Let $n > 6$ be a perfect number. Let $p_1^{a_1} \cdot p_2^{a_2} \cdot ... \cdot p_k^{a_k}$ be the prime factorisation of $n$, where we assume that $p_1 < p_2 <...< p_k$ and $a_i > 0$ for all $ i = 1,...,k$. Prove that $a_1$ is even. Remark: An integer $n \ge 2$ is called a perfect number if the sum of its positive divisors, excluding $ n$ itself, is equal to $n$. For example, $6$ is perfect, as its positive divisors are $\{1, 2, 3, 6\}$ and $1+2+3=6$.

In a triangle ABC we have $\angle C = \angle A + 90^o$. The point $D$ on the continuation of $BC$ is given such that $AC = AD$. A point $E$ in the side of $BC$ in which $A$ doesn’t lie is chosen such that $\angle EBC = \angle A, \angle EDC = \frac{1}{2} \angle A$ . Prove that $\angle CED = \angle ABC$. by Morteza Saghafian

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Initially, a bishop is placed in each square of the top row of a $2^n \times 2^n$ chessboard; those bishops are numbered from $1$ to $2^n$ from left to right. A [i]jump[/i] is a simultaneous move made by all bishops such that each bishop moves diagonally, in a straight line, some number of squares, and at the end of the jump, the bishops all stand in different squares of the same row. Find the total number of permutations $\sigma$ of the numbers $1, 2, \ldots, 2^n$ with the following property: There exists a sequence of jumps such that all bishops end up on the bottom row arranged in the order $\sigma(1), \sigma(2), \ldots, \sigma(2^n)$, from left to right.

In a competition, there were $2n+1$ teams. Every team plays exatly once against every other team. Every match finishes with the victory of one of the teams. We call cyclical a 3-subset of team ${ A,B,C }$ if $A$ won against $B$, $B$ won against $C$ , $C$ won against $A$. (a) Find the minimum of cyclical 3-subset (depending on $n$); (b) Find the maximum of cyclical 3-subset (depending on $n$).

An antelope is a chess piece which moves similarly to the knight: two cells $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are joined by an antelope move if and only if \[ \{|x_1-x_2|,|y_1-y_2|\}=\{3,4\}.\] The numbers from $1$ to $10^{12}$ are placed in the cells of a $10^6\times 10^6$ grid. Let $D$ be the set of all absolute differences of the form $|a-b|$, where $a$ and $b$ are joined by an antelope move in the arrangement. How many arrangements are there such that $D$ contains exactly four elements? Proposed by [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i], Bulgaria
