At a circular track, $10$ cyclists started from some point at the same time in the same direction with different constant speeds. If any two cyclists are at some point at the same time again, we say that they meet. No three or more of them have met at the same time. Prove that by the time every two cyclists have met at least once, each cyclist has had at least $25$ meetings.

For a matrix $(p_{ij})$ of the format $m\times n$ with real entries, set \[a_i =\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^n p_{ij}\text{ for }i = 1,\cdots,m\text{ and }b_j =\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^m p_{ij}\text{ for }j = 1, . . . , n\longrightarrow(1)\] By integering a real number, we mean replacing the number with the integer closest to it. Prove that integering the numbers $a_i, b_j, p_{ij}$ can be done in such a way that $(1)$ still holds.

2011 Balkan MO, 3

Let $S$ be a finite set of positive integers which has the following property:if $x$ is a member of $S$,then so are all positive divisors of $x$. A non-empty subset $T$ of $S$ is [i]good[/i] if whenever $x,y\in T$ and $x<y$, the ratio $y/x$ is a power of a prime number. A non-empty subset $T$ of $S$ is [i]bad[/i] if whenever $x,y\in T$ and $x<y$, the ratio $y/x$ is not a power of a prime number. A set of an element is considered both [i]good[/i] and [i]bad[/i]. Let $k$ be the largest possible size of a [i]good[/i] subset of $S$. Prove that $k$ is also the smallest number of pairwise-disjoint [i]bad[/i] subsets whose union is $S$.

2014 Junior Balkan MO, 4

For a positive integer $n$, two payers $A$ and $B$ play the following game: Given a pile of $s$ stones, the players take turn alternatively with $A$ going first. On each turn the player is allowed to take either one stone, or a prime number of stones, or a positive multiple of $n$ stones. The winner is the one who takes the last stone. Assuming both $A$ and $B$ play perfectly, for how many values of $s$ the player $A$ cannot win?

Professor Piraldo takes part in soccer matches with a lot of goals and judges a match in his own peculiar way. A match with score of $m$ goals to $n$ goals, $m\geq n$, is [i]tough[/i] when $m\leq f(n)$, where $f(n)$ is defined by $f(0) = 0$ and, for $n \geq 1$, $f(n) = 2n-f(r)+r$, where $r$ is the largest integer such that $r < n$ and $f(r) \leq n$. Let $\phi ={1+\sqrt 5\over 2}$. Prove that a match with score of $m$ goals to $n$, $m\geq n$, is tough if $m\leq \phi n$ and is not tough if $m \geq \phi n+1$.
