Denote by $l(n)$ the largest prime divisor of $n$. Let $a_{n+1} = a_n + l(a_n)$ be a recursively
defined sequence of integers with $a_1 = 2$. Determine all natural numbers $m$ such that there
exists some $i \in \mathbb{N}$ with $a_i = m^2$.

Show that there exists no function $f:\mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$ that satisfies $f(f(x))-x^2+x+3=0$ for arbitrary real variable $x$.
(Same as KMO 2004 P1)
$T$ is a set of all the positive integers of the form $2^k 3^l$, where $k, l$ are some non-negetive integers. Show that there exists $1998$ different elements of $T$ that satisfy the following condition.
[b]Condition[/b]
The sum of the $1998$ elements is again an element of $T$.
Let $P(x)=x^{2000}-x^{1000}+1$. Prove that there don't exist 8002 distinct positive integers $a_1,\dots,a_{8002}$ such that $a_ia_ja_k|P(a_i)P(a_j)P(a_k)$ for all $i\neq j\neq k$.

For $n\geq3$ define $S_n=\{1, 2, ..., n\}$. $A_1, A_{2}, ..., A_{n}$ are given subsets of $S_n$, each having an even number of elements. Prove that there exists a set $\{i_1, i_2, ..., i_t\}$, a nonempty subset of $S_n$ such that
$$A_{i_1} \Delta A_{i_2} \Delta \ldots \Delta A_{i_t}=\emptyset$$
(For two sets $A, B$, we define $\Delta$ as $A \Delta B=(A\cup B)-(A\cap B)$)
All points in the plane that have both integer coordinates are painted, using the colors red, green, and yellow. If the points are painted so that there is at least one point of each color.
Prove that there are always three points $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ of different colors, such that $\angle XYZ = 45^{\circ} $
Denote by $l(n)$ the largest prime divisor of $n$. Let $a_{n+1} = a_n + l(a_n)$ be a recursively

Let $P(x)=x^{2000}-x^{1000}+1$. Do there exist distinct positive integers $a_1,\dots,a_{2001}$ such that $a_ia_j|P(a_i)P(a_j)$ for all $i\neq j$?

Are there infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $19|1+2^n+3^n+4^n$? Justify your claim.
The number $N$ is the product of $200$ distinct positive integers. Prove that it has at least 19901 distinct divisors (including 0 and itself).
