Let $f(x)$ be a continuous function defined on the closed interval $0 \leq x \leq 1$. Let $G(f)$ denote the graph of $f(x): G(f) = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb R^2 | 0 \leq$$ x \leq 1, y = f(x) \}$. Let $G_a(f)$ denote the graph of the translated function $f(x - a)$ (translated over a distance $a$), defined by $G_a(f) = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb R^2 | a \leq x \leq a + 1, y = f(x - a) \}$. Is it possible to find for every $a, \ 0 < a < 1$, a continuous function $f(x)$, defined on $0 \leq x \leq 1$, such that $f(0) = f(1) = 0$ and $G(f)$ and $G_a(f)$ are disjoint point sets ?

Let $A$ be an abelian additive group such that all nonzero elements have infinite order and for each prime number $p$ we have the inequality $|A/pA|\leq p$, where $pA = \{pa |a \in A\}$, $pa = a+a+\cdots+a$ (where the sum has $p$ summands) and $|A/pA|$ is the order of the quotient group $A/pA$ (the index of the subgroup $pA$).
Prove that each subgroup of $A$ of finite index is isomorphic to $A$.

A circle is divided into arcs of equal size by $n$ points ($n \ge 1$). For any positive integer $x$, let $P_n(x)$ denote the number of possibilities for colouring all those points, using colours from $x$ given colours, so that any rotation of the colouring by $ i \cdot \frac{360^o}{n}$ , where i is a positive integer less than $n$, gives a colouring that differs from the original in at least one point. Prove that the function $P_n(x)$ is a polynomial with respect to $x$.

Jamie, Linda, and Don bought bundles of roses at a flower shop, each paying the same price for each
bundle. Then Jamie, Linda, and Don took their bundles of roses to a fair where they tried selling their
bundles for a fixed price which was higher than the price that the flower shop charged. At the end of the
fair, Jamie, Linda, and Don donated their unsold bundles of roses to the fair organizers. Jamie had bought
20 bundles of roses, sold 15 bundles of roses, and made $60$ profit. Linda had bought 34 bundles of roses,
sold 24 bundles of roses, and made $69 profit. Don had bought 40 bundles of roses and sold 36 bundles of
roses. How many dollars profit did Don make?

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with center $O$.
Suppose the circumcircles of triangles $AOB$ and $COD$ meet again at $G$, while the circumcircles of triangles $AOD$ and $BOC$ meet again at $H$.
Let $\omega_1$ denote the circle passing through $G$ as well as the feet of the perpendiculars from $G$ to $AB$ and $CD$.
Define $\omega_2$ analogously as the circle passing through $H$ and the feet of the perpendiculars from $H$ to $BC$ and $DA$.
Show that the midpoint of $GH$ lies on the radical axis of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$.

Shakur and Tiham are playing a game. Initially, Shakur picks a positive integer not greater than $1000$. Then Tiham picks a positive integer strictly smaller than that.Then they keep on doing this taking turns to pick progressively smaller and smaller positive integers until some one picks $1$. After that, all the numbers that have been picked so far are added up. The person picking the number $1$ wins if and only if this sum is a perfect square. Otherwise, the other player wins. What is the sum of all possible values of $n$ such that if Shakur starts with the number $n$, he has a winning strategy?

We are given $n$ reals $a_1,a_2,\cdots , a_n$ such that the sum of any two of them is non-negative. Prove that the following statement and its converse are both true: if $n$ non-negative reals $x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_n$ satisfy $x_1+x_2+\cdots +x_n=1$, then the inequality $a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\cdots +a_nx_n\ge a_1x^2_1+ a_2x^2_2+\cdots + a_nx^2_n$ holds.

A boy goes $n$ times at a merry-go-round with $n$ seats. After every time he moves in the clockwise direction and takes another seat, not making a full circle. The number of seats he passes by at each move is called the length of the move. For which $n$ can he sit at every seat, if the lengths of all the $n-1$ moves he makes have different lengths?
