A polynomial is [i]good[/i] if it has integer coefficients, it is monic, all its roots are distinct, and there exists a disk with radius $0.99$ on the complex plane that contains all the roots. Prove that there is no [i]good[/i] polynomial for a sufficient large degree. [i]Proposed by Rodrigo Sanches Angelo (rsa365), Brazil.[/i]

The bases of the trapezoid are equal to $a$ and $b$. It is known that through the midpoint of one of its sides it is possible to draw a straight line dividing the trapezoid into two quadrangles, into each of which a circle can be inscribed. Find the length of the other side of this trapezoid.

A company has $n$ employees. It is known that each of the employees works at least one of the $7$ days of the week, with the exception of an employee who does not work any of the $7$ days. Furthermore, for any two of these $n$ employees, there are at least $3$ days of the week in which one of the two works that day and the other does not (it is not necessarily the same employee who works those days). Determine the highest possible value of $n$.

Let \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\) be integers such that \(a_1 > a_2 > \cdots > a_n > 1\). Let \(M = \operatorname{lcm} \left( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \right)\). For any finite nonempty set $X$ of positive integers, define \[ f(X) = \min_{1 \leqslant i \leqslant n} \sum_{x \in X} \left\{ \frac{x}{a_i} \right\}. \] Such a set $X$ is called [i]minimal[/i] if for every proper subset $Y$ of it, $f(Y) < f(X)$ always holds. Suppose $X$ is minimal and $f(X) \geqslant \frac{2}{a_n}$. Prove that \[ |X| \leqslant f(X) \cdot M. \]

For all positive integers $m\geq 1$, denote by $\mathcal{G}_m$ the set of simple graphs with exactly $m$ edges. Find the number of pairs of integers $(m,n)$ with $1<2n\leq m\leq 100$ such that there exists a simple graph $G\in\mathcal{G}_m$ satisfying the following property: it is possible to label the edges of $G$ with labels $E_1$, $E_2$, $\ldots$, $E_m$ such that for all $i\neq j$, edges $E_i$ and $E_j$ are incident if and only if either $|i-j|\leq n$ or $|i-j|\geq m-n$. $\textit{Note: }$ A graph is said to be $\textit{simple}$ if it has no self-loops or multiple edges. In other words, no edge connects a vertex to itself, and the number of edges connecting two distinct vertices is either $0$ or $1$.

Let $n\ge 4$ be an even integer. A regular $n$-gon and a regular $(n-1)$-gon are inscribed into the unit circle. For each vertex of the $n$-gon consider the distance from this vertex to the nearest vertex of the $(n-1)$-gon, measured along the circumference. Let $S$ be the sum of these $n$ distances. Prove that $S$ depends only on $n$, and not on the relative position of the two polygons.

Suppose that $f$ is a function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that \[f(x)+f\left(1-\frac1x\right)=\arctan x\] for all real $x\ne 0.$ (As usual, $y=\arctan x$ means $-\pi/2<y<\pi/2$ and $\tan y=x.$) Find \[\int_0^1f(x)\,dx.\]
