Let $\mathbb{Z}$ be the set of all integers. Find all pairs of integers $(a,b)$ for which there exist functions $f \colon \mathbb{Z}\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ and $g \colon \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ satisfying \[ f(g(x))=x+a \quad\text{and}\quad g(f(x))=x+b \] for all integers $x$.

Sitting at a desk, Alice writes a nonnegative integer $N$ on a piece of paper, with $N \le 10^{10}$. Interestingly, Celia, sitting opposite Alice at the desk, is able to properly read the number upside-down and gets the same number $N$, without any leading zeros. (Note that the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 will not be read properly when turned upside-down.) Find the number of possible values of $N$. [i]Proposed by Yannick Yao[/i]

Let $A$ be the set $A = \{ 1,2, \ldots, n\}$. Determine the maximum number of elements of a subset $B\subset A$ such that for all elements $x,y$ from $B$, $x+y$ cannot be divisible by $x-y$. [i]Mircea Lascu, Dorel Mihet[/i]

Let $a_1=2$ and, for every positive integer $n$, let $a_{n+1}$ be the smallest integer strictly greater than $a_n$ that has more positive divisors than $a_n$. Prove that $2a_{n+1}=3a_n$ only for finitely many indicies $n$. [i] Proposed by Ilija Jovčevski, North Macedonia[/i]

It is well-known that if a quadrilateral has the circumcircle and the incircle with the same centre then it is a square. Is the similar statement true in 3 dimensions: namely, if a cuboid is inscribed into a sphere and circumscribed around a sphere and the centres of the spheres coincide, does it imply that the cuboid is a cube? (A cuboid is a polyhedron with 6 quadrilateral faces such that each vertex belongs to $3$ edges.) [i]($10$ points)[/i]

Let $S$ be a square with sides length $100$. Let $L$ be a path within $S$ which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments $A_0A_1,A_1A_2,A_2A_3,\ldots,A_{n-1}A_n$ with $A_0=A_n$. Suppose that for every point $P$ on the boundary of $S$ there is a point of $L$ at a distance from $P$ no greater than $\frac {1} {2}$. Prove that there are two points $X$ and $Y$ of $L$ such that the distance between $X$ and $Y$ is not greater than $1$ and the length of the part of $L$ which lies between $X$ and $Y$ is not smaller than $198$.

$M$ and $N$ are the midpoints of the sides $AB$ and $AC$ of a triangle ABC respectively. $P$ and $Q$ are points on the sides $AB$ and $AC$ respectively such that the bisector of the angle $ACB$ also bisects the angle $MCP$, and the bisector of the angle $ABC$ also bisects the angle $NBQ$. If $AP = AQ$, does it follow that $ABC$ is isosceles? (V Senderov)

The numbers $1$, $2$, $3$, and $4$ are randomly arranged in a $2$ by $2$ grid with one number in each cell. Find the probability the sum of two numbers in the top row of the grid is even. [i]Proposed by Muztaba Syed and Derek Zhao[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution. [/i]$\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$ Pick a number for the top-left. There is one number that makes the sum even no matter what we pick. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$.[/hide]

Let $A_n$ be the number of arranged n-tuples of natural numbers $(a_1,a_2…a_n)$, such that $\frac{1}{a_1} +\frac{1}{a_2} +...+\frac{1}{a_n} =1$. Find the parity of $A_{68}$.

Starting with an arbitrary pair (a,b) of vectors on the plane, we are allowed to perform the operations of the following two types: (1) To replace $(a,b)$ with $(a+2kb,b)$ for an arbitrary integer $k \ne 0$; (2) To replace $(a,b)$ with $(a,b+2ka)$ for an arbitrary integer $ k \ne 0$. However, we must change the type of operetion in any step. (a) Is it possible to obtain $((1,0), (2,1))$ from $((1,0), (0,1))$, if the first operation is of the type (1)? (b) Find all pairs of vectors that can be obtained from $((1,0), (0,1))$ (the type of first operation can be selected arbitrarily).

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with center $O$ with $AB > CD$ and $BC > AD$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoint of sides $AD$ and $BC$, respectively, and let $X$ and $Y$ be on $AB$ and $CD$, respectively, such that $AX \cdot CY = BX \cdot DY = 20000$, and $AX \le CY$. Let lines $AD$ and $BC$ hit at $P$, and let lines $AB$ and $CD$ hit at $Q$. The circumcircles of $\triangle MNP$ and $\triangle XYQ$ hit at a point $R$ that is on the opposite side of $CD$ as $O$. Let $R_1$ be the midpoint of $PQ$ and $B$, $D$, and $R$ be collinear. Let $O_1$ be the circumcenter of $\triangle BPQ$. Let the lines $BO_1$ and $DR_1$ intersect at a point $I$. If $BP \cdot BQ = 823875$, $AB=429$, and $BC=495$, then $IR=\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers, $b$ is not divisible by the square of a prime, and $\gcd(a,c) = 1$. Find the value of $a+b+c$. [i]Proposed by Kevin Zhao[/i]
