2015 Saint Petersburg Mathematical Olympiad, 7

There is convex $n-$gon. We color all its sides and also diagonals, that goes out from one vertex. So we have $2n-3$ colored segments. We write positive numbers on colored segments. In one move we can take quadrilateral $ABCD$ such, that $AC$ and all sides are colored, then remove $AC$ and color $BD$ with number $\frac{xz+yt}{w}$, where $x,y,z,t,w$ - numbers on $AB,BC,CD,DA,AC$. After some moves we found that all colored segments are same that was at beginning. Prove, that they have same number that was at beginning.

Given $2012$ distinct points $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ on the Cartesian plane. For any permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$ of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ define the [i]shadow[/i] of a point $P$ as follows: [i]Point $P$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_1$ resulting $P_1$, point $P_1$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_2$ resulting $P_2$, ..., point $P_{2011}$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_{2012}$ resulting $P_{2012}$. Then, $P_{2012}$ is called the shadow of $P$ with respect to the permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$.[/i] Let $N$ be the number of different shadows of $P$ up to all permutations of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$. Determine the maximum value of $N$. [i]Proposer: Hendrata Dharmawan[/i]

Each integer is colored with exactly one of $3$ possible colors -- black, red or white -- satisfying the following two rules : the negative of a black number must be colored white, and the sum of two white numbers (not necessarily distinct) must be colored black. [b](a)[/b] Show that, the negative of a white number must be colored black and the sum of two black numbers must be colored white. [b](b)[/b] Determine all possible colorings of the integers that satisfy these rules.

A number is called [i]good[/i] if it can be written as the sum of the squares of three consecutive positive integers. A number is called excellent if it can be written as the sum of the squares of four consecutive positive integers. (For instance, $14 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2$ is good and $30 =1^2 +2^2 +3^2+4^2$ is excellent.) A good number $G$ is called [i]splendid[/i] if there exists an excellent number $E$ such that $3G-E = 2025.$ If the sum of all splendid numbers is $S,$ find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000.$
