1986 All Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, 430

The decimal notation of three natural numbers consists of equal digits: $n$ digits $x$ for $a$, $n$ digits $y$ for $b$ and $2n$ digits $z$ for $c$. For every $n > 1$ find all the possible triples of digits $x,y,z$ such, that $a^2 + b = c$

Anna and Ben decided to visit Archipelago with $2009$ islands. Some pairs of islands are connected by boats which run both ways. Anna and Ben are playing during the trip: Anna chooses the first island on which they arrive by plane. Then Ben chooses the next island which they could visit. Thereafter, the two take turns choosing an island which they have not yet visited. When they arrive at an island which is connected only to islands they had already visited, whoever's turn to choose next would be the loser. Prove that Anna could always win, regardless of the way Ben played and regardless of the way the islands were connected. [i](12 points for Juniors and 10 points for Seniors)[/i]

Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer. An [i]inner diagonal[/i] of a [i]simple $n$-gon[/i] is a diagonal that is contained in the $n$-gon. Denote by $D(P)$ the number of all inner diagonals of a simple $n$-gon $P$ and by $D(n)$ the least possible value of $D(Q)$, where $Q$ is a simple $n$-gon. Prove that no two inner diagonals of $P$ intersect (except possibly at a common endpoint) if and only if $D(P)=D(n)$. [i]Remark:[/i] A simple $n$-gon is a non-self-intersecting polygon with $n$ vertices. A polygon is not necessarily convex.
