Show that for any $n > 5$ we can find positive integers $x_1, x_2, ... , x_n$ such that $\frac{1}{x_1} + \frac{1}{x_2} +... + \frac{1}{x_n} = \frac{1997}{1998}$. Show that in any such equation there must be two of the $n$ numbers with a common divisor ($> 1$).

p1. It is known that $m$ and $n$ are two positive integer numbers consisting of four digits and three digits respectively. Both numbers contain the number $4$ and the number $5$. The number $59$ is a prime factor of $m$. The remainder of the division of $n$ by $38$ is $ 1$. If the difference between $m$ and $n$ is not more than $2015$. determine all possible pairs of numbers $(m,n)$.
p2. It is known that the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = $0 with $a> 0$ has two different real roots and the equation $ac^2x^4 + 2acdx^3 + (bc + ad^2) x^2 + bdx + c = 0$ has no real roots. Is it true that $ad^2 + 2ad^2 <4bc + 16c^3$ ?
p3. A basketball competition consists of $6$ teams. Each team carries a team flag that is mounted on a pole located on the edge of the match field. There are four locations and each location has five poles in a row. Pairs of flags at each location starting from the far right pole in sequence. If not all poles in each location must be flagged, determine as many possible flag arrangements.
p4. It is known that two intersecting circles $L_1$ and $L_2$ have centers at $M$ and $N$ respectively. The radii of the circles $L_1$ and $L_2$ are $5$ units and $6$ units respectively. The circle $L_1$ passes through the point $N$ and intersects the circle $L_2$ at point $P$ and at point $Q$. The point $U$ lies on the circle $L_2$ so that the line segment $PU$ is a diameter of the circle $L_2$. The point $T$ lies at the extension of the line segment $PQ$ such that the area of the quadrilateral $QTUN$ is $792/25$ units of area. Determine the length of the $QT$.
p5. An ice ball has an initial volume $V_0$. After $n$ seconds ($n$ is natural number), the volume of the ice ball becomes $V_n$ and its surface area is $L_n$. The ice ball melts with a change in volume per second proportional to its surface area, i.e. $V_n - V_{n+1} = a L_n$, for every n, where a is a positive constant. It is also known that the ratio between the volume changes and the change of the radius per second is proportional to the area of the property, that is $\frac{V_n - V_{n+1}}{R_n - R_{n+1}}= k L_n$ , where $k$ is a positive constant. If $V_1=\frac{27}{64} V_0$ and the ice ball melts totally at exactly $h$ seconds, determine the value of $h$.

Polina wrote on the first page of her notebook $n$ different positive integers. On the second page she wrote all pairwise sums of the numbers from the first page, and on the third - absolute values of pairwise differences of number from the second page. After that she kept doing same operations, i.e. on the page $2k$ she wrote all pairwise sums of numbers from page $2k-1$, and on the page $2k+1$ absolute values of differences of numbers from page $2k$. At some moment Polina noticed that there exists a number $M$ such that, no matter how long she does her operations, on every page there are always at most $M$ distinct numbers.
What is the biggest $n$ for which it is possible?

Let $\mathcal F$ be the set of functions $f(x,y)$ that are twice continuously differentiable for $x\geq 1$, $y\geq 1$ and that satisfy the following two equations (where subscripts denote partial derivatives):
\[xf_x + yf_y = xy\ln(xy),\] \[x^2f_{xx} + y^2f_{yy} = xy.\]
For each $f\in\mathcal F$, let
\[
m(f) = \min_{s\geq 1}\left(f(s+1,s+1) - f(s+1,s)-f(s,s+1) + f(s,s)\right).

Determine $m(f)$, and show that it is independent of the choice of $f$.

Tomek invited to a remote birthday part $11$ of his friends who will join the meeting one by one. Tomek chose the guests in such a way that, regardless of the order in which they will join, always the newcomer knew at least half of the people already present, including Tomek. Prove that among of invited guests, there is one who knows all of Tom's other $10$ friends.
Caution: We assume that if person A knows person $B$, then $B$ also knows $A$.

Bilbo, Gandalf, and Nitzan play the following game. First, Nitzan picks a whole number between $1$ and $2^{2022}$ inclusive and reveals it to Bilbo. Bilbo now compiles a string of length $4044$ built from the three letters $a,b,c$. Nitzan looks at the string, chooses one of the three letters $a,b,c$, and removes from the string all instances of the chosen letter. Only then is the string revealed to Gandalf. He must now guess the number Nitzan chose.
Can Bilbo and Gandalf work together and come up with a strategy beforehand that will always allow Gandalf to guess Nitzan's number correctly, no matter how he acts?
