Examine if we can place $9$ convex $6$-angled polygons the one next to the other (with common only one side or part of her) to construct a convex $39$-angled polygon.

Let be a function $ f:(0,\infty )\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} $ satisfying the following two properties: $ \text{(i) } 2\lfloor x \rfloor \le f(x) \le 2 \lfloor x \rfloor +2,\quad\forall x\in (0,\infty ) $ $ \text{(ii) } f\circ f $ is monotone Can $ f $ be non-monotone? Justify.

Suppose that $(f_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of continuous functions on the interval $[0,1]$ such that $$\int_{0}^{1}f_{m}(x)f_{n}(x) dx= \begin{cases} 1& \text{if}\;n=m\\ 0 & \text{if} \;n\ne m \end{cases}$$ and $\sup\{|f_{n}(x)|: x\in [0,1]\, \text{and}\, n=1,2,\dots\}< \infty$. Show that there exists no subsequence $(f_{n_{k}})$ of $(f_{n})$ such that $\lim_{k\to \infty}f_{n_{k}}(x)$ exist for all $x\in [0,1]$.

Find all positive integer pairs $(m, n)$ such that $m- n$ is a positive prime number and $mn$ is a perfect square. Justify your answer.

Determine if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $n^2+11$ is a prime number and $n+4$ is a perfect cube.

Let $P$ be a point inside or on the boundary of a square $ABCD$. Find the minimum and maximum values of $f(P ) = \angle ABP + \angle BCP + \angle CDP + \angle DAP$.

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral with $AB\parallel CD$ and $AC \perp BD$. Let $O$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$. On the rays $(OA$ and $(OB$ we consider the points $M$ and $N$ respectively such that $\angle ANC = \angle BMD = 90^\circ$. We denote with $E$ the midpoint of the segment $MN$. Prove that a) $\triangle OMN \sim \triangle OBA$; b) $OE \perp AB$. [i]Claudiu-Stefan Popa[/i]

Triangle $ABC$ has $\angle A = 60^o$, $\angle B = 45$, and $AC = 6$. Let $D$ be on $AB$ such that $AD = 3$. There is exactly one point $E$ on $BC$ such that $\overline{DE}$ divides $ABC$ into two cyclic polygons. Compute $DE^2$.

Let $a, b, c, d$ three strictly positive real numbers such that \[a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=d^{2}+e^{2},\] \[a^{4}+b^{4}+c^{4}=d^{4}+e^{4}.\] Compare \[a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}\] with \[d^{3}+e^{3},\]

Solve the system of equation $$x+y+z=2;$$$$(x+y)(y+z)+(y+z)(z+x)+(z+x)(x+y)=1;$$$$x^2(y+z)+y^2(z+x)+z^2(x+y)=-6.$$

An infinitely large grid is filled such that each grid square contains exactly one of the digits $\{ 1,2,3,4\},$ each digit appears at least once, and the digit in each grid square equals the digit located $5$ squares above it as well as the digit located $5$ squares to the right. A group of $4$ horizontally adjacent digits or $4$ vertically adjacent digits is chosen randomly, and depending on its orientation is read left to right or top to bottom to form an $4$-digit integer. The expected value of this integer is also a $4$-digit integer $N$. Given this, find the last three digits of the sum of all possible values of $N$.

Suppose that $P(z), Q(z)$, and $R(z)$ are polynomials with real coefficients, having degrees $2$, $3$, and $6$, respectively, and constant terms $1$, $2$, and $3$, respectively. Let $N$ be the number of distinct complex numbers $z$ that satisfy the equation $P(z) \cdot Q(z)=R(z)$. What is the minimum possible value of $N$? $\textbf{(A)}\: 0\qquad\textbf{(B)} \: 1\qquad\textbf{(C)} \: 2\qquad\textbf{(D)} \: 3\qquad\textbf{(E)} \: 5$

If the coefficient of the third term in the binomial expansion of $(1 - 3x)^{1/4}$ is $-a/b$, where $ a$ and $b$ are relatively prime integers, find $a+b$.

Find all real numbers $a$ such that exists function $\mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R} $ satisfying the following conditions: 1) $f(f(x)) =xf(x)-ax$ for all real $x$ 2) $f$ is not constant 3) $f$ takes the value $a$

It is election year in PUMACland, and for the presidential election there are $27$ people voting for either Vraj Patel or Vedant Shah. Each voter selects a candidate uniformly at random, and their ballots are labeled $1$ through $27.$ The election takes place as a series of rounds. In each round, the surviving ballots are sorted by label and separated into consecutive groups of three. From each group, the person with the most votes wins, and exactly one of the ballots bearing the winner’s name is allowed to proceed to the next round. This procedure continues until a single ballot remains, and the person whose name is on the ballot wins. Alice, Bob, and Carol submitted ballots numbered $1, 15,$ and $27,$ respectively. Suppose that Alice, Bob, and Carol had all flipped their votes. If the probability that the outcome of the election would have changed is $\tfrac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b,$ find $a + b.$

Suppose that the circumradius $R$ and the inradius $r$ of a triangle $ABC$ satisfy $R = 2r$. Prove that the triangle is equilateral.
