9. A sequence of nonzero complex numbers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_{2020}$ satisfies $a_3=a_2^2+2a_1a_2$ and $$\frac{a_{n+2}}{a_{n+1}}-\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}=a_n+a_{n+1},$$ for all $2018\ge n\ge 2$.

There are $N$ monsters, each with a positive weight. On each step, two of the monsters are merged into one, whose weight is the sum of weights for the two original monsters. At the end, all monsters will be merged into one giant monster. During this process, if at any mergence, one of the two monsters has a weight greater than $2.020$ times the other monster's weight, we will call this mergence [b]dangerous[/b]. The dangerous level of a sequence of mergences is the number of dangerous mergence throughout its process. Prove that, no matter how the weights being distributed among the monsters, "for every step, merge the lightest two monsters" is always one of the merging sequences that obtain the minimum possible dangerous level.

A triangle $ ABC $ is given, and a segment $ PQ=t $ on $ BC $ such that $ P $ is between $ B $ and $ Q $ and $ Q $ is between $ P $ and $ C $.

An integer $ n $ is called good if $ |n| $ is not a square of an integer. Find all integers $m$ with the following property: $m$ can be represented in infinite ways as a sum of three disctinct good numbers, the product of which is the square of an odd integer.

Estimate the product of all the nonzero digits in the decimal expansion of $2020!$. If your estimate is $E$ and the answer is $A$, your score for this problem will be \[\max\Big(0, \Big\lfloor 15-0.02\cdot\Big\lvert \log_{10}\Big(\frac{A}{E}\Big)\Big\rvert \Big\rfloor\Big).\] [i]Proposed by Alex Li[/i]

In the future, MIT has attracted so many students that its buildings have become skyscrapers. Ben and Jerry decide to go ziplining together. Ben starts at the top of the Green Building, and ziplines to the bottom of the Stata Center. After waiting $a$ seconds, Jerry starts at the top of the Stata Center, and ziplines to the bottom of the Green Building. The Green Building is $160$ meters tall, the Stata Center is $90$ meters tall, and the two buildings are $120$ meters apart. Furthermore, both zipline at $10$ meters per second. Given that Ben and Jerry meet at the point where the two ziplines cross, compute $100a$.

Denote by $ M$ midpoint of side $ BC$ in an isosceles triangle $ \triangle ABC$ with $ AC = AB$. Take a point $ X$ on a smaller arc $ \overarc{MA}$ of circumcircle of triangle $ \triangle ABM$.

Prove that for any real numbers $a,b,c,d \geq \frac{1}{3}$ the following inequality holds: $$\sqrt{\frac{a^6}{b^4+c^3}+\frac{b^6}{c^4+d^3}+\frac{c^6}{d^4+a^3}+\frac{d^6}{a^4+b^3}}\geq \frac{a+b+c+d}{4}$$ [i]D. Zmiaikou[/i]

Prove that if in the following fraction we have $n$ radicals in the numerator and $n - 1$ in the denominator, then $$\frac{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+...+\sqrt{2}}}}{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+...+\sqrt{2}}}}>\frac14$$

In a room are several people, some of which always lie and all others always tell the truth. Their ages are pairwise distinct. Each person says one of the following phrases: "In this room, there is an equal number of truth-sayers older than me and of liars younger than me" or "In this room, there is an equal number of truth-sayers younger than me and of liars older than me" What is the maximum possible number of truth-sayers in the room? Find an example in which this maximum is achieved and prove a higher number is impossible.

We consider sports tournaments with $n \ge 4$ participating teams and where every pair of teams plays against one another at most one time. We call such a tournament [i]balanced [/i] if any four participating teams play exactly three matches between themselves. So, not all teams play against one another. Determine the largest value of $n$ for which a balanced tournament with $n$ teams exists.
