Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of positive integers. Fix a function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ and for any $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ define $$\Delta(m,n)=\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(n)\text{ times}}(m)\ldots))-\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(m)\text{ times}}(n)\ldots)).$$ Suppose $\Delta(m,n) \neq 0$ for any distinct $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$. Show that $\Delta$ is unbounded, meaning that for any constant $C$ there exists $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ with $\left|\Delta(m,n)\right| > C$.

Starting from a given cyclic quadrilateral $\mathcal{Q}_0$, a sequence of quadrilaterals is constructed so that $\mathcal{Q}_{k + 1}$ is the circumscribed quadrilateral of $\mathcal{Q}_k$ for $k = 0,1,\dots$. The sequence terminates when a quadrilateral is reached that is not cyclic. (The circumscribed quadrilateral of a cylic quadrilateral $ABCD$ has sides that are tangent to the circumcircle of $ABCD$ at $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$.) Prove that the sequence always terminates, except when $\mathcal{Q}_0$ is a square.

A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled $0$ through $10$. A frog is sitting on pad $1$. When the frog is on pad $N$, $0<N<10$, it will jump to pad $N-1$ with probability $\frac{N}{10}$ and to pad $N+1$ with probability $1-\frac{N}{10}$. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad $0$ it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad $10$ it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape being eaten by the snake? $ \textbf {(A) } \frac{32}{79} \qquad \textbf {(B) } \frac{161}{384} \qquad \textbf {(C) } \frac{63}{146} \qquad \textbf {(D) } \frac{7}{16} \qquad \textbf {(E) } \frac{1}{2} $

Is there any sequence $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of non-negative numbers, for which $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n^2<\infty$ , but $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{a_{kn}}{k} \right)^2=\infty$ ? [hide=Remark]That contest - Miklos Schweitzer 2010- is missing on the contest page here for now being. The statements of all problems that year can be found [url=http://www.math.u-szeged.hu/~mmaroti/schweitzer/]here[/url], but unfortunately only in Hungarian. I tried google translate but it was a mess. So, it would be wonderful if someone knows Hungarian and wish to translate it. [/hide]
