Let $m,n$ be positive integers with $m \ge n$. Let $S$ be the set of pairs $(a,b)$ of relatively prime positive integers such that $a,b \le m$ and $a+b > m$.
For each pair $(a,b)\in S$, consider the nonnegative integer solution $(u,v)$ to the equation $au - bv = n$ chosen with $v \ge 0$ minimal, and let $I(a,b)$ denote the (open) interval $(v/a, u/b)$.
Prove that $I(a,b) \subseteq (0,1)$ for every $(a,b)\in S$, and that any fixed irrational number $\alpha\in(0,1)$ lies in $I(a,b)$ for exactly $n$ distinct pairs $(a,b)\in S$.

prove the third sylow theorem: suppose that $G$ is a group and $|G|=p^em$ which $p$ is a prime number and $(p,m)=1$. suppose that $a$ is the number of $p$-sylow subgroups of $G$ ($H<G$ that $|H|=p^e$). prove that $a|m$ and $p|a-1$.(Hint: you can use this: every two $p$-sylow subgroups are conjugate.)(20 points)

For each positive integer $ n$, let $ f(n)$ denote the number of ways of representing $ n$ as a sum of powers of 2 with nonnegative integer exponents. Representations which differ only in the ordering of their summands are considered to be the same. For instance, $ f(4) \equal{} 4$, because the number 4 can be represented in the following four ways: 4; 2+2; 2+1+1; 1+1+1+1.
Prove that, for any integer $ n \geq 3$ we have $ 2^{\frac {n^2}{4}} < f(2^n) < 2^{\frac {n^2}2}$.

Determine all non empty sets $C_1, C_2, C_3, \cdots $ such that each one of them has a finite number of elements, all their elements are positive integers, and they satisfy the following property: For any positive integers $n$ and $m$, the number of elements in the set $C_n$ plus the number of elements in the set $C_m$ equals the sum of the elements in the set $C_{m + n}$.
[i]Note:[/i] We denote $\lvert C_n \lvert$ the number of elements in the set $C_n$, and $S_k$ as the sum of the elements in the set $C_n$ so the problem's condition is that for every $n$ and $m$:
\[\lvert C_n \lvert + \lvert C_m \lvert = S_{n + m}\]
is satisfied.

A number is written in each corner of the cube. On each step, each number is replaced with the average of three numbers in the three adjacent corners (all the numbers are replaced simultaneously). After ten such steps, every number returns to its initial value. Must all numbers have been originally equal?

Joaquim, José and João participate of the worship of triangle $ABC$. It is well known that $ABC$ is a random triangle, nothing special. According to the dogmas of the worship, when they form a triangle which is similar to $ABC$, they will get immortal. Nevertheless, there is a condition: each person must represent a vertice of the triangle. In this case, Joaquim will represent vertice $A$, José vertice $B$ and João will represent vertice $C$. Thus, they must form a triangle which is similar to $ABC$, in this order.
Suppose all three points are in the Euclidean Plane. Once they are very excited to become immortal, they act in the following way: in each instant $t$, Joaquim, for example, will move with constant velocity $v$ to the point in the same semi-plan determined by the line which connects the other two points, and which would create a triangle similar to $ABC$ in the desired order. The other participants act in the same way.
If the velocity of all of them is same, and if they initially have a finite, but sufficiently large life, determine if they can get immortal.

A number of signal lights are equally spaced along a one-way railroad track, labeled in oder $ 1,2, \ldots, N, N \geq 2.$ As a safety rule, a train is not allowed to pass a signal if any other train is in motion on the length of track between it and the following signal. However, there is no limit to the number of trains that can be parked motionless at a signal, one behind the other. (Assume the trains have zero length.) A series of $ K$ freight trains must be driven from Signal 1 to Signal $ N.$ Each train travels at a distinct but constant spped at all times when it is not blocked by the safety rule. Show that, regardless of the order in which the trains are arranged, the same time will elapse between the first train's departure from Signal 1 and the last train's arrival at Signal $ N.$
