Seven cyclists follow one another, in a line, on a narrow way. By the end of the training, each cyclist complains about the style of driving of the one in front of him. They agree to rearrange themselves the next day, so that no cyclist would follow the same cyclist he follows the first day. How many such rearrangements are possible?

The infinite geometric series of positive reals $a_1, a_2, \dots$ satisfies
\[ 1 = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n = -\frac{1}{2013} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \text{GM}(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n) = \frac{1}{N} + a_1 \]
where $\text{GM}(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k) = \sqrt[k]{x_1x_2\cdots x_k}$ denotes the geometric mean. Compute $N$.

On the plane are three straight lines $\ell_1, \ell_2,\ell_3$, forming a triangle, and the point $O$ is marked, the center of the circumscribed circle of this triangle. For an arbitrary point X of the plane, we denote by $X_i$ the point symmetric to the point X with respect to the line $\ell_i, i = 1,2,3$.
a) Prove that for an arbitrary point $M$ the straight lines connecting the midpoints of the segments $O_1O_2$ and $M_1M_2, O_2O_3$ and $M_2M_3, O_3O_1$ and $M_3M_1$ intersect at one point,
b) where can this intersection point lie?

Consider an arc of a planar curve; let the radius of curvature at any point of the arc be a differentiable function of the arc length and its derivative be everywhere different from zero; moreover, let the total curvature be less than $ \frac{\pi}{2}$. Let $ P_1,P_2,P_3,P_4,P_5$ and $ P_6$ be any points on this arc, subject to the only condition that the radius of curvature at $ P_k$ is greater than at $ P_j$ if $ j<k$.
Prove that the radius of the circle passing through the points $ P_1,P_3$ and $ P_5$ is less than the radius of the circle through $ P_2,P_4$ and $ P_6$

An equilateral triangle is drawn with a side of length $ a$. A new equilateral triangle is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the first one. Then a third equilateral triangle is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the second; and so on forever. The limit of the sum of the perimeters of all the triangles thus drawn is:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{Infinite} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5\frac {1}{4}a \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2a \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6a \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 4\frac {1}{2}a$

Natural number $N$ is given. Let $p_N$ - biggest prime, that $ \leq N$. On every move we replace $N$ by $N-p_N$. We repeat this until we get $0$ or $1$. If we get $1$ then $N$ is called as good, else is bad. For example, $95$ is good because we get $95 \to 6 \to 1$.
Prove that among numbers from $1$ to $1000000$ there are between one quarter and half good numbers

We say that a positive integer $n$ is [i]nice[/i] if we can split the numbers $1,2,\ldots,n$ into three sets, so that the sum of the numbers in each set is the same. For example, the number $12$ is nice because we can divide the numbers $1,2,\ldots,12$ into the sets $\left\{1,2,4,5,6,8\right\}$, $\left\{7,9,10\right\}$, and $\left\{3,11,12\right\}$, and the sum of the numbers in each set is $26$.
Find all nice positive integers.
