Find all functions $f:\mathbb{Q}^+\to\mathbb{Q}^+$ such that \[xy(f(x)-f(y))|x-f(f(y))\] holds for all positive rationals $x$, $y$ (we define that $a|b$ if and only if exist $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $b=an$) [i]Proposed by supercarry & windleaf1A[/i]

Five real numbers of absolute values not greater than $1$ and having the sum equal to $1$ are written on the circumference of a circle. Prove that one can choose three consecutively disposed numbers $a, b, c$, such that all the sums $a + b,b + c$ and $a + b + c$ are nonnegative.

Acute triangle $ABC$ has circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC.$ Points $P$ and $Q$ lie on $\Gamma$ so that $\angle APM = 90^{\circ}$ and $Q \neq A$ lies on line $AM.$ Segments $PQ$ and $BC$ intersect at $S$. Suppose that $BS = 1, CS = 3, PQ = 8\sqrt{\tfrac{7}{37}},$ and the radius of $\Gamma$ is $r$. If the sum of all possible values of $r^2$ can be expressed as $\tfrac ab$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b,$ compute $100a + b$.

Let $O$ be a fixed point in the plane. We have $2024$ red points, $2024$ yellow points and $2024$ green points in the plane, where there isn't any three colinear points and all points are distinct from $O$. It is known that for any two colors, the convex hull of the points that are from any of those two colors contains $O$ (it maybe contain it in it's interior or in a side of it). We say that a red point, a yellow point and a green point make a [i]bolivian[/i] triangle if said triangle contains $O$ in its interior or in one of its sides. Determine the greatest positive integer $k$ such that, no matter how such points are located, there is always at least $k$ [i]bolivian[/i] triangles.

Decide whether there exists a set $M$ of positive integers satisfying the following conditions: (i) For any natural number $m>1$ there exist $a, b \in M$ such that $a+b = m.$ (ii) If $a, b, c, d \in M$, $a, b, c, d > 10$ and $a + b = c + d$, then $a = c$ or $a = d.$

Twelve balls are numbered by the numbers $1,2,3,\cdots,12$. Each ball is colored either red or green, so that the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) If two balls marked by different numbers $a$ and $b$ are colored red and $a+b<13$, then the ball marked by the number $a+b$ is colored red, too. (ii) If two balls marked by different numbers $a$ and $b$ are colored green and $a+b<13$, then the ball marked by the number $a+b$ is also colored green. How many ways are there of coloring the balls? Please remember to hide your solution. (by using the hide tags of course.. I don't literally mean that you should hide it :ninja: )

Let $-2 < x_1 < 2$ be a real number and define $x_2, x_3, \ldots$ by $x_{n+1} = x_n^2-2$ for $n \geq 1$. Assume that no $x_n$ is $0$ and define a number $A$, $0 \leq A \leq 1$ in the following way: The $n^{\text{th}}$ digit after the decimal point in the binary representation of $A$ is a $0$ if $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$ is positive and $1$ otherwise.

Original post by shalomrav, but for some reason the mods locked the problem without any solves :noo: Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in circle $\Omega$. Let $F_A$ be the (associated with $\Omega$) Feuerbach point of the triangle formed by the tangents to $\Omega$ at $B,C,D$, that is, the point of tangency of $\Omega$ and the nine-point circle of that triangle. Define $F_B, F_C, F_D$ similarly. Let $A'$ be the intersection of the tangents to $\Omega$ at $A$ and $F_A$. Define $B', C', D'$ similarly. Prove that quadrilaterals $ABCD$ and $A'B'C'D'$ are similar

Prove that for any convex quadrilateral it is always possible to cut out three smaller quadrilaterals similar to the original one with the scale factor equal to 1/2. (The angles of a smaller quadrilateral are equal to the corresponding original angles and the sides are twice smaller then the corresponding sides of the original quadrilateral.)

Call a sequence of positive integers $\{a_n\}$ good if for any distinct positive integers $m,n$, one has $$\gcd(m,n) \mid a_m^2 + a_n^2 \text{ and } \gcd(a_m,a_n) \mid m^2 + n^2.$$ Call a positive integer $a$ to be $k$-good if there exists a good sequence such that $a_k = a$.
