2001 Singapore MO Open, 4

A positive integer $n$ is said to possess Property ($A$) if there exists a positive integer $N$ such that $N^2$ can be written as the sum of the squares of $n$ consecutive positive integers. Is it true that there are infinitely many positive integers which possess Property ($A$)? Justify your answer. (As an example, the number $n = 2$ possesses Property ($A$) since $5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2$).

A sequence $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of positive integers satisfies the condition $a_{n+1} = a_n +\tau (n)$ for all positive integers $n$ where $\tau (n)$ is the number of positive integer divisors of $n$. Determine whether two consecutive terms of this sequence can be perfect squares.

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?

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?

2005 May Olympiad, 2

An integer is called [i]autodivi [/i] if it is divisible by the two-digit number formed by its last two digits (tens and units). For example, $78013$ is autodivi as it is divisible by $13$, $8517$ is autodivi since it is divisible by $17$. Find $6$ consecutive integers that are autodivi and that have the digits of the units, tens and hundreds other than $0$.
