2020 Polish Junior MO First Round, 7.

Consider the right prism with the rhombus with side $a$ and acute angle $60^{\circ}$ as a base. This prism was intersected by some plane intersecting its side edges, such that the cross-section of the prism and the plane is a square. Determine all possible lengths of the side of this square.

Let $S$ be the set of the positive integers greater than $1$, and let $n$ be from $S$. Does there exist a function $f$ from $S$ to itself such that for all pairwise distinct positive integers $a_1, a_2,...,a_n$ from $S$, we have $f(a_1)f(a_2)...f(a_n)=f(a_1^na_2^n...a_n^n)$?

One student in a class of boys and girls is chosen to represent the class. Each student is equally likely to be chosen and the probability that a boy is chosen is $ \frac23$ of the probability that a girl is chosen. The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of boys and girls is $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac13 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac25 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac12 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac35 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac23$

Let $a$ and $b$ positive real numbers such that $(65a^2 + 2ab + b^2)(a^2 + 8ab + 65b^2) = (8a^2 + 39ab + 7b^2)^2$. Then one possible value of $\frac{a}{b}$ satis es $2 \left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = m +\sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m + n$.

2006 China Team Selection Test, 3

Given positive integers $m$ and $n$ so there is a chessboard with $mn$ $1 \times 1$ grids. Colour the grids into red and blue (Grids that have a common side are not the same colour and the grid in the left corner at the bottom is red). Now the diagnol that goes from the left corner at the bottom to the top right corner is coloured into red and blue segments (Every segment has the same colour with the grid that contains it). Find the sum of the length of all the red segments.

$A$ is the set of points of a convex $n$-gon on a plane. The distinct pairwise distances between any $2$ points in $A$ arranged in descending order is $d_1>d_2>...>d_m>0$. Let the number of unordered pairs of points in $A$ such that their distance is $d_i$ be exactly $\mu _i$, for $i=1, 2,..., m$. Prove: For any positive integer $k\leq m$, $\mu _1+\mu _2+...+\mu _k\leq (3k-1)n$.

Consider the sequence of integers $0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12,...$ obtained by starting with zero, adding $1$, then adding $1$ again, then adding $2$, and adding $2$ again, then adding $3$, and adding $3$ again, and so on. If we call the subsequent terms of this sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$, then we have $a_0 = 0$, and $a_{2n-1} = a_{2n-2} + n$ , $a_{2n} = a_{2n-1} + n$ for all integers $n \ge 1$. Find all integers $k \ge 0$ for which $a_k$ is the square of an integer.

A wooden cube, whose edges are one centimeter long, rests on a horizontal surface. Illuminated by a point source of light that is $x$ centimeters directly above an upper vertex, the cube casts a shadow on the horizontal surface. The area of the shadow, which does not inclued the area beneath the cube is 48 square centimeters. Find the greatest integer that does not exceed $1000x.$

2017 Germany Team Selection Test, 1

The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?

There are several white and black points. Every white point is connected with every black point by a segment. Each segment is equipped with a positive integer. For any closed circuit the product of the integers on the segments passed in the direction from white to black point is equal to the product of the integers on the segments passed in the opposite direction. Can one always place the integer at each point so that the integer on each segment is the product of the integers at its ends?

Three players Alexander, Beverley and Catherine participate in a tournament (all of them play the same number of games with each other). Is it possible that Alexander gets more points than the others, Catherine gets less points than the others, but Alexander has a smaller number of wins than the others and Catherine has a greater number of wins than the others? (A win scores $1$ point, a draw scores $\frac12$.) (A Rubin,)
