A sequence $ \left( x_n\right)_{n\ge 0} $ of real numbers satisfies $ x_0>1=x_{n+1}\left( x_n-\left\lfloor x_n\right\rfloor\right) , $ for each $ n\ge 1. $
Prove that if $ \left( x_n\right)_{n\ge 0} $ is periodic, then $ x_0 $ is a root of a quadratic equation. Study the converse.

Given $2012$ distinct points $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ on the Cartesian plane. For any permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$ of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ define the [i]shadow[/i] of a point $P$ as follows: [i]Point $P$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_1$ resulting $P_1$, point $P_1$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_2$ resulting $P_2$, ..., point $P_{2011}$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_{2012}$ resulting $P_{2012}$. Then, $P_{2012}$ is called the shadow of $P$ with respect to the permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$.[/i]
Let $N$ be the number of different shadows of $P$ up to all permutations of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$. Determine the maximum value of $N$.

Each integer is colored with exactly one of $3$ possible colors -- black, red or white -- satisfying the following two rules : the negative of a black number must be colored white, and the sum of two white numbers (not necessarily distinct) must be colored black.
[b](a)[/b] Show that, the negative of a white number must be colored black and the sum of two black numbers must be colored white.
[b](b)[/b] Determine all possible colorings of the integers that satisfy these rules.

A number is called [i]good[/i] if it can be written as the sum of the squares of three consecutive positive integers. A number is called excellent if it can be written as the sum of the squares of four consecutive positive integers. (For instance, $14 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2$ is good and $30 =1^2 +2^2 +3^2+4^2$ is excellent.) A good number $G$ is called [i]splendid[/i] if there exists an excellent number $E$ such that $3G-E = 2025.$ If the sum of all splendid numbers is $S,$ find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000.$

Pasha placed numbers from 1 to 100 in the cells of the square $10\times 10$, each number exactly once. After that, Dima considered all sorts of squares, with the sides going along the grid lines, consisting of more than one cell, and painted in green the largest number in each such square (one number could be colored many times). Is it possible that all two-digit numbers are painted green?

Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle. Let $\ell$ be a line passing through point $B$ that lies outside of the triangle $ABC$ and creates different angles with sides $AB$ and $BC$ . The point $M$ is the midpoint of side $AC$ and the ponts $H_a$ and $H_c$ are the bases of the perpendicular lines on the line $\ell$ drawn from points $A$ and $C$ respectively. The circle circumscribing triangle $MBH_a$ intersects AB at the point $A_1$ and the circumscribed circle of triangle $MBH_c$ intersects $BC$ at point $C_1$. The point $A_2$ is symmetric to the point $A$ relative to the point $A_1$ and the point $C_2$ is symmetric to the point $C_1$ relative to the point $C_1$. Prove that the lines $\ell$, $AC_2$ and $CA_2$ intersect at one point.
