Prove that for all positive $a_1. a_2, ..., a_n$ the inequality $$\left( 1+\frac{a_1^2}{a_2}\right) \left( 1+\frac{a_2^2}{a_3}\right) ...\left( 1+\frac{a_n^2}{a_1}\right) \ge (1+a_1)(1+a_2)...(1+a_n)$$ holds. (LD Kurliandchik)

Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. Alice and Bob play a game concerning a country made of $n$ islands. Exactly two of those $n$ islands have a factory. Initially there is no bridge in the country. Alice and Bob take turns in the following way. In each turn, the player must build a bridge between two different islands $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that: $\bullet$ $I_1$ and $I_2$ are not already connected by a bridge. $\bullet$ at least one of the two islands $I_1$ and $I_2$ is connected by a series of bridges to an island with a factory (or has a factory itself). (Indeed, access to a factory is needed for the construction.) As soon as a player builds a bridge that makes it possible to go from one factory to the other, this player loses the game. (Indeed, it triggers an industrial battle between both factories.) If Alice starts, then determine (for each $n\geq 2$) who has a winning strategy. ([i]Note:[/i] It is allowed to construct a bridge passing above another bridge.)

2008 South East Mathematical Olympiad, 3

Captain Jack and his pirate men plundered six chests of treasure $(A_1,A_2,A_3,A_4,A_5,A_6)$. Every chest $A_i$ contains $a_i$ coins of gold, and all $a_i$s are pairwise different $(i=1,2,\cdots ,6)$. They place all chests according to a layout (see the attachment) and start to alternately take out one chest a time between the captain and a pirate who serves as the delegate of the captain’s men. A rule must be complied with during the game: only those chests that are not adjacent to other two or more chests are allowed to be taken out. The captain will win the game if the coins of gold he obtains are not less than those of his men in the end. Let the captain be granted to take chest firstly, is there a certain strategy for him to secure his victory?

2024 Iran MO (3rd Round), 1

Given a sequence $x_1,x_2,x_3,\cdots$ of positive integers, Ali proceed the following algorythm: In the i-th step he markes all rational numbers in the interval $[0,1]$ which have denominator equal to $x_i$. Then he write down the number $a_i$ equal to the length of the smallest interval in $[0,1]$ which both two ends of that is a marked number. Find all sequences $x_1,x_2,x_3,\cdots$ with $x_5=5$ and such that for all $n\in \mathbb N$ we have $$ a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n= 2-\dfrac{1}{x_n}. $$ Proposed by [i]Mojtaba Zare[/i]

Richard comes across an infinite row of magic hats, $H_1, H_2, \dots$ each of which may contain a dollar bill with probabilities $p_1, p_2, \dots$. If Richard draws a dollar bill from $H_i$, then $p_{i+1} = p_i$, and if not, $p_{i+1}=\frac{1}{2}p_i$. If $p_1 = \frac{1}{2}$ and $E$ is the expected amount of money Richard makes from all the hats, compute $\lfloor 100E \rfloor$. [i]Proposed by Alex Li[/i]
