Find all positive integers $n$ that can be subtracted from both the numerator and denominator of the fraction $\frac{1234}{6789}$, to get, after the reduction, the fraction of form $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a, b$ are single digit numbers. [i]Proposed by Bogdan Rublov[/i]

Let $D$ and $D'$ be two lines with the equations \[\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-1}{3} = \frac{z-1}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{x+1}{2} = \frac{y+2}{4} = \frac{z-1}{3}.\] Find the length of their common perpendicular.

Let $ABC$ and $A'B'C'$ be similar triangles with different orientation such that their orthocenters coincide. Show that lines $AA′, BB′, CC′ are concurrent or parallel.

There're $n$ students whose names are different from each other. Everyone has $n-1$ envelopes initially with the others' name and address written on them respectively. Everyone also has at least one greeting card with her name signed on it. Everyday precisely a student encloses a greeting card (which can be the one received before) with an envelope (the name on the card and the name on envelope cannot be the same) and post it to the appointed student by a same day delivery. Prove that when no one can post the greeting cards in this way any more: (i) Everyone still has at least one card; (ii) If there exist $k$ students $p_1, p_2, \cdots, p_k$ so that $p_i$ never post a card to $p_{i+1}$, where $i = 1,2, \cdots, k$ and $p_{k+1} = p_1$, then these $k$ students have prepared the same number of greeting cards initially.

In a mathematics contest with ten problems, a student gains 5 points for a correct answer and loses 2 points for an incorrect answer. If Olivia answered every problem and her score was 29, how many correct answers did she have? $\text{(A)}\ 5 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 6 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 7 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 8 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 9$

Alice had picked positive integers $a, b, c$ and then tried to find positive integers $x, y, z$ such that $a = lcm (x, y)$, $b = lcm(x, z)$, $c = lcm(y, z)$. It so happened that such $x, y, z$ existed and were unique. Alice told this fact to Bob and also told him the numbers $a$ and $b$. Prove that Bob can find $c$. (Note: lcm = least common multiple.)
