Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer. Elwyn is given an $n\times n$ table filled with real numbers (each cell of the table contains exactly one number). We define a [i]rook set[/i] as a set of $n$ cells of the table situated in $n$ distinct rows as well as in n distinct columns. Assume that, for every rook set, the sum of $n$ numbers in the cells forming the set is nonnegative.\\ \\ By a move, Elwyn chooses a row, a column, and a real number $a,$ and then he adds $a$ to each number in the chosen row, and subtracts $a$ from each number in the chosen column (thus, the number at the intersection of the chosen row and column does not change). Prove that Elwyn can perform a sequence of moves so that all numbers in the table become nonnegative.

Let $f(n)$ be the number of ordered pairs $(k, \ell)$ of positive integers such that $n = (2\ell-1)\cdot 2^k - k$, and let $g(n)$ be the number of ordered pairs $(k, \ell)$ of positive integers such that $n = \ell \cdot 2^{k+1}-k$. Compute $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{f(i) - g(i)}{2^i}$. .

Pete has some trouble slicing a 20-inch (diameter) pizza. His first two cuts (from center to circumference of the pizza) make a 30º slice. He continues making cuts until he has gone around the whole pizza, each time trying to copy the angle of the previous slice but in fact adding 2º each time. That is, he makes adjacent slices of 30º, 32º, 34º, and so on. What is the area of the smallest slice?

Consider a binary matrix $M$(all entries are $0$ or $1$) on $r$ rows and $c$ columns, where every row and every column contain at least one entry equal to $1$. Prove that there exists an entry $M(i,j) = 1$, such that the corresponding row-sum $R(i)$ and column-sum $C(j)$ satisfy $r R(i)\ge c C(j)$. (Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria)

Determine the smallest positive real number $ k$ with the following property. Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral, and let points $ A_1$, $ B_1$, $ C_1$, and $ D_1$ lie on sides $ AB$, $ BC$, $ CD$, and $ DA$, respectively. Consider the areas of triangles $ AA_1D_1$, $ BB_1A_1$, $ CC_1B_1$ and $ DD_1C_1$; let $ S$ be the sum of the two smallest ones, and let $ S_1$ be the area of quadrilateral $ A_1B_1C_1D_1$. Then we always have $ kS_1\ge S$. [i]Author: Zuming Feng and Oleg Golberg, USA[/i]

A function $f : \Bbb{N}_0 \to \Bbb{R}$ satisfies $f(1) = 3$ and \[f(m + n) + f(m - n) - m + n - 1 =\frac{f(2m) + f(2n)}{2},\] for any non-negative integers $m$ and $n$ with $m \geq n.$ Find all such functions $f$.

In a triangle $ABC, O$ is the center of the circumscribed circle. Line $a$ passes through the midpoint of the altitude of the triangle from the vertex $A$ and is parallel to $OA$. Similarly, the straight lines $b$ and $c$ are defined. Prove that these three lines intersect at one point.

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $S$ be the sum of all primitive roots modulo $p$. Show that if $p-1$ isn't squarefree (i. e., if there exist integers $k$ and $m$ with $k>1$ and $p-1=k^2m$), then $S \equiv 0 \mod p$. If not, then what is $S$ congruent to $\mod p$ ?

Tsrutsuna starts in the bottom left cell of a 7 × 7 square table, while Tsuna is in the upper right cell. The center cell of the table contains cheese. Tsrutsuna wants to reach Tsuna and bring a piece of cheese with him. From a cell Tsrutsuna can only move to the right or the top neighboring cell. Determine the number of different paths Tsrutsuna can take from the lower left cell to the upper right cell, such that he passes through the center cell. [i]Proposed by Giorgi Arabidze, Georgia[/i]

Mr. Harman needs to know the combined weight in pounds of three boxes he wants to mail. However, the only available scale is not accurate for weights less than $100$ pounds or more than $150$ pounds. So the boxes are weighed in pairs in every possible way. The results are $122$, $125$ and $127$ pounds. What is the combined weight in pounds of the three boxes? $\textbf{(A)}\ 160\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 170\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 187\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 195\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 354$
