2008 Putnam, A3

Start with a finite sequence $ a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ of positive integers. If possible, choose two indices $ j < k$ such that $ a_j$ does not divide $ a_k$ and replace $ a_j$ and $ a_k$ by $ \gcd(a_j,a_k)$ and $ \text{lcm}\,(a_j,a_k),$ respectively. Prove that if this process is repeated, it must eventually stop and the final sequence does not depend on the choices made. (Note: $ \gcd$ means greatest common divisor and lcm means least common multiple.)

2013 Tournament of Towns, 3

Each of $11$ weights is weighing an integer number of grams. No two weights are equal. It is known that if all these weights or any group of them are placed on a balance then the side with a larger number of weights is always heavier. Prove that at least one weight is heavier than $35$ grams.

The six-digit decimal number contains six different non-zero digits and is divisible by $37$. Prove that having transposed its digits you can obtain at least $23$ more numbers divisible by $37$

2019 BAMO, 5

Every positive integer is either [i]nice [/i] or [i]naughty[/i], and the Oracle of Numbers knows which are which. However, the Oracle will not directly tell you whether a number is [i]nice [/i] or [i]naughty[/i]. The only questions the Oracle will answer are questions of the form “What is the sum of all nice divisors of $n$?,” where $n$ is a number of the questioner’s choice. For instance, suppose ([i]just [/i] for this example) that $2$ and $3$ are nice, while $1$ and $6$ are [i]naughty[/i]. In that case, if you asked the Oracle, “What is the sum of all nice divisors of $6$?,” the Oracle’s answer would be $5$. Show that for any given positive integer $n$ less than $1$ million, you can determine whether $n$ is [i]nice [/i] or [i]naughty [/i] by asking the Oracle at most four questions.
