[b]p1.[/b] Suppose $a$, $b$ and $c$ are integers such that $c$ divides $a^n + b^n$ for all integers, $n \ge 1$. If the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$ is $7$, what is the largest possible value of $c$? [b]p2.[/b] Consider a sequence of points $\{P_1, P_2,...\}$ on a circle w with the property that $\overline{P_{i+1}P_{i+2}}$ is parallel to the tangent line through $P_i$ for each $i \ge 1$. If $P_5 = P_1$, what is the largest possible angle formed by $P_1P_3P_2$? PS. You should use hide for answers.

2024 Alborz Mathematical Olympiad, P3

A person is locked in a room with a password-protected computer. If they enter the correct password, the door opens and they are freed. However, the password changes every time it is entered incorrectly. The person knows that the password is always a 10-digit number, and they also know that the password change follows a fixed pattern. This means that if the current password is \( b \) and \( a \) is entered, the new password is \( c \), which is determined by \( b \) and \( a \) (naturally, the person does not know \( c \) or \( b \)). Prove that regardless of the characteristics of this computer, the prisoner can free themselves. Proposed by Reza Tahernejad Karizi

An equilateral triangle with side length $3$ is divided into $9$ congruent triangular cells as shown in the figure below. Initially all the cells contain $0$. A [i]move[/i] consists of selecting two adjacent cells (i.e., cells sharing a common boundary) and either increasing or decreasing the numbers in both the cells by $1$ simultaneously. Determine all positive integers $n$ such that after performing several such moves one can obtain $9$ consecutive numbers $n,(n+1),\cdots ,(n+8)$ in some order.
