2002 Cono Sur Olympiad, 1

Students in the class of Peter practice the addition and multiplication of integer numbers.The teacher writes the numbers from $1$ to $9$ on nine cards, one for each number, and places them in an ballot box. Pedro draws three cards, and must calculate the sum and the product of the three corresponding numbers. Ana and Julián do the same, emptying the ballot box. Pedro informs the teacher that he has picked three consecutive numbers whose product is $5$ times the sum. Ana informs that she has no prime number, but two consecutive and that the product of these three numbers is $4$ times the sum of them. What numbers did Julian remove?

2017 Ecuador Juniors, 5

Two positive integers are coprime if their greatest common divisor is $1$. Let $C$ be the set of all divisors of the number $8775$ that are greater than $ 1$. A set of $k$ consecutive positive integers satisfies that each of them is coprime with some element of $C$. Determine the largest possible value of $K$.

The lengths of the sides of an acute angled triangle are successive integers. Prove that the altitude to the second longest side divides this side into two segments whose difference in length equals $4$.

1998 Mexico National Olympiad, 1

A number is called lucky if computing the sum of the squares of its digits and repeating this operation sufficiently many times leads to number $1$. For example, $1900$ is lucky, as $1900 \to 82 \to 68 \to 100 \to 1$. Find infinitely many pairs of consecutive numbers each of which is lucky.

2014 JBMO Shortlist, 6

Vukasin, Dimitrije, Dusan, Stefan and Filip asked their teacher to guess three consecutive positive integers, after these true statements: Vukasin: " The sum of the digits of one number is prime number. The sum of the digits of another of the other two is, an even perfect number.($n$ is perfect if $\sigma\left(n\right)=2n$). The sum of the digits of the third number equals to the number of it's positive divisors". Dimitrije:"Everyone of those three numbers has at most two digits equal to $1$ in their decimal representation". Dusan:"If we add $11$ to exactly one of them, then we have a perfect square of an integer" Stefan:"Everyone of them has exactly one prime divisor less than $10$". Filip:"The three numbers are square free". Professor found the right answer. Which numbers did he mention?
