We define a sequence $ \left(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},\ldots \right)$ by \[ a_{n} \equal{} \frac {1}{n}\left(\left\lfloor\frac {n}{1}\right\rfloor \plus{} \left\lfloor\frac {n}{2}\right\rfloor \plus{} \cdots \plus{} \left\lfloor\frac {n}{n}\right\rfloor\right), \] where $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $x$.

Determine all polynomials with integral coefficients $P(x)$ such that if $a,b,c$ are the sides of a right-angled triangle, then $P(a), P(b), P(c)$ are also the sides of a right-angled triangle. (Sides of a triangle are necessarily positive. Note that it's not necessary for the order of sides to be preserved; if $c$ is the hypotenuse of the first triangle, it's not necessary that $P(c)$ is the hypotenuse of the second triangle, and similar with the others.)

For every natural number $n\geq{2}$ consider the following affirmation $P_n$: "Consider a polynomial $P(X)$ (of degree $n$) with real coefficients. If its derivative $P'(X)$ has $n-1$ distinct real roots, then there is a real number $C$ such that the equation $P(x)=C$ has $n$ real,distinct roots." Are $P_4$ and $P_5$ both true? Justify your answer.

Let $ f$ be a finite real function of one variable. Let $ \overline{D}f$ and $ \underline{D}f$ be its upper and lower derivatives, respectively, that is, \[ \overline{D}f\equal{}\limsup_{{h,k\rightarrow 0}_{{h,k \geq 0}_{h\plus{}k>0}}} \frac{f(x\plus{}h)\minus{}f(x\minus{}k)}{h\plus{}k}\] , \[ \underline{D}f\equal{}\liminf_{{h,k\rightarrow 0}_{{h,k \geq 0}_{h\plus{}k>0}}} \frac{f(x\plus{}h)\minus{}f(x\minus{}k)}{h\plus{}k}.\] Show that $ \overline{D}f$ and $ \underline{D}f$ are Borel-measurable functions.

Poldavia is a strange kingdom. Its currency unit is the bourbaki and there exist only two types of coins: gold ones and silver ones. Each gold coin is worth $ n$ bourbakis and each silver coin is worth $ m$ bourbakis ($ n$ and $ m$ are positive integers). Using gold and silver coins, it is possible to obtain sums such as 10000 bourbakis, 1875 bourbakis, 3072 bourbakis, and so on. But Poldavia’s monetary system is not as strange as it seems: [b](a)[/b] Prove that it is possible to buy anything that costs an integral number of bourbakis, as long as one can receive change. [b](b)[/b] Prove that any payment above $ mn\minus{}2$ bourbakis can be made without the need to receive change.

If for any point $P \in S$, there is always another point $Q \in T$, $P \neq Q$, such that there is no other integeral points on segment $PQ$. Find the least value of the number of elements of $T$.

A majority of the $30$ students in Ms. Demeanor's class bought pencils at the school bookstore. Each of these students bought the same number of pencils, and this number was greater than $1$. The cost of a pencil in cents was greater than the number of pencils each student bought, and the total cost of all the pencils was $\$17.71$. What was the cost of a pencil in cents? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 7 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 11 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 17 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 23 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 77 $
