Find all integers $n \geq 3$ such that among any $n$ positive real numbers $a_1, a_2, \hdots, a_n$ with $\text{max}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n) \leq n \cdot \text{min}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n)$, there exist three that are the side lengths of an acute triangle.
Bugs Bunny plays a game in the Euclidean plane. At the $n$-th minute $(n \geq 1)$, Bugs Bunny hops a distance of $F_n$ in the North, South, East, or West direction, where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number (defined by $F_1 = F_2 =1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 3$). If the first two hops were perpendicular, prove that Bugs Bunny can never return to where he started.

Let $F_n{}$ denote the $n{}$-th Fibonacci number. Prove that $3^{2023}$ divides \[3^2\cdot F_4+3^3\cdot F_6+3^4\cdot F_8+\dots+3^{2023}F_{4046}.\][i]Proposed by Dylan Toh[/i]
Let $\{fn\}$ be the Fibonacci sequence $\{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, \dots.\}. $
(a) Find all pairs $(a, b)$ of real numbers such that for each $n$, $af_n +bf_{n+1}$ is a member of the sequence.
(b) Find all pairs $(u, v)$ of positive real numbers such that for each $n$, $uf_n^2 +vf_{n+1}^2$ is a member of the sequence.
Let $\{F_n\}^\infty_{n=1}$ be the Fibonacci sequence and let $f$ be a polynomial of degree $1006$ such that $f(k) = F_k$ for all $k \in \{1008, \dots , 2014\}$. Prove that $$233\mid f(2015)+1.$$
[i]Note: $F_1=F_2=1$ and $F_{n+2}=F_{n+1}+F_n$ for all $n\geq 1$.[/i]
We all know the Fibonacci sequence. However, a slightly less known sequence is the $k$-bonacci sequence. In it, we have $F_1^{(k)} = F_2^{(k)} = \cdots = F_{k-1}^{(k)} = 0, F_k^{(k)} = 1$ and $$F^{(k)}_{n+k} = F^{(k)}_{n+k-1} + F^{(k)}_{n+k-2} + \cdots + F^{(k)}_n,$$for all $n \geq 1$. Find all positive integers $k$ for which there exists a constant $N$ such that $$F^{(k)}_{n-1}F^{(k)}_{n+1} - (F ^{(k)}_n)^2 = (-1)^n$$ for every positive integer $n \geq N$.
The Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ are defined inductively by $F_0=0, F_1=1$, and $F_{n+1}=F_n+F_{n-1}$ for $n \ge 1$. Given an integer $n \ge 2$, determine the smallest size of a set $S$ of integers such that for every $k=2, 3, . . . , n$ there exist some $x, y \in S$ such that $x-y=F_k$.

The sequence $(a_k)$, $k> 0$ is Fibonacci, with $a_0 = a_1 = 1$. Calculate the value of $$\sum_{j = 0}^{\infty} \frac{a_j}{2^j}$$
Find all integers $n \geq 3$ such that among any $n$ positive real numbers $a_1, a_2, \hdots, a_n$ with $\text{max}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n) \leq n \cdot \text{min}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n)$, there exist three that are the side lengths of an acute triangle.
