Find prime numbers $p$, $q$, $r$ and $s$, pairwise distinct, such that their sum is prime number and numbers $p^2+qr$ and $p^2+qs$ are perfect squares
assume that A is a finite subset of prime numbers, and a is an positive integer. prove that there are only finitely many positive integers m s.t: prime divisors of a^m-1 are contained in A.
Let $n$ be a positive integer. If $4^n + 2^n + 1$ is a prime, prove that $n$ is a power of three.
Let $p_k$ be the $k$-th prime number. Find the remainder when $\sum_{k=2}^{2550}p_k^{p_k^4-1}$ is divided by $2550$.
A well-known theorem asserts that a prime $p > 2$ can be written as the sum of two perfect squares ($p = m^2 +n^2$ , with $m$ and $n$ integers) if and only if $p \equiv 1$ (mod $4$). Assuming this result, find which primes $p > 2$ can be written in each of the following forms, using integers $x$ and $y$: a) $x^2 +16y^2, $ b) $4x^2 +4xy+ 5y^2.$
Let $a,b,c$ be positive integers such that the numbers $k=b^c+a, l=a^b+c, m=c^a+b$ to be prime numbers. Prove that at least two of the numbers $k,l,m$ are equal.

Let $a, b$ be positive integers and $p, q$ be prime numbers for which $p \nmid q - 1$ and $q \mid a^p - b^p$. Prove that $q \mid a - b$.
Let $ R$ be an infinite ring such that every subring of $ R$ different from $ \{0 \}$ has a finite index in $ R$. (By the index of a subring, we mean the index of its additive group in the additive group of $ R$.) Prove that the additive group of $ R$ is cyclic. [i]L. Lovasz, J. Pelikan[/i]
Determine all pairs of prime numbers $(p, q)$, with $2 \leq p, q < 100$, such that $p+6, p+10, q+4, q+10$ and $p+q+1$ are all prime numbers.
Find all prime numbers $p$ for which the number $p^2+11$ has less than $11$ divisors.
If $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, we say that $a$ [i]almost divides[/i] $b$ if $a$ divides at least one of $b - 1$ and $b + 1$. We call a positive integer $n$ [i]almost prime[/i] if the following holds: for any positive integers $a, b$ such that $n$ almost divides $ab$, we have that $n$ almost divides at least one of $a$ and $b$. Determine all almost prime numbers.

Construct a tetromino by attaching two $2 \times 1$ dominoes along their longer sides such that the midpoint of the longer side of one domino is a corner of the other domino. This construction yields two kinds of tetrominoes with opposite orientations. Let us call them $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, respectively. Assume that a lattice polygon $P$ can be tiled with $S$-tetrominoes. Prove that no matter how we tile $P$ using only $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, we always use an even number of $Z$-tetrominoes.

Find all prime numbers which can be presented as a sum of two primes and difference of two primes at the same time.
For a prime number $p > 3$, define the following irreducible fraction: $$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{p-1}{2} + \frac{p-2}{3} + \ldots + \frac{2}{p-1} - 1$$ Prove that $m$ is divisible by $p$. [i]Proposed by Oleksii Masalitin[/i]
