Let $X{}$ be a set of integers which can be partitioned into $N{}$ disjoint increasing arithmetic progressions (infinite in both directions), and cannot be partitioned into a smaller number of such progressions. Is such partition into $N{}$ progressions unique for every such $X{}$ if a) $N = 2{}$ and b) $N = 3$? [i]Viktor Kleptsyn[/i]

2011 QEDMO 10th, 10

The great Zagier and his assistant performed a magic trick, which was a natural one number $n$ involved. To do this, Zagier distributes $n$ identical coins (with heads and tails on the sides) and then leave the hall. The audience now arranges the coins in a row, you can choose the top side of each coin as you like, and then tell the assistant one natural number $k$ from $1$ to $n$. This then turns over exactly one coin, whereupon Zagier is brought in and placed in front of said coins. To the surprise of the non-mathematical, he can name the number $k$ to the public. For which natural numbers $n$ can this trick be carried out, if the two are allowed to coordinate only before the show, but during the show they do not use any magic tricks?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Suppose that $A$ and $B$ are invertible $n \times n$ matrices with complex entries such that $A+B=I$ (where $I$ is the identity matrix) and \[(A^2+B^2)(A^4+B^4)=A^5+B^5.\] Find all possible values of $\det(AB)$ for the given $n$.

Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ that passes through $M$. Suppose $ABCDEF$ is a cyclic hexagon such that $l(A, BDF), l(B, ACE), l(D, ABF), l(E, ABC)$ intersect at a single point. Prove that $CDEF$ is a rectangle. [color=blue]Should the first sentence read: Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ [u]with respect to[/u] $M$. ? Since it appears weird that a Simson line that passes a point is to be constructed. However, this is Unsolved after all, so I'm not sure.[/color]

8) A train, originally of mass $M$, is traveling on a frictionless straight horizontal track with constant speed $v$. Snow starts to fall vertically and sticks to the train at a rate of $\rho$, where $\rho$ has units of kilograms per second. The train's engine keeps the train moving at constant speed $v$ as snow accumulates on the train. What is the minimum power required from the engine to keep the train traveling at a constant speed v? A) $0$ B) $Mgv$ C) $\frac{1}{2}Mv^2$ D) $\frac{1}{2}pv^2$ E) $\rho v^2$

2022 Serbia JBMO TST, 3

Find all natural numbers $n$ for which the following $5$ conditions hold: $(1)$ $n$ is not divisible by any perfect square bigger than $1$. $(2)$ $n$ has exactly one prime divisor of the form $4k+3$, $k\in \mathbb{N}_0$. $(3)$ Denote by $S(n)$ the sum of digits of $n$ and $d(n)$ as the number of positive divisors of $n$. Then we have that $S(n)+2=d(n)$. $(4)$ $n+3$ is a perfect square. $(5)$ $n$ does not have a prime divisor which has $4$ or more digits.

From a point $P$, two tangent lines are drawn to a circle $\Gamma$, which touch it at points $A$ and $B$. A circle $\Phi$ is drawn with center at $P$ and passes through $A$ and $B$ and is taken a point $R$ that is on the circumference $\Phi$ and in the interior of $\Gamma$.

Prove that $CD$ passes through the midpoint of $SQ$.
