Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be an irreducible polynomial over the ring of integer polynomials, such that $|f(0)|$ is not a perfect square. Prove that if the leading coefficient of $f$ is 1 (the coefficient of the term having the highest degree in $f$) then $f(X^2)$ is also irreducible in the ring of integer polynomials.

1993 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 9.8
Number $ 0$ is written on the board. Two players alternate writing signs and numbers to the right, where the first player always writes either $ \plus{}$ or $ \minus{}$ sign, while the second player writes one of the numbers $ 1, 2, ... , 1993$,writing each of these numbers exactly once. The game ends after $ 1993$ moves. Then the second player wins the score equal to the absolute value of the expression obtained thereby on the board. What largest score can he always win?

Prove that there exists a nonzero complex number $c$ and a real number $d$ such that \[\left|\left|\dfrac1{1+z+z^2}\right|-\left|\dfrac1{1+z+z^2}-c\right|\right|=d\] for all $z$ with $|z|=1$ and $1+z+z^2\neq 0$.

Given are $10$ distinct real numbers. Kyle wrote down the square of the difference for each pair of those numbers in his notebook, while Peter wrote in his notebook the absolute value of the differences of the squares of these numbers. Is it possible for the two boys to have the same set of $45$ numbers in their notebooks?

In a $ 19\times 19$ board, a piece called [i]dragon[/i] moves as follows: It travels by four squares (either horizontally or vertically) and then it moves one square more in a direction perpendicular to its previous direction. It is known that, moving so, a dragon can reach every square of the board.
The [i]draconian distance[/i] between two squares is defined as the least number of moves a dragon needs to move from one square to the other.
Let $ C$ be a corner square, and $ V$ the square neighbor of $ C$ that has only a point in common with $ C$. Show that there exists a square $ X$ of the board, such that the draconian distance between $ C$ and $ X$ is greater than the draconian distance between $ C$ and $ V$.
