Let $a, b, c$ be positive reals such that $a + b + c = 1$ and $P(x) = 3^{2005}x^{2007 }- 3^{2005}x^{2006} - x^2$. Prove that $P(a) + P(b) + P(c) \le -1$.

A staircase has $100$ steps. Kolya wishes to descend the staircase by alternately jumping down some steps and then up some. The possible jumps he can do are through $6$ (i.e. over $5$ and landing on the $6$th) , $7$ or $8$ steps . He also does not wish to land twice on the same step . Can he descend the staircase in this way? ( S . Fomin, Leningrad)

Akello divides a square up into finitely many white and red rectangles, each (rectangle) with sides parallel to the sides of the parent square. Within each white rectangle, she writes down the value of its width divided by its height, while within each red rectangle, she writes down the value of its height divided by its width. Finally, she calculates $x$, the sum of these numbers. If the total area of the white rectangles equals the total area of the red rectangles, what is the least possible value of $x$ she can get?

In order to complete a large job, 1000 workers were hired, just enough to complete the job on schedule. All the workers stayed on the job while the first quarter of the work was done, so the first quarter of the work was completed on schedule. Then 100 workers were laid off, so the second quarter of the work was completed behind schedule. Then an additional 100 workers were laid off, so the third quarter of the work was completed still further behind schedule. Given that all workers work at the same rate, what is the minimum number of additional workers, beyond the 800 workers still on the job at the end of the third quarter, that must be hired after three-quarters of the work has been completed so that the entire project can be completed on schedule or before?

Show that triangle $ABC$ is right-angled if its angles satisfy the ratio $\cos^2A + \cos ^2B +\ cos ^2C=1$.

Find all triplets of integers $(a,b,c)$ such that the number $$N = \frac{(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)}{2} + 2$$ is a power of $2016$. (A power of $2016$ is an integer of form $2016^n$,where n is a non-negative integer.)

Let $n$ be an integer of the form $a^2 + b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime integers and such that if $p$ is a prime, $p \leq \sqrt{n}$, then $p$ divides $ab$. Determine all such $n$.

Numbers 1 and −1 are written in the cells of a board 2000×2000. It is known that the sum of all the numbers in the board is positive. Show that one can select 1000 rows and 1000 columns such that the sum of numbers written in their intersection cells is at least 1000. [i]D. Karpov[/i]

Given $4$ vectors $a,b,c,d$ in the plane, such that $a+b+c+d=0$. Prove the following inequality: $$|a|+|b|+|c|+|d| \ge |a+d|+|b+d|+|c+d|$$

In a triangle $ABC$, the external bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects the ray $BC$ at $D$. The feet of the perpendiculars from $B$ and $C$ to line $AD$ are $E$ and $F$, respectively and the foot of the perpendicular from $D$ to $AC$ is $G$. Show that $\angle DGE + \angle DGF = 180^{\circ}$.

Given are two sets of positive numbers with the same sum. The first set has $m$ numbers and the second $n$. Prove that you can find a set of less than $m+n$ positive numbers which can be arranged to part fill an $m \times n$ array, so that the row and column sums are the two given sets.

An ant crawls on the outer surface of the box in a shape of rectangular parallelepiped. From ant’s point of view, the distance between two points on a surface is defined by the length of the shortest path ant need to crawl to reach one point from the other. Is it true that if ant is at vertex then from ant’s point of view the opposite vertex be the most distant point on the surface?

Young Guy likes to make friends with numbers, so he calls a number “friendly” if the sum of its digits is equal to the product of its digits. How many $3 \text{digit friendly numbers}$ are there?

In an arcade game, the "monster" is the shaded sector of a circle of radius $ 1$ cm, as shown in the figure. The missing piece (the mouth) has central angle $ 60^{\circ}$. What is the perimeter of the monster in cm?

Some squares of the infinite sheet of cross-lined paper are red. Each $2\times 3$ rectangle (of $6$ squares) contains exactly two red squares. How many red squares can be in the $9\times 11$ rectangle of $99$ squares?

Let $ f : \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. Suppose that for any $ c > 0$, the graph of $ f$ can be moved to the graph of $ cf$ using only a translation or a rotation. Does this imply that $ f(x) = ax+b$ for some real numbers $ a$ and $ b$?

Let $r>1$ be a rational number. Alice plays a solitaire game on a number line. Initially there is a red bead at $0$ and a blue bead at $1$. In a move, Alice chooses one of the beads and an integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. If the chosen bead is at $x$, and the other bead is at $y$, then the bead at $x$ is moved to the point $x'$ satisfying $x'-y=r^k(x-y)$. Find all $r$ for which Alice can move the red bead to $1$ in at most $2021$ moves.
