately from the beginning of the game. In a ght, a zergling army overpowers a zealot army if the ratio of zerglings to zealots is more than $3$. What is the total amount of time (in minutes) during the game such that at that time the zergling army would overpower the zealot army?

A magician has one hundred cards numbered 1 to 100. He puts them into three boxes, a red one, a white one and a blue one, so that each box contains at least one card. A member of the audience draws two cards from two different boxes and announces the sum of numbers on those cards. Given this information, the magician locates the box from which no card has been drawn. How many ways are there to put the cards in the three boxes so that the trick works?
