$\definecolor{A}{RGB}{70,255,50}\color{A}\fbox{C6.}$ There are $n$ $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ and $n$ $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{255,0,255}\color{A}\text{girls}$ in a club. Some of them are friends with each other. The $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ want to get into a [i]relationship[/i], so some subset of them wants to ask some $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{255,0,255}\color{A}\text{girls}$ out for a trip. Because the $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ are shy, for a nonempty set $B$ of $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$, they want to make sure that each of the girl they ask out is friend with one of the $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ in $B$. If the number of $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{255,0,255}\color{A}\text{girls}$ they are able to ask out is smaller than the number of the $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ in $B$, then the nonempty set $B$ of those $\definecolor{A}{RGB}{0,0,255}\color{A}\text{boys}$ is called a group of complete losers. Show that for any $0 \le k < 2n$, there exists an arrangement of the [i]friendships[/i] among those $2n$ people so that there are exactly $k$ groups of complete losers.

Let $f$ be a function with the following properties: 1) $f(n)$ is defined for every positive integer $n$; 2) $f(n)$ is an integer; 3) $f(2)=2$; 4) $f(mn)=f(m)f(n)$ for all $m$ and $n$; 5) $f(m)>f(n)$ whenever $m>n$. Prove that $f(n)=n$.

On the football training there was $n$ footballers - forwards and goalkeepers. They made $k$ goals. Prove that main trainer can give for every footballer squad number from $1$ to $n$ such, that for every goal the difference between squad number of forward and squad number of goalkeeper is more than $n-k$.

Let $ c > 2,$ and let $ a(1), a(2), \ldots$ be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers such that \[ a(m \plus{} n) \leq 2 \cdot a(m) \plus{} 2 \cdot a(n) \text{ for all } m,n \geq 1, \] and $ a\left(2^k \right) \leq \frac {1}{(k \plus{} 1)^c} \text{ for all } k \geq 0.$ Prove that the sequence $ a(n)$ is bounded.

There are several rational numbers written on a board. If the numbers $x{}$ and $y{}$ are present on the board, we can add the number $(x+y)/(1-xy)$ to it. Prove that there is a rational number that cannot ever appear on the board.

Wanda the Worm likes to eat Pascal's triangle. One day, she starts at the top of the triangle and eats $\textstyle\binom{0}{0}=1$. Each move, she travels to an adjacent positive integer and eats it, but she can never return to a spot that she has previously eaten. If Wanda can never eat numbers $a,b,c$ such that $a+b=c$, prove that it is possible for her to eat 100,000 numbers in the first 2011 rows given that she is not restricted to traveling only in the first 2011 rows. (Here, the $n+1$st row of Pascal's triangle consists of entries of the form $\textstyle\binom{n}{k}$ for integers $0\le k\le n$. Thus, the entry $\textstyle\binom{n}{k}$ is considered adjacent to the entries $\textstyle\binom{n-1}{k-1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n-1}{k}$, $\textstyle\binom{n}{k-1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n}{k+1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n+1}{k}$, $\textstyle\binom{n+1}{k+1}$.)

Suppose that a sequence $a_1,a_2,\ldots$ of positive real numbers satisfies \[a_{k+1}\geq\frac{ka_k}{a_k^2+(k-1)}\] for every positive integer $k$. Prove that $a_1+a_2+\ldots+a_n\geq n$ for every $n\geq2$.

The Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ are defined inductively by $F_0=0, F_1=1$, and $F_{n+1}=F_n+F_{n-1}$ for $n \ge 1$. Given an integer $n \ge 2$, determine the smallest size of a set $S$ of integers such that for every $k=2, 3, . . . , n$ there exist some $x, y \in S$ such that $x-y=F_k$. [i]Proposed by Croatia[/i]

There are representants from $n$ different countries sit around a circular table ($n\geq2$), in such way that if two representants are from the same country, then, their neighbors to the right are not from the same country. Find, for every $n$, the maximal number of people that can be sit around the table.

Find the smallest positive integer $n$ or show no such $n$ exists, with the following property: there are infinitely many distinct $n$-tuples of positive rational numbers $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)$ such that both $$a_1+a_2+\dots +a_n \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{a_1} + \frac{1}{a_2} + \dots + \frac{1}{a_n}$$ are integers.

Players $A$ and $B$ play a "paintful" game on the real line. Player $A$ has a pot of paint with four units of black ink. A quantity $p$ of this ink suffices to blacken a (closed) real interval of length $p$. In every round, player $A$ picks some positive integer $m$ and provides $1/2^m $ units of ink from the pot. Player $B$ then picks an integer $k$ and blackens the interval from $k/2^m$ to $(k+1)/2^m$ (some parts of this interval may have been blackened before). The goal of player $A$ is to reach a situation where the pot is empty and the interval $[0,1]$ is not completely blackened. Decide whether there exists a strategy for player $A$ to win in a finite number of moves.

Let $n > 3$ be a natural number, and let $x_1$, $x_2$, ..., $x_n$ be $n$ positive real numbers whose product is $1$. Prove the inequality \[ \frac {1}{1 + x_1 + x_1\cdot x_2} + \frac {1}{1 + x_2 + x_2\cdot x_3} + ... + \frac {1}{1 + x_n + x_n\cdot x_1} > 1. \]

Consider 26 letters $A,..., Z$. A string is a finite sequence consisting of those letters. We say that a string $s$ is nice if it contains each of the 26 letters at least once, and each permutation of letters $A,..., Z$ occurs in $s$ as a subsequences the same number of times. Prove that: (a) There exists a nice string. (b) Any nice string contains at least $2022$ letters.

Define the sequence $a_0,a_1,a_2,\hdots$ by $a_n=2^n+2^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$. Prove that there are infinitely many terms of the sequence which can be expressed as a sum of (two or more) distinct terms of the sequence, as well as infinitely many of those which cannot be expressed in such a way.

Find all functions $f : Z^+ \to Z^+$ such that $n^3 - n^2 \le f(n) \cdot (f(f(n)))^2 \le n^3 + n^2$ for every $n$ in positive integers
