For a positive integer $n$, an $n$-configuration is a family of sets $\left\langle A_{i,j}\right\rangle_{1\le i,j\le n}.$ An $n$-configuration is called [i]sweet[/i] if for every pair of indices $(i, j)$ with $1\le i\le n -1$ and $1\le j\le n$ we have $A_{i,j}\subseteq A_{i+1,j}$ and $A_{j,i}\subseteq A_{j,i+1}.$ Let $f(n, k)$ denote the number of sweet $n$-configurations such that $A_{n,n}\subseteq \{1, 2,\ldots , k\}$. Determine which number is larger: $f\left(2024, 2024^2\right)$ or $f\left(2024^2, 2024\right).$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $D$ a point on its side $BC.$ Points $E, F$ lie on the lines $AB, AC$ beyond vertices $B, C,$ respectively, such that $BE = BD$ and $CF = CD.$ Let $P$ be a point such that $D$ is the incenter of triangle $P EF.$ Prove that $P$ lies inside the circumcircle $\Omega$ of triangle $ABC$ or on it.

Let $ABC$ be an acute angled triangle and $\Gamma$ its circumcircle. Led $D$ be a point on segment $BC$, different from $B$ and $C$, and let $M$ be the midpoint of $AD$. The line perpendicular to $AB$ that passes through $D$ intersects $AB$ in $E$ and $\Gamma$ in $F$, with point $D$ between $E$ and $F$. Lines $FC$ and $EM$ intersect at point $X$. If $\angle DAE = \angle AFE$, show that line $AX$ is tangent to $\Gamma$.

Let $\alpha\neq0$ be a real number. Determine all functions $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that \[f\left(x^2+y^2\right)=f(x-y)f(x+y)+\alpha yf(y)\] holds for all $x, y\in\mathbb R.$

Consider the configurations of integers
$a_{1,1}$
$a_{2,1} \quad a_{2,2}$
$a_{3,1} \quad a_{3,2} \quad a_{3,3}$
$\dots \quad \dots \quad \dots$
$a_{2017,1} \quad a_{2017,2} \quad a_{2017,3} \quad \dots \quad a_{2017,2017}$
Where $a_{i,j} = a_{i+1,j} + a_{i+1,j+1}$ for all $i,j$ such that $1 \leq j \leq i \leq 2016$.
Determine the maximum amount of odd integers that such configuration can contain.

For every positive integer $n$ let $S(n)$ be the sum of its digits. We say $n$ has a property $P$ if all terms in the infinite secuence $n, S(n), S(S(n)),...$ are even numbers, and we say $n$ has a property $I$ if all terms in this secuence are odd. Show that for, $1 \le n \le 2017$ there are more $n$ that have property $I$ than those who have $P$.

Determine whether there exist infinitely many triples $(a, b, c)$ of positive integers such that every prime $p$ divides \[\left\lfloor\left(a+b\sqrt{2024}\right)^p\right\rfloor-c.\]
