A $3n$-table is a table with three rows and $n$ columns containing all the numbers $1, 2, …, 3n$. Such a table is called [i]tidy [/i] if the $n$ numbers in the first row appear in ascending order from left to right, and the three numbers in each column appear in ascending order from top to bottom. How many tidy $3n$-tables exist?
The value of \[\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{21}+\frac{1}{20\times 21}\] can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Nathan Xiong[/i]
How many squares whose sides are parallel to the axes and whose vertices have coordinates that are integers lie entirely within the region bounded by the line $y=\pi x$, the line $y=-0.1$ and the line $x=5.1?$ $\textbf{(A)}\ 30 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 41 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 45 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 50 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 57$

Let $p,q$ be positive prime numbers and suppose $q>5$. Prove that if $q \mid 2^{p}+3^{p}$, then $q>p$. [i]Laurentiu Panaitopol[/i]
Determine all functions $f : R \to R$ such that $f(x) \ge 0$ for all positive reals $x$, $f(0) = 0$ and for all reals $x, y$ $$f(x + y -xy) = f(x) + f(y) - f(xy).$$

Show that the equation $x^7 + y^7 = {1998}^z$ has no solution in positive integers.
Bisectrices $AA_1$ and $BB_1$ of triangle $ABC$ meet in $I$. Segments $A_1I$ and $B_1I$ are the bases of isosceles triangles with opposite vertices $A_2$ and $B_2$ lying on line $AB$. It is known that line $CI$ bisects segment $A_2B_2$. Is it true that triangle $ABC$ is isosceles?
