Find the least positive integer $n$ satisfying the following statement: for eash pair of positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that $36$ divides $a+b$ and $n$ divides $ab$ it follows that $36$ divides both $a$ and $b$.

Find the number of ordered pairs $(a, b)$ of positive integers that are solutions of the following equation: \[a^2 + b^2 = ab(a+b).\]

The figure shows a rectangle, its circumscribed circle and four semicircles, which have the rectangle’s sides as diameters. Prove that the combined area of the four dark gray crescentshaped regions is equal to the area of the light gray rectangle.

Let $ABCDE$ be a convex pentagon such that \begin{align*} &AB+BC+CD+DE+EA=65 \text{ and} \\ &AC+CE+EB+BD+DA=72. \end{align*} Compute the perimeter of the convex pentagon whose vertices are the midpoints of the sides of $ABCDE.$

We are given an equilateral triangle ABC with the length of its side equal to $1$. There are $n-1$ points on each side of the triangle $ABC$ that equally divide the side into $n$ segments. We draw all possible lines that pass through any two of all those $3(n-1)$ points such that they are parallel to one of three sides of triangle $ABC$. All such lines divide triangle $ABC$ into some lesser triangles whose vertices are called [i]nodes[/i]. We assign a real number for each [i]node[/i] such that the following conditions are satisfied: (I) real numbers $a,b,c$ are assigned to $A,B,C$ respectively; (II) for any rhombus that is consisted of two lesser triangles that share a common side, the sum of the numbers of vertices on its one diagonal is equal to that of vertices on the other diagonal. 1) Find the minimum distance between the [i]node[/i] with the maximal number to the [i]node[/i] with the minimal number; 2) Denote by $S$ the sum of the numbers of all [i]nodes[/i], find $S$.

Suppose $f(x, y)$ is a function that takes in two integers and outputs a real number, such that it satisfies $$f(x, y) = \frac{f(x, y + 1) + f(x, y - 1)}{2}$$ $$f(x, y) = \frac{f(x + 1, y) + f(x - 1, y)}{2}$$ What is the minimum number of pairs $(x, y)$ we need to evaluate to be able to uniquely determine $f$?

A circle passing through the midpoint $M$ of the side $BC$ and the vertex $A$ of the triangle $ABC$ intersects the segments $AB$ and $AC$ for the second time in the points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Prove that if $\angle BAC=60^{\circ}$, then $AP+AQ+PQ<AB+AC+\frac{1}{2} BC$.

An athlete's target heart rate, in beats per minute, is $80\%$ of the theoretical maximum heart rate. The maximum heart rate is found by subtracting the athlete's age, in years, from $220$. To the nearest whole number, what is the target heart rate of an athlete who is $26$ years old? $\textbf{(A)}\ 134\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 155 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 176\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 194\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 243$

Let $A$ be a finite set of positive integers, and for each positive integer $n$ we define \[S_n = \{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n \;\vert\; x_i \in A \text{ for } i = 1, 2, \dots, n\}\] That is, $S_n$ is the set of all positive integers which can be expressed as sum of exactly $n$ elements of $A$, not necessarily different. Prove that there exist positive integers $N$ and $k$ such that $$\left\vert S_{n + 1} \right\vert = \left\vert S_n \right\vert + k \text{ for all } n\geq N.$$ [i]Proposed by Ariel García[/i]

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that $\vartriangle ABC$ is an equilateral triangle. Let $P$ be a point inside the quadrilateral such that $\vartriangle APD$ is an equilateral triangle and $\angle PCD = 30^o$. Suppose $CP = 6$ and $CD = 8$. The area of the triangle formed by $P$, the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$, and the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ can be expressed in simplest radical form as $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ , where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are positive integers with $gcd(a, b, d) = 1$ and with $c$ not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a + b + c + d$.

Given that $20N^2$ is a divisor of $11!,$ what is the greatest possible integer value of $N?$

$p$ is a prime number that is greater than $2$. Let $\{ a_{n}\}$ be a sequence such that $ na_{n+1}= (n+1) a_{n}-\left( \frac{p}{2}\right)^{4}$. Show that if $a_{1}=5$, the $16 \mid a_{81}$.

On each of the 2006 cards a natural number is written. Cards are placed arbitrarily in a row. 2 players take in turns a card from any end of the row until all the cards are taken. After that each player calculates sum of the numbers written of his cards. If the sum of the first player is not less then the sum of the second one then the first player wins. Show that there's a winning strategy for the first player.

Note that $k\ge 1$ for an odd natural number $$k! ! = k \cdot (k - 2) \cdot ... \cdot 1.$$ Prove that $2^n$ divides $(2^n -1)!! -1$ for all $n \ge 3$.

Let there exist a configuration of [i]exactly[/i] 1 black king, $n$ black chess pieces (each of which can be a pawn, knight, bishop, rook, or queen), and a white [i]anti-king[/i] on a standard 8x8 board in which the white [i]anti-king[/i] is not under attack, but will be if it is moved. Compute the minimal value of $n$. *An [i]anti-king[/i] can move to any square is [b]not[/b] 1 square vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. It can also capture undefended pieces.
