Some regular polygons are inscribed in a circle. Fedir turned some of them, so all polygons have a common vertice. Prove that the number of vertices did not increase.

We call the sequence $d_1,....,d_n$ of natural numbers, not necessarily distinct, [b]covering[/b] if there exists arithmetic progressions like $c_1+kd_1$,....,$c_n+kd_n$ such that every natural number has come in at least one of them. We call this sequence [b]short[/b] if we can not delete any of the $d_1,....,d_n$ such that the resulting sequence be still covering. [b]a)[/b] Suppose that $d_1,....,d_n$ is a short covering sequence and suppose that we've covered all the natural numbers with arithmetic progressions $a_1+kd_1,.....,a_n+kd_n$, and suppose that $p$ is a prime number that $p$ divides $d_1,....,d_k$ but it does not divide $d_{k+1},....,d_n$. Prove that the remainders of $a_1,....,a_k$ modulo $p$ contains all the numbers $0,1,.....,p-1$. [b]b)[/b] Write anything you can about covering sequences and short covering sequences in the case that each of $d_1,....,d_n$ has only one prime divisor. [i]proposed by Ali Khezeli[/i]

An arbitrary prime $ p$ is given. If an integer sequence $ (n_1 , n_2 , \cdots , n_k )$ satisfying the conditions - For all $ i\equal{} 1, 2, \cdots , k$, $ n_i \geq \frac{p\plus{}1}{2}$ - For all $ i\equal{} 1, 2, \cdots , k$, $ p^{n_i} \minus{} 1$ is divisible by $ n_{i\plus{}1}$, and $ \frac{p^{n_i} \minus{} 1}{n_{i\plus{}1}}$ is coprime to $ n_{i\plus{}1}$. Let $ n_{k\plus{}1} \equal{} n_1$. exists not for $ k\equal{}1$, but exists for some $ k \geq 2$, then call the prime a good prime. Prove that a prime is good iff it is not $ 2$.

The positive sequence $\{a_n\}$ satisfies:$a_1=1+\sqrt 2$ and $(a_n-a_{n-1})(a_n+a_{n-1}-2\sqrt n)=2(n\geq 2).$ (1)Find the general formula of $\{a_n\}$; (2)Find the set of all the positive integers $n$ so that $\lfloor a_n\rfloor=2022$.

To every natural number $k, k \geq 2$, there corresponds a sequence $a_n(k)$ according to the following rule: \[a_0 = k, \qquad a_n = \tau(a_{n-1}) \quad \forall n \geq 1,\] in which $\tau(a)$ is the number of different divisors of $a$. Find all $k$ for which the sequence $a_n(k)$ does not contain the square of an integer.

Given is a positive integer $k$. There are $n$ points chosen on a line, such the distance between any two adjacent points is the same. The points are colored in $k$ colors. For each pair of monochromatic points such that there are no points of the same color between them, we record the distance between these two points. If all distances are distinct, find the largest possible $n$.

Each square on a $ n \times n$ board, with $n \ge 3$, is colored with one of $ 8$ colors. For what values of $n$ it can be said that some of these figures included in the board, does it contain two squares of the same color.
