For a positive integer n the number $P(n)$ is the product of the positive divisors of $n$. For example, $P(20) = 8000$, as the positive divisors of $20$ are $1, 2, 4, 5, 10$ and $20$, whose product is $1 \cdot 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 10 \cdot 20 = 8000$. (a) Find all positive integers $n$ satisfying $P(n) = 15n$. (b) Show that there exists no positive integer $n$ such that $P(n) = 15n^2$.

Fix $a_1, . . . , a_n \in (0, 1)$ and define $$f(I) = \prod_{i \in I} a_i \cdot \prod_{j \notin I} (1 - a_j)$$ for each $I \subseteq \{1, . . . , n\}$. Assuming that $$\sum_{I\subseteq \{1,...,n\}, |I| odd} {f(I)} = \frac12,$$ show that at least one $a_i$ has to be equal to $\frac12$. (Paolo Leonetti)

Each segment whose endpoints are the vertices of a given regular $100$-gon is colored red, if the number of vertices between its endpoints is even, and blue otherwise. (For example, all sides of the $100$-gon are red.) A number is placed in every vertex so that the sum of their squares is equal to $1$. On each segment the product of the numbers at its endpoints is written. The sum of the numbers on the blue segments is subtracted from the sum of the numbers on the red segments. What is the greatest possible result? (Ilya Bogdanov)
