Let $k$ be a positive integer. Show that exists positive integer $n$, such that sets $A = \{ 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, ...\}$ and $B = \{1^2 + n, 2^2 + n, 3^2 + n, ... \}$ have exactly $k$ common elements.

Let $n>1$ be a positive integer. Each cell of an $n\times n$ table contains an integer. Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied: [list=1] [*] Each number in the table is congruent to $1$ modulo $n$. [*] The sum of numbers in any row, as well as the sum of numbers in any column, is congruent to $n$ modulo $n^2$. [/list] Let $R_i$ be the product of the numbers in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row, and $C_j$ be the product of the number in the $j^{\text{th}}$ column. Prove that the sums $R_1+\hdots R_n$ and $C_1+\hdots C_n$ are congruent modulo $n^4$.

Acute triangle $ABP$, where $AB > BP$, has altitudes $BH$, $PQ$, and $AS$. Let $C$ denote the intersection of lines $QS$ and $AP$, and let $L$ denote the intersection of lines $HS$ and $BC$. If $HS = SL$ and $HL$ is perpendicular to $BC$, find the value of $\frac{SL}{SC}$.

Find all functions $f : \Bbb{Q}_{>0}\to \Bbb{Z}_{>0}$ such that $$f(xy)\cdot \gcd\left( f(x)f(y), f(\frac{1}{x})f(\frac{1}{y})\right) = xyf(\frac{1}{x})f(\frac{1}{y}),$$ for all $x, y \in \Bbb{Q}_{>0,}$ where $\gcd(a, b)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b.$

Let $D_{1}, D_{2}, . . . , D_{n}$ be rectangular parallelepipeds in space, with edges parallel to the $x, y, z$ axes. For each $D_{i}$, let $x_{i} , y_{i} , z_{i}$ be the lengths of its projections onto the $x, y, z$ axes, respectively. Suppose that for all pairs $D_{i}$ , $D_{j}$, if at least one of $x_{i} < x_{j}$ , $y_{i} < y_{j}$, $z_{i} < z_{j}$ holds, then $x_{i} \leq x_{j}$ , $y_{i} \leq y_{j}$, and $z_{i} < z_{j}$ . If the volume of the region $\bigcup^{n}_{i=1}{D_{i}}$ equals 1997, prove that there is a subset $\{D_{i_{1}}, D_{i_{2}}, . . . , D_{i_{m}}\}$ of the set $\{D_{1}, . . . , D_{n}\}$ such that $(i)$ if $k \not= l $ then $D_{i_{k}} \cap D_{i_{l}} = \emptyset $, and $(ii)$ the volume of $\bigcup^{m}_{k=1}{D_{i_{k}}}$ is at least 73.

The sequence $\{a_n\}$ is defined as follows: $a_1$ is a positive rational number, $a_n= \frac{p_n}{q_n}$, ($n= 1,2,…$) is a positive integer, where $p_n$ and $q_n$ are positive integers that are relatively prime, then $a_{n+1} = \frac{p_n^2+2015}{p_nq_n}$ Is there a$_1>2015$, making the sequence $\{a_n\}$ a bounded sequence? Justify your conclusion.
