For $n\geq3$ define $S_n=\{1, 2, ..., n\}$. $A_1, A_{2}, ..., A_{n}$ are given subsets of $S_n$, each having an even number of elements. Prove that there exists a set $\{i_1, i_2, ..., i_t\}$, a nonempty subset of $S_n$ such that $$A_{i_1} \Delta A_{i_2} \Delta \ldots \Delta A_{i_t}=\emptyset$$ (For two sets $A, B$, we define $\Delta$ as $A \Delta B=(A\cup B)-(A\cap B)$)

Find all functions $f$ mapping non-empty finite sets of integers, to integers, such that $$f(A+B)=f(A)+f(B)$$ for all non-empty sets of integers $A$ and $B$. $A+B$ is defined as $\{a+b: a \in A, b \in B\}$.

On a set $G$ we are given an operation $*: G \times G \to G$, that for every pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $G$ gives back $x*y \in G$, and for every elements $x,y,z \in G$ the equation $(x*y)*z=x*(y*z)$ holds. $G$ is partitioned into three non-empty sets $A,B$ and $C$. Can it be that for every three elements $a \in A, b \in B, c \in C$ we have $a*b \in C, b*c \in A, c*a \in B$

Let $A$ be a subset of $\{1, 2, \dots , 1000000\}$ such that for any $x, y \in A$ with $x\neq y$, we have $xy\notin A$. Determine the maximum possible size of $A$.

For any nonempty set $S$, we define $\sigma(S)$ and $\pi(S)$ as sum and product of all elements from set $S$, respectively. Prove that $a)$ $\sum \limits_{} \frac{1}{\pi(S)} =n$ $b)$ $\sum \limits_{} \frac{\sigma(S)}{\pi(S)} =(n^2+2n)-\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{n}\right)(n+1)$ where $\sum$ denotes sum by all nonempty subsets $S$ of set $\{1,2,...,n\}$

In a class among 80 students number of boys is 40 and number of girls is 40. 50 of the students use spectacles. Which of the following is correct? [list=1] [*] Only 10 boys use spectacles [*] Only 20 girls use spectacles [*] At most 25 boys do not use spectacles [*] At most 30 girls do not use spectacles [/list]

Call a set $S$ [i]product-free[/i] if there do not exist $a, b, c \in S$ (not necessarily distinct) such that $a b = c$. For example, the empty set and the set $\{16, 20\}$ are product-free, whereas the sets $\{4, 16\}$ and $\{2, 8, 16\}$ are not product-free. Find the number of product-free subsets of the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}$.

A family of sets $F$ is called perfect if the following condition holds: For every triple of sets $X_1, X_2, X_3\in F$, at least one of the sets $$ (X_1\setminus X_2)\cap X_3,$$ $$(X_2\setminus X_1)\cap X_3$$ is empty. Show that if $F$ is a perfect family consisting of some subsets of a given finite set $U$, then $\left\lvert F\right\rvert\le\left\lvert U\right\rvert+1$. [i]Proposed by Michał Pilipczuk[/i]

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $A$ be a family of subsets of the set $\{1,2,...,n\},$ none of which contains another subset from A . Find the largest possible cardinality of $A$ .

Let $p \geq 7$ be a prime number and $$S = \bigg\{jp+1 : 1 \leq j \leq \frac{p-5}{2}\bigg\}.$$ Prove that at least one element of $S$ can be written as $x^2+y^2$, where $x, y$ are integers.

Let $I_1, I_2, I_3$ be three open intervals of $\mathbb{R}$ such that none is contained in another. If $I_1\cap I_2 \cap I_3$ is non-empty, then show that at least one of these intervals is contained in the union of the other two.

Consider all possible sets of natural numbers $(x_1, x_2, ..., x_{100})$ such that $1\leq x_i \leq 2017$ for every $i = 1,2, ..., 100$. We say that the set $(y_1, y_2, ..., y_{100})$ is greater than the set $(z_1, z_2, ..., z_{100})$ if $y_i> z_i$ for every $i = 1,2, ..., 100$. What is the largest number of sets that can be written on the board, so that any set is not more than the other set?

Given any set $S$ of positive integers, show that at least one of the following two assertions holds: (1) There exist distinct finite subsets $F$ and $G$ of $S$ such that $\sum_{x\in F}1/x=\sum_{x\in G}1/x$; (2) There exists a positive rational number $r<1$ such that $\sum_{x\in F}1/x\neq r$ for all finite subsets $F$ of $S$.

For any set $A = \{x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5\}$ of five distinct positive integers denote by $S_A$ the sum of its elements, and denote by $T_A$ the number of triples $(i, j, k)$ with $1 \le i < j < k \le 5$ for which $x_i + x_j + x_k$ divides $S_A$. Find the largest possible value of $T_A$.

Determine the largest positive integer $n$ for which there exist pairwise different sets $\mathbb{S}_1 , ..., \mathbb{S}_n$ with the following properties: $1$) $|\mathbb{S}_i \cup \mathbb{S}_j | \leq 2004$ for any two indices $1 \leq i, j\leq n$, and $2$) $\mathbb{S}_i \cup \mathbb{S}_j \cup \mathbb{S}_k = \{ 1,2,...,2008 \}$ for any $1 \leq i < j < k \leq n$ [i]Proposed by Ivan Matic[/i]

Given a positive integer $n$, show that the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$ can be partitioned into $m$ sets, each with the same sum, if and only if m is a divisor of $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$ which does not exceed $\frac{n + 1}{2}$.

We write $\{a,b,c\}$ for the set of three different positive integers $a, b$, and $c$. By choosing some or all of the numbers a, b and c, we can form seven nonempty subsets of $\{a,b,c\}$. We can then calculate the sum of the elements of each subset. For example, for the set $\{4,7,42\}$ we will find sums of $4, 7, 42,11, 46, 49$, and $53$ for its seven subsets. Since $7, 11$, and $53$ are prime, the set $\{4,7,42\}$ has exactly three subsets whose sums are prime. (Recall that prime numbers are numbers with exactly two different factors, $1$ and themselves. In particular, the number $1$ is not prime.) What is the largest possible number of subsets with prime sums that a set of three different positive integers can have? Give an example of a set $\{a,b,c\}$ that has that number of subsets with prime sums, and explain why no other three-element set could have more.

$(a)$ Is it possible to partition the segment $[0,1]$ into two sets $A$ and $B$ and to define a continuous function $f$ such that for every $x\in A \ f(x)$ is in $B$, and for every $x\in B \ f(x)$ is in $A$? $(b)$ The same question with $[0,1]$ replaced by $[0,1).$
