Find all polynomials $P(x)$ with integer coefficients, such that for each of them there exists a positive integer $N$, such that for any positive integer $n\geq N$, number $P(n)$ is a positive integer and a divisor of $n!$. [i]Proposed by Mykyta Kharin[/i]
Find all integers $n$ satisfying $n \geq 2$ and $\dfrac{\sigma(n)}{p(n)-1} = n$, in which $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of all positive divisors of $n$, and $p(n)$ denotes the largest prime divisor of $n$.
There are $20$ cats priced from $\$12$ to $\$15$ and $20$ sacks priced from $10$ cents to $\$1$ for sale, all of different prices. Prove that John and Peter can each buy a cat in a sack paying the same amount of money.
In triangle $ABC$ the bisector of angle $A$, the perpendicular to side $AB$ from its midpoint, and the altitude from vertex $B$, intersect in the same point. Prove that the bisector of angle $A$, the perpendicular to side $AC$ from its midpoint, and the altitude from vertex $C$ also intersect in the same point.
Let $P$ be a point inside the triangle $ABC$, such that the angles $\angle CBP$ and $\angle PAC$ are equal. Denote the intersection of the line $AP$ and the segment $BC$ by $D$, and the intersection of the line $BP$ with the segment $AC$ by $E$. The circumcircles of the triangles $ADC$ and $BEC$ meet at $C$ and $F$. Show that the line $CP$ bisects the angle $DFE$. Please remember to hide your solution. (by using the hide tags of course.. I don't literally mean that you should hide it :ninja: )

Find the 3-digit positive integer that has the most divisors.
In three houses $A,B$ and $C$, forming a right triangle with the legs $AC=30$ and $CB=40$, live three beetles $a,b$ and $c$, capable of moving at speeds of $2, 3$ and $4$, respectively. Suppose that you simultaneously release these bugs from point $M$ and mark the time after which beetles reach their homes. Find on the plane such a point $M$, where is the last time to reach the house a bug would be minimal.

We call a permutation of the numbers $1$, $2$, $3$, $\dots$ , $n$ 'kawaii' if there is exactly one number that is greater than its position. For example: $1$, $4$, $3$, $2$ is a kawaii permutation (when $n=4$) because only the number $4$ is greater than its position $2$. How many kawaii permutations are there if $n=14$?
Let $\lfloor \bullet \rfloor$ denote the floor function. For nonnegative integers $a$ and $b$, their [i]bitwise xor[/i], denoted $a \oplus b$, is the unique nonnegative integer such that $$ \left \lfloor \frac{a}{2^k} \right \rfloor+ \left\lfloor\frac{b}{2^k} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \frac{a\oplus b}{2^k}\right\rfloor$$ is even for every $k \ge 0$.
