Let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ be a sequence of real numbers, and let $m$ be a fixed positive integer less than $n$. We say an index $k$ with $1\le k\le n$ is good if there exists some $\ell$ with $1\le \ell \le m$ such that $a_k+a_{k+1}+...+a_{k+\ell-1}\ge0$, where the indices are taken modulo $n$. Let $T$ be the set of all good indices. Prove that $\sum\limits_{k \in T}a_k \ge 0$. [i]Proposed by Mark Sellke[/i]

There're two positive inegers $a_1<a_2$. For every positive integer $n \geq 3$ let $a_n$ be the smallest integer that bigger than $a_{n-1}$ and such that there's unique pair $1\leq i< j\leq n-1$ such that this number equals to $a_i+a_j$. Given that there're finitely many even numbers in this sequence. Prove that sequence $\{a_{n+1}-a_n \}$ is periodic starting from some element.

In triangle $ABC$, the angle bisectors are $BE$ and $CF$ (where $E, F$ are on the sides of the triangle), and their intersection point is $I$. Point $N$ lies on the circumcircle of $AEF$, and the angle $\angle IAN$ is right. The circumcircle of $AEF$ meets the line $NI$ a second time at the point $L$. Show that the circumcenter of $AIL$ lies on line $BC$.

Consider $n$ persons, each of them speaking at most $3$ languages. From any $3$ persons there are at least two which speak a common language. i) For $n \le 8$, exhibit an example in which no language is spoken by more than two persons. ii) For $n \ge 9$, prove that there exists a language which is spoken by at least three persons

1966 IMO, 1

In a mathematical contest, three problems, $A,B,C$ were posed. Among the participants ther were 25 students who solved at least one problem each. Of all the contestants who did not solve problem $A$, the number who solved $B$ was twice the number who solved $C$. The number of students who solved only problem $A$ was one more than the number of students who solved $A$ and at least one other problem. Of all students who solved just one problem, half did not solve problem $A$. How many students solved only problem $B$?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Each point $(x,y)$ in the plane, where $x$ and $y$ are non-negative integers with $x+y<n$, is coloured red or blue, subject to the following condition: if a point $(x,y)$ is red, then so are all points $(x',y')$ with $x'\leq x$ and $y'\leq y$. Let $A$ be the number of ways to choose $n$ blue points with distinct $x$-coordinates, and let $B$ be the number of ways to choose $n$ blue points with distinct $y$-coordinates. Prove that $A=B$.

$20$ players enter a chess tournament in which each player will play every other player exactly once. Some competitors are cheaters and will cheat in every game they play, but the rest of the competitors are not cheaters. A game is cheating if both players cheat, and a game is half-cheating if one player cheats and one player does not. If there were $68$ more half-cheating games than cheating games, how many of the players are cheaters?

A grasshopper jumps on the plane from an integer point (point with integer coordinates) to another integer point according to the following rules: His first jump is of length $\sqrt{98}$, his second jump is of length $\sqrt{149}$, his next jump is of length $\sqrt{98}$, and so on, alternatively. What is the least possible odd number of moves in which the grasshopper could return to his starting point?
