In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the lines $AB$ and $DC$ intersect at point $P{}$ and the lines $AD$ and $BC$ intersect at point $Q{}$. The points $E{}$ and $F{}$ are inside the quadrilateral $ABCD$ such that the circles $(ABE), (CDE), (BCF),(ADF)$ intersect at one point $K{}$.

Determine all functions $f$ from the reals to the reals for which (1) $f(x)$ is strictly increasing and (2) $f(x) + g(x) = 2x$ for all real $x$, where $g(x)$ is the composition inverse function to $f(x)$. (Note: $f$ and $g$ are said to be composition inverses if $f(g(x)) = x$ and $g(f(x)) = x$ for all real $x$.)

There are $n$ cells with indices from $1$ to $n$. Originally, in each cell, there is a card with the corresponding index on it. Vasya shifts the card such that in the $i$-th cell is now a card with the number $a_i$. Petya can swap any two cards with the numbers $x$ and $y$, but he must pay $2|x-y|$ coins. Show that Petya can return all the cards to their original position, not paying more than $|a_1-1|+|a_2-2|+\ldots +|a_n-n|$ coins.

1996 Estonia National Olympiad, 5

Three children wanted to make a table-game. For that purpose they wished to enumerate the $mn$ squares of an $m \times n$ game-board by the numbers $1, ... ,mn$ in such way that the numbers $1$ and $mn$ lie in the corners of the board and the squares with successive numbers have a common edge. The children agreed to place the initial square (with number $1$) in one of the corners but each child wanted to have the final square (with number $mn$ ) in different corner. For which numbers $m$ and $n$ is it possible to satisfy the wish of any of the children?

2022 Argentina National Olympiad, 1

For every positive integer $n$, $P(n)$ is defined as follows: For each prime divisor $p$ of $n$ is considered the largest integer $k$ such that $p^k\le n$ and all the $p^k$ are added. For example, for $n=100=2^2 \cdot 5^2$, as $2^6<100<2^7$ and $5^2<100<5^3$, it turns out that $P(100)=2^6+5^2=89$ Prove that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $P(n)>n$..

There are n cars waiting at distinct points of a circular race track. At the starting signal each car starts. Each car may choose arbitrarily which of the two possible directions to go. Each car has the same constant speed. Whenever two cars meet they both change direction (but not speed). Show that at some time each car is back at its starting point.
