infinite cluster. For whichever $x$ and $y$ real number, we say $\mid{x-y}\mid$ is between distance of the $x$ and $y$.

For a finite nonempty set $A$ of positive integers, $A =\{a_1, a_2,\dots , a_n\}$, we say the calamitous complement of A is the set of all positive integers $k$ for which there do not exist nonnegative integers $w_1, w_2, \dots , w_n$ with $k = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 +\dots + a_nw_n.$ The calamitous complement of $A$ is denoted $cc(A)$. For example, $cc(\{5, 6, 9\}) = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13\}$.

2. $cc(\{a, b\})$ and $cc(G)$ are both finite sets, and
3. $cc(G) = cc(\{a, b\})\cup \{m\}$ for some $m$ not in $cc(\{a, b\})$.

Consider a sequence of numbers between $0$ and $1$ in which the next number after $x$ is $1 - |1 - 2x|$. ($|x| = x$ if$ x \ge 0$, $|x| = -x$ if $x < 0$.) Prove that
(a) if the first number of the sequence is rational, then the sequence will be periodic (i.e. the terms repeat with a certain cycle length after a certain term in the sequence);
(b) if the sequence is periodic, then the first number is rational.

Let $z_1 = 18 + 83i$, $z_2 = 18 + 39i, $ and $z_3 = 78 + 99i,$ where $i = \sqrt{-1}$. Let $z$ be the unique complex number with the properties that $\frac{z_3 - z_1}{z_2 - z_1} \cdot \frac{z - z_2}{z - z_3}$ is a real number and the imaginary part of $z$ is the greatest possible.

Let $l,m$ be two parallel lines in the plane.
Let $P$ be a fixed point between them.
Let $E,F$ be variable points on $l,m$ such that the angle $EPF$ is fixed to a number like $\alpha$ where $0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}2$.

Show that there is another point (not $P$) such that it sees the segment $EF$ with a fixed angle too.

[hide]I believe that the original problem was for nonnegative real numbers and it was a typo on the version of the exam paper we had but I'm not sure the inequality would hold[/hide]

There are $ 11$ coins, which are indistinguishable by sight. Nevertheless, among them there are $ 10$ geniune coins ( of weight $ 20$ g each) and one counterfeit (of weight $ 21$ g). You have a two-pan scale which is blanced when the weight in the left-hand pan is twice as much as the weight in the right-hand one. Using this scale only, find the false coin by three weighings.
Let $R$ be the set of all possible remainders when a number of the form $2^n$, $n$ a nonnegative integer, is divided by $1000$. Let $S$ be the sum of all elements in $R$. Find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000$.
Given prime number $p$. $a_1,a_2 \cdots a_k$ ($k \geq 3$) are integers not divible by $p$ and have different residuals when divided by $p$. Let
\[ S_n= \{ n \mid 1 \leq n \leq p-1, (na_1)_p < \cdots < (na_k)_p \} \]
Here $(b)_p$ denotes the residual when integer $b$ is divided by $p$. Prove that $|S|< \frac{2p}{k+1}$.
There are $36$ participants at a BdMO event. Some of the participants shook hands with each other. But no two participants shook hands with each other more than once. Each participant recorded the number of handshakes they made. It was found that no two participants with the same number of handshakes made, had shaken hands with each other. Find the maximum possible number of handshakes at the party with proof. (When two participants shake hands with each other, this will be counted as one handshake.)
