V Soros Olympiad 1998 - 99 (Russia), 10.7

High school graduate Igor Petrov, who dreamed of becoming a diplomat, took the entrance exam in mathematics to Moscow University. Igor remembered all the problems offered during the exam, but forgot some numerical data in one. This is the task: “When multiplying two natural numbers, the difference of which is $10$, an error was made: the hundreds digit in the product was increased by $2$. When dividing the resulting (incorrect) product by the smaller of the factors, the result was quotient $k$ and remainder $r$.. Find the numbers that needed to be multiplied.” . The values of $k$ and $r$ were given in the condition, but Igor forgot them. However, he remembered that the problem had two answers. What could the numbers $ k$ and $r$ be equal to (they are both integers and positive)? [i]Note. The problem in question was proposed at one of the humanities faculties of Moscow State University in 1991. [/i]

a) Prove that if the sum of the non-zero digits $a_1, a_2, ... , a_n$ is a multiple of $27$, then it is possible to permute these digits in order to obtain an $n$-digit number that is a multiple of $27$. b) Prove that if the non-zero digits $a_1, a_2, ... , a_n$ have the property that every ndigit number obtained by permuting these digits is a multiple of $27$, then the sum of these digits is a multiple of $27$

Let $n$ be a positive integer. There are $n$ soldiers stationed on the $n$th root of unity in the complex plane. Each round, you pick a point, and all the soldiers shoot in a straight line towards that point; if their shot hits another soldier, the hit soldier dies and no longer shoots during the next round. What is the minimum number of rounds, in terms of $n$, required to eliminate all the soldiers? [i]David Yang.[/i]

For $n \ge 1$, let $a_n$ be the largest odd divisor of $n$, and let $b_n = a_1+a_2+...+a_n$. Prove that $b_n \ge \frac{ n^2 + 2}{3}$, and determine for which $n$ equality holds. For example, $a_1 = 1, a_2 = 1, a_3 = 3, a_4 = 1, a_5 = 5, a_6 = 3$, thus $b_6 = 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 3 = 14 \ge \frac{ 6^2 + 2}{3}= 12\frac23$ .
