2008 Bulgarian Autumn Math Competition, Problem 11.4

a) Prove that $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is odd iff $\Big\lfloor 2\{\frac{x}{2}\}\Big\rfloor=1$ ($\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to $x$ and $\{x\}=x-\lfloor x\rfloor$). b) Let $n$ be a natural number. Find the number of [i]square free[/i] numbers $a$, such that $\Big\lfloor\frac{n}{\sqrt{a}}\Big\rfloor$ is odd. (A natural number is [i]square free[/i] if it's not divisible by any square of a prime number).

A bored student walks down a hall that contains a row of closed lockers, numbered 1 to 1024. He opens the locker numbered 1, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. When he reaches the end of the hall, the student turns around and starts back. He opens the first closed locker he encounters, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. The student continues wandering back and forth in this manner until every locker is open. What is the number of the last locker he opens?

Let $D$ be the point different from $B$ on the hypotenuse $AB$ of a right triangle $ABC$ such that $|CB| = |CD|$. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $ACD$. Rays $OD$ and $CB$ intersect at point $P$, and the line through point $O$ perpendicular to side AB and ray $CD$ intersect at point $Q$. Points $A, C, P, Q$ are concyclic. Does this imply that $ACPQ$ is a square?

2014 Saudi Arabia Pre-TST, 4.3

Fatima and Asma are playing the following game. First, Fatima chooses $2013$ pairwise different numbers, called $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$. Then, Asma tries to know the value of each number $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$.. At each time, Asma chooses $1 \le i < j \le 2013$ and asks Fatima ''[i]What is the set $\{a_i,a_j\}$?[/i]'' (For example, if Asma asks what is the set $\{a_i,a_j\}$, and $a_1 = 17$ and $a_2 = 13$, Fatima will answer $\{13. 17\}$). Find the least number of questions Asma needs to ask, to know the value of all the numbers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2013}$.
