The pairwise greatest common divisors of five positive integers are $$2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, p, q, r$$ in some order, for some positive integers $p, q, r$. Compute the minimum possible value of $p + q + r$.
Triangles $ABC$ and $BDC$ are such that $\angle{ABC}=\angle{BDC}=90^{\circ}$ and $\angle{DBC}=\angle{CAB}$. Let $Q$ be a point on $\overline{BD}$ such that $\overline{QC}\perp\overline{AD}$. Suppose that $BD=15$. Then $DQ$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
How many positive integers $n$, with $n\le 2007$, yield a solution for $x$ (where $x$ is real) in the equation $\lfloor x \rfloor+\lfloor 2x\rfloor+\lfloor 3x\rfloor=n$?
In a school there are $2007$ male and $2007$ female students. Each student joins not more than $100$ clubs in the school. It is known that any two students of opposite genders have joined at least one common club. Show that there is a club with at least $11$ male and $11$ female members.
Several distinct real numbers are written on a blackboard. Peter wants to make an expression such that its values are exactly these numbers. To make such an expression, he may use any real numbers, brackets, and usual signs $+$ , $-$ and $\times$. He may also use a special sign $\pm$: computing the values of the resulting expression, he chooses values $+$ or $-$ for every $\pm$ in all possible combinations. For instance, the expression $5 \pm 1$ results in $\{4, 6 \}$, and $(2 \pm 0.5) \pm 0.5$ results in $\{1, 2, 3 \}$. Can Pete construct such an expression: $a)$ If the numbers on the blackboard are $1, 2, 4$; $b)$ For any collection of $100$ distinct real numbers on a blackboard?
A triangle $ ABC$ has an obtuse angle at $ B$. The perpindicular at $ B$ to $ AB$ meets $ AC$ at $ D$, and $ |CD| \equal{} |AB|$. Prove that $ |AD|^2 \equal{} |AB|.|BC|$ if and only if $ \angle CBD \equal{} 30^\circ$.
Points $A,B,C,D,E,F$ lie in that order on semicircle centered at $O$, we assume that $AD=BE=CF$. $G$ is a common point of $BE$ and $AD$, $H$ is a common point of $BE$ and $CD$. Prove that: \[\angle AOC=2\angle GOH.\]
We are given a 7x7 square board. In each square, one of the diagonals is traced, and then one of the two formed triangles is colored blue. What is the largest area a continuous blue component can have? (Note: continuous blue component means a set of blue triangles connected via their edges, passing through corners is not permitted)
On some planet, there are $2^N$ countries $(N \geq 4).$ Each country has a flag $N$ units wide and one unit high composed of $N$ fields of size $1 \times 1,$ each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag. We say that a set of $N$ flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an $N \times N$ square so that all $N$ fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer $M$ such that among any $M$ distinct flags, there exist $N$ flags forming a diverse set. [i]Proposed by Tonći Kokan, Croatia[/i]
