Solve equation $$x^2-\sqrt{a-x}=a$$ where $x$ is real number and $a$ is real parameter
The numbers $1, 2,..., 2020$ are written on the blackboard. Venus and Serena play the following game. First, Venus connects by a line segment two numbers such that one of them divides the other. Then Serena connects by a line segment two numbers which has not been connected and such that one of them divides the other. Then Venus again and they continue until there is a triangle with one vertex in $2020$, i.e. $2020$ is connected to two numbers that are connected with each other. The girl that has drawn the last line segment (completed the triangle) is the winner. Which of the girls has a winning strategy? (Tomáš Bárta, Czech Republic)
Two cyclists leave simultaneously a point $P$ in a circular runway with constant velocities $v_1, v_2 (v_1 > v_2)$ and in the same sense. A pedestrian leaves $P$ at the same time, moving with velocity $v_3 = \frac{v_1+v_2}{12}$ . If the pedestrian and the cyclists move in opposite directions, the pedestrian meets the second cyclist $91$ seconds after he meets the first. If the pedestrian moves in the same direction as the cyclists, the first cyclist overtakes him $187$ seconds before the second does. Find the point where the first cyclist overtakes the second cyclist the first time.
A positive integer $m$ is called a [i]beautiful [/i] integer if that there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $m = n^2+ n + 1$. Prove that there are infinitely many [i]beautiful [/i] integers with square factors, and the square factors of different beautiful integers are relative prime.
A zerg player can produce one zergling every minute and a protoss player can produce one zealot every $2.1$ minutes. Both players begin building their respective units immediately from the beginning of the game. In a ght, a zergling army overpowers a zealot army if the ratio of zerglings to zealots is more than $3$. What is the total amount of time (in minutes) during the game such that at that time the zergling army would overpower the zealot army?
The edges of a graph with $2n$ vertices ($n \ge 4$) are colored in blue and red such that there is no blue triangle and there is no red complete subgraph with $n$ vertices. Find the least possible number of blue edges.
In triangle $ABC, AB = AC$. A line is drawn through $A$ parallel to $BC$. Outside triangle $ABC$, a circle is drawn tangent to this line, to the line $BC$, to $AB$ and to the incircle of $ABC$. If the radius of this circle is $1$ , determine the inradius of $ABC$. (RK Gordin)
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Let $a_1$, $a_2$, $\ldots\,$, $a_n$ be real numbers such that $-1 \le a_i \le 1$ (for all $1 \le i \le n$).
