1963 All Russian Mathematical Olympiad, 039

On the ends of the diameter two "$1$"s are written. Each of the semicircles is divided onto two parts and the sum of the numbers of its ends (i.e. "$2$") is written at the midpoint. Then every of the four arcs is halved and in its midpoint the sum of the numbers on its ends is written. Find the total sum of the numbers on the circumference after $n$ steps.

There are $n$ line segments on the plane, no three intersecting at a point, and each pair intersecting once in their respective interiors. Tony and his $2n - 1$ friends each stand at a distinct endpoint of a line segment. Tony wishes to send Christmas presents to each of his friends as follows: First, he chooses an endpoint of each segment as a “sink”. Then he places the present at the endpoint of the segment he is at. The present moves as follows : $\bullet$ If it is on a line segment, it moves towards the sink. $\bullet$ When it reaches an intersection of two segments, it changes the line segment it travels on and starts moving towards the new sink. If the present reaches an endpoint, the friend on that endpoint can receive their present. Prove that Tony can send presents to exactly $n$ of his $2n - 1$ friends.

In a particular game, each of $4$ players rolls a standard $6{ }$-sided die. The winner is the player who rolls the highest number. If there is a tie for the highest roll, those involved in the tie will roll again and this process will continue until one player wins. Hugo is one of the players in this game. What is the probability that Hugo's first roll was a $5,$ given that he won the game? $(\textbf{A})\: \frac{61}{216}\qquad(\textbf{B}) \: \frac{367}{1296}\qquad(\textbf{C}) \: \frac{41}{144}\qquad(\textbf{D}) \: \frac{185}{648}\qquad(\textbf{E}) \: \frac{11}{36}$

Call two circles in three-dimensional space pairwise tangent at a point $ P$ if they both pass through $ P$ and lines tangent to each circle at $ P$ coincide. Three circles not all lying in a plane are pairwise tangent at three distinct points. Prove that there exists a sphere which passes through the three circles.

Let $ABCD$ be a square. For a point $P$ inside $ABCD$, a $\emph{windmill}$ centred at $P$ consists of two perpendicular lines $l_1$ and $l_2$ passing through $P$, such that $\quad\bullet$ $l_1$ intersects the sides $AB$ and $CD$ at $W$ and $Y$, respectively, and $\quad\bullet$ $l_2$ intersects the sides $BC$ and $DA$ at $X$ and $Z$, respectively. A windmill is called $\emph{round}$ if the quadrilateral $WXYZ$ is cyclic. Determine all points $P$ inside $ABCD$ such that every windmill centred at $P$ is round.

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $P(x)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$ with real coefficients. Also let $Q(x)=(x+1)^2(x+2)^2\dots (x+n+1)^2$. Consider the minimum possible value $m_n$ of $\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{n+1} \dfrac{i^2P(i^2)^2}{Q(i)}$. Then there exist positive constants $a,b,c$ such that, as $n$ approaches infinity, the ratio between $m_n$ and $a^{2n} n^{2n+b} c$ approaches $1$. Compute $\lfloor 2019 abc^2\rfloor$.

How many five-digit multiples of 3 end with the digit 6 ?

2024 ELMO Problems, 3

For some positive integer $n,$ Elmo writes down the equation \[x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n=x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n.\] Elmo inserts at least one $f$ to the left side of the equation and adds parentheses to create a valid functional equation. For example, if $n=3,$ Elmo could have created the equation \[f(x_1+f(f(x_2)+x_3))=x_1+x_2+x_3.\] Cookie Monster comes up with a function $f: \mathbb{Q}\to\mathbb{Q}$ which is a solution to Elmo's functional equation. (In other words, Elmo's equation is satisfied for all choices of $x_1,\dots,x_n\in\mathbb{Q})$. Is it possible that there is no integer $k$ (possibly depending on $f$) such that $f^k(x)=x$ for all $x$? [i]Srinivas Arun[/i]

Prove that if the pirates were called in whatever other order , at least $10$ pirates would have been killed anyway.

For any natural number $n$, consider a $1\times n$ rectangular board made up of $n$ unit squares. This is covered by $3$ types of tiles : $1\times 1$ red tile, $1\times 1$ green tile and $1\times 2$ domino.
