Positive integers are written on all the faces of a cube, one on each. At each corner of the cube, the product of the numbers on the faces that meet at the vertex is written. The sum of the numbers written on the corners is 2004. If T denotes the sum of the numbers on all the faces, find the possible values of T.
Let $a_{1},a_{2},...,a_{n+1}(n>1)$ are positive real numbers such that $a_{2}-a_{1}=a_{3}-a_{2}=...=a_{n+1}-a_{n}$. Prove that $\sum_{k=2}^{n}\frac{1}{a_{k}^{2}}\leq\frac{n-1}{2}.\frac{a_{1}a_{n}+a_{2}a_{n+1}}{a_{1}a_{2}a_{n}a_{n+1}}$
In a tournament among six teams, every team plays against each other team exactly once. When a team wins, it receives $3$ points and the losing team receives $0$ points. If the game is a draw, the two teams receive $1$ point each. Can the final scores of the six teams be six consecutive numbers $a,a +1,...,a + 5$? If so, determine all values of $a$ for which this is possible.
In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $CF$ is an altitude, with $F$ on $AB$, and $BM$ is a median, with $M$ on $CA$. Given that $BM=CF$ and $\angle MBC=\angle FCA$, prove that triangle $ABC$ is equilateral.

Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer. Elwyn is given an $n\times n$ table filled with real numbers (each cell of the table contains exactly one number). We define a [i]rook set[/i] as a set of $n$ cells of the table situated in $n$ distinct rows as well as in n distinct columns. Assume that, for every rook set, the sum of $n$ numbers in the cells forming the set is nonnegative.\\ \\ By a move, Elwyn chooses a row, a column, and a real number $a,$ and then he adds $a$ to each number in the chosen row, and subtracts $a$ from each number in the chosen column (thus, the number at the intersection of the chosen row and column does not change). Prove that Elwyn can perform a sequence of moves so that all numbers in the table become nonnegative.
