1967 IMO Shortlist, 2

If $x$ is a positive rational number show that $x$ can be uniquely expressed in the form $x = \sum^n_{k=1} \frac{a_k}{k!}$ where $a_1, a_2, \ldots$ are integers, $0 \leq a_n \leq n - 1$, for $n > 1,$ and the series terminates. Show that $x$ can be expressed as the sum of reciprocals of different integers, each of which is greater than $10^6.$

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and let $d$ be a line such that $\Gamma$ and $d$ have no common points. Further, let $AB$ be a diameter of the circle $\Gamma$; assume that this diameter $AB$ is perpendicular to the line $d$, and the point $B$ is nearer to the line $d$ than the point $A$. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point on the circle $\Gamma$, different from the points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AC$ and $d$. One of the two tangents from the point $D$ to the circle $\Gamma$ touches this circle $\Gamma$ at a point $E$; hereby, we assume that the points $B$ and $E$ lie in the same halfplane with respect to the line $AC$. Denote by $F$ the point of intersection of the lines $BE$ and $d$. Let the line $AF$ intersect the circle $\Gamma$ at a point $G$, different from $A$. Prove that the reflection of the point $G$ in the line $AB$ lies on the line $CF$.

A whole number is written on each square of a board of $2019\times 2021$ squares. If the number written in each square is equal to the arithmetic mean of the numbers written in two of its neighboring squares, how many different numbers written on the blackboard can there be at most? Note: Two squares on the board are neighbors when they have a common side.

VI Soros Olympiad 1999 - 2000 (Russia), 10.3

Some pairs of cities in the country are connected by airlines, and some are not. But every city has an airport, from which you can get to any other city, making no more than one transfer. A tourist who wants to make a round trip through several cities of the country will have to fly around at least five cities. Prove that the same number of airlines depart from each city of the country (If there is an airline from one city to another, then there is also one from the second to the first. A circular trip is a route that passes through at least three cities, starting and ending in same city, other cities are not repeated in it)
