Let $S$ be a finite set. For a positive integer $n$, we say that a function $f\colon S\to S$ is an [i]$n$-th power[/i] if there exists some function $g\colon S\to S$ such that
\[
f(x) = \underbrace{g(g(\ldots g(x)\ldots))}_{\mbox{\scriptsize $g$ applied $n$ times}}
\]
for each $x\in S$.
Suppose that a function $f\colon S\to S$ is an $n$-th power for each positive integer $n$. Is it necessarily true that $f(f(x)) = f(x)$ for each $x\in S$?

Given two positive integers $m,n$, we say that a function $f : [0,m] \to \mathbb{R}$ is $(m,n)$-[i]slippery[/i] if it has the following properties:
i) $f$ is continuous;
ii) $f(0) = 0$, $f(m) = n$;
iii) If $t_1, t_2\in [0,m]$ with $t_1 < t_2$ are such that $t_2-t_1\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $f(t_2)-f(t_1)\in\mathbb{Z}$, then $t_2-t_1 \in \{0,m\}$.
Find all the possible values for $m, n$ such that there is a function $f$ that is $(m,n)$-slippery.

Triangles $ABC$ and $DEF$, having a common incircle of radius $R$, intersect at points
$X_1, X_2, \ldots , X_6$ and form six triangles (see the figure below). Let $r_1, r_2,\ldots, r_6$ be the radii of the
inscribed circles of these triangles, and let $R_1, R_2, \ldots , R_6$ be the radii of the inscribed circles of the
triangles $AX_1F, FX_2B, BX_3D, DX_4C, CX_5E$ and $EX_6A$ respectively.

A sequence of functions $\, \{f_n(x) \} \,$ is defined recursively as follows: \begin{align*}f_1(x) &= \sqrt{x^2 + 48}, \quad \mbox{and} \\ f_{n+1}(x) &= \sqrt{x^2 + 6f_n(x)} \quad \mbox{for } n \geq 1.\end{align*}
(Recall that $\sqrt{\makebox[5mm]{}}$ is understood to represent the positive square root.) For each positive integer $n$, find all real solutions of the equation $\, f_n(x) = 2x \,$.
