For any real number $x$, let $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denote the integer part of $x$; $\{ x \}$ be the fractional part of $x$ ($\{x\}$ $=$ $x-$ $\lfloor x \rfloor$). Let $A$ denote the set of all real numbers $x$ satisfying $$\{x\} =\frac{x+\lfloor x \rfloor +\lfloor x + (1/2) \rfloor }{20}$$ If $S$ is the sume of all numbers in $A$, find $\lfloor S \rfloor$
Let $p, q$ be integers and $p, q > 1$ , $gcd(p, \,6q)=1$. Prove that:$$\sum_{k=1}^{q-1}\left \lfloor \frac{pk}{q}\right\rfloor^2 \equiv 2p \sum_{k=1}^{q-1}k\left\lfloor \frac{pk}{q} \right\rfloor (mod \, q-1)$$
Let $ n \ge 2009$ be an integer and define the set: \[ S \equal{} \{2^x|7 \le x \le n, x \in \mathbb{N}\}. \] Let $ A$ be a subset of $ S$ and the sum of last three digits of each element of $ A$ is $ 8$. Let $ n(X)$ be the number of elements of $ X$. Prove that \[ \frac {28}{2009} < \frac {n(A)}{n(S)} < \frac {82}{2009}. \]
Let $ N$ be a positive integer. How many non-negative integers $ n \le N$ are there that have an integer multiple, that only uses the digits $ 2$ and $ 6$ in decimal representation?
A sequence $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots $ is defined as follows: $a_1$ is a positive integer and $$a_{n+1} = \left\lfloor \frac{3}{2} a_n \right\rfloor +1$$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Can $a_1$ be chosen in such a way that the first $100000$ terms of the sequence are even, but the $100001$-th term is odd?
Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer. A frog is to jump along the real axis, starting at the point $0$ and making $n$ jumps: one of length $1$, one of length $2$, $\dots$ , one of length $n$. It may perform these $n$ jumps in any order. If at some point the frog is sitting on a number $a \le 0$, its next jump must be to the right (towards the positive numbers). If at some point the frog is sitting on a number $a > 0$, its next jump must be to the left (towards the negative numbers). Find the largest positive integer $k$ for which the frog can perform its jumps in such an order that it never lands on any of the numbers $1, 2, \dots , k$.
For each real number $ x$< let $ \lfloor x \rfloor$ be the integer satisfying $ \lfloor x \rfloor \le x < \lfloor x \rfloor \plus{}1$ and let $ \{x\}\equal{}x\minus{}\lfloor x \rfloor$. Let $ c$ be a real number such that \[ \{n\sqrt{3}\}>\dfrac{c}{n\sqrt{3}}\] for all positive integers $ n$. Prove that $ c \le 1$.
For any number $x$, let $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. A sequence $a_1,a_2,\cdots$ is given, where \[a_n=\left\lfloor{\sqrt{2n}+\dfrac{1}{2}}\right\rfloor.\] How many values of $k$ are there such that $a_k=2010$?
For the real numbers $x$ and $y$, $[\sqrt{x}] = 10$ and $[\sqrt{y}] =14$. How large is $\left[\sqrt{[ \sqrt{x+y} ]}\right]$ ? (Note: the square roots are the positive values ​​and $[x]$ is the largest integer less than or equal to x.)
Let $p$ be an odd prime. Prove that \[1^{p-2}+2^{p-2}+\cdots+\left(\frac{p-1}{2}\right)^{p-2}\equiv\frac{2-2^p}{p}\pmod p.\]
Show that, for every positive integer $n$, there exist $n$ consecutive positive integers such that none is divisible by the sum of its digits. (Alternative Formulation: Call a number good if it's not divisible by the sum of its digits. Show that for every positive integer $n$ there are $n$ consecutive good numbers.)
An integer is square-free if it is not divisible by $a^2$ for any integer $a>1$. Let $S$ be the set of positive square-free integers. Determine, with justification, the value of\[\sum_{k\epsilon S}\left[\sqrt{\frac{10^{10}}{k}}\right]\]where $[x]$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$

Let $S$ be the set of all rational numbers $r$, $0<r<1$, that have a repeating decimal expansion in the form \[0.abcabcabc\ldots=0.\overline{abc},\] where the digits $a$, $b$, and $c$ are not necessarily distinct. To write the elements of $S$ as fractions in lowest terms, how many different numerators are required?
What is the sum of the positive solutions to $2x^2 -\lfloor x \rfloor = 5$, where $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the largest integer less than or equal to $x$?

In a village with at least one inhabitant, there are several associations. Each inhabitant is a member of at least $ k$ associations, and any two associations have at most one common member. Prove that at least $ k$ associations have the same number of members.
Let $G$ be a directed graph with infinitely many vertices. It is known that for each vertex the outdegree is greater than the indegree. Let $O$ be a fixed vertex of $G$. For an arbitrary positive number $n$, let $V_{n}$ be the number of vertices which can be reached from $O$ passing through at most $n$ edges ( $O$ counts). Find the smallest possible value of $V_{n}$.
For a positive integer $a$, define a sequence of integers $x_1,x_2,\ldots$ by letting $x_1=a$ and $x_{n+1}=2x_n+1$ for $n\geq 1$. Let $y_n=2^{x_n}-1$. Determine the largest possible $k$ such that, for some positive integer $a$, the numbers $y_1,\ldots,y_k$ are all prime.
Suppose $x$ is a random real number between $1$ and $4$, and $y$ is a random real number between $1$ and $9$. If the expected value of \[ \left\lceil \log_2 x \right\rceil - \left\lfloor \log_3 y \right\rfloor \] can be expressed as $\frac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute $100m + n$.

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.
Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $p$ be a prime, such that $n>p$. Prove that : \[ \displaystyle \binom np \equiv \left\lfloor\frac{n}{p}\right\rfloor \ \pmod p. \]
