2010 Czech And Slovak Olympiad III A, 3

Rumburak kidnapped $31$ members of party $A$ , $28$ members of party $B$, $23$ members of party $C$, $19$ members of Party $D$ and each of them in a separate cell. After work out occasionally they could walk in the yard and talk. Once three people started to talk to each other members of three different parties, Rumburak re-registered them to the fourth party as a punishment.(They never talked to each other more than three kidnapped.) a) Could it be that after some time all were abducted by members of one party? Which? b) Determine all four positive integers of which the sum is $101$ and which as the numbers of kidnapped members of the four parties allow the Rumburaks all of them became members of one party over time.

Consider $9$ points in space, no four of which are coplanar. Each pair of points is joined by an edge (that is, a line segment) and each edge is either colored blue or red or left uncolored. Find the smallest value of $\,n\,$ such that whenever exactly $\,n\,$ edges are colored, the set of colored edges necessarily contains a triangle all of whose edges have the same color.

A map $ F : P(X) \rightarrow P(X)$, where $ P(X)$ denotes the set of all subsets of $ X$, is called a $ \textit{closure operation}$ on $ X$ if for arbitrary $ A,B \subset X$, the following conditions hold: (i) $ A \subset F(A);$ (ii) $ A \subset B \Rightarrow F(A) \subset F(B);$ (iii) $ F(F(A))\equal{}F(A)$. The cardinal number $ \min \{ |A| : \;A \subset X\ ,\;F(A)\equal{}X\ \}$ is called the $ \textit{density}$ of $ F$ and is denoted by $ d(F)$. A set $ H \subset X$ is called $ \textit{discrete}$ with respect to $ F$ if $ u \not \in F(H\minus{}\{ u \})$ holds for all $ u \in H$. Prove that if the density of the closure operation $ F$ is a singular cardinal number, then for any nonnegative integer $ n$, there exists a set of size $ n$ that is discrete with respect to $ F$. Show that the statement is not true when the existence of an infinite discrete subset is required, even if $ F$ is the closure operation of a topological space satisfying the $ T_1$ separation axiom.

The quadrilateral $ABCD$ has the following equality $\angle ABC=\angle BCD=150^{\circ}$. Moreover, $AB=18$ and $BC=24$, the equilateral triangles $\triangle APB,\triangle BQC,\triangle CRD$ are drawn outside the quadrilateral. If $P(X)$ is the perimeter of the polygon $X$, then the following equality is true $P(APQRD)=P(ABCD)+32$. Determine the length of the side $CD$.

To every vertex of a regular pentagon a real number is assigned. We may perform the following operation repeatedly: we choose two adjacent vertices of the pentagon and replace each of the two numbers assigned to these vertices by their arithmetic mean. Is it always possible to obtain the position in which all five numbers are zeroes, given that in the initial position the sum of all five numbers is equal to zero?

2020 Princeton University Math Competition, 13

Will and Lucas are playing a game. Will claims that he has a polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients in mind, but Lucas doesn’t believe him. To see if Will is lying, Lucas asks him on minute $i$ for the value of $f(i)$, starting from minute $ 1$. If Will is telling the truth, he will report $f(i)$. Otherwise, he will randomly and uniformly pick a positive integer from the range $[1,(i+1)!]$. Now, Lucas is able to tell whether or not the values that Will has given are possible immediately, and will call out Will if this occurs. If Will is lying, say the probability that Will makes it to round $20$ is $a/b$. If the prime factorization of $b$ is $p_1^{e_1}... p_k^{e_k}$ , determine the sum $\sum_{i=1}^{k} e_i$.

Let $n \ge 4$ be a natural number. Let $A_1A_2 \cdots A_n$ be a regular polygon and $X = \{ 1,2,3....,n \} $. A subset $\{ i_1, i_2,\cdots, i_k \} $ of $X$, with $k \ge 3$ and $i_1 < i_2 < \cdots < i_k$, is called a good subset if the angles of the polygon $A_{i_1}A_{i_2}\cdots A_{i_k}$ , when arranged in the increasing order, are in an arithmetic progression. If $n$ is a prime, show that a proper good subset of $X$ contains exactly four elements.
