Prove that for $0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$, $$\sin x + \tan x > 2x$$

For each integer $n \ge 1$ define $a_n = \left[\frac{n}{\left[\sqrt{n}\right]}\right]$ (where $[x]$ denoted the largest integer not exceeding $x$, for any real number $x$). Find the number of all $n$ in the set $\{1, 2, 3, \cdots , 2010\}$ for which $a_n > a_{n+1}$

The values of the polynomial $P(x) = 2x^3-30x^2+cx$ for any three consecutive integers are also three consecutive integers. Find these values.

A marker is placed at the origin of an integer lattice. Calvin and Hobbes play the following game. Calvin starts the game and each of them takes turns alternatively. At each turn, one can choose two (not necessarily distinct) integers $a, b$, neither of which was chosen earlier by any player and move the marker by $a$ units in the horizontal direction and $b$ units in the vertical direction. Hobbes wins if the marker is back at the origin any time after the first turn. Prove or disprove that Calvin can prevent Hobbes from winning. Note: A move in the horizontal direction by a positive quantity will be towards the right, and by a negative quantity will be towards the left (and similar directions in the vertical case as well).

1. (a) For which positive integers n, does 2n divide the sum of the first n positive integers? (b) Determine, with proof, those positive integers n (if any) which have the property that 2n + 1 divides the sum of the first n positive integers.

Let be given a semicircle with diameter $AB$ and center $O$, and a line intersecting the semicircle at $C$ and $D$ and the line $AB$ at $M$ ($MB < MA$, $MD < MC$). The circumcircles of the triangles $AOC$ and $DOB$ meet again at $L$. Prove that $\angle MKO$ is right. [i]L. Kuptsov[/i]

For all real numbers $x,y,z$ such that $-2\leq x,y,z \leq 2$ and $x^2+y^2+z^2+xyz = 4$, determine the least real number $K$ satisfying \[\dfrac{z(xz+yz+y)}{xy+y^2+z^2+1} \leq K.\]

Misha and Sahsa play a game on a $100\times 100$ chessboard. First, Sasha places $50$ kings on the board, and Misha places a rook, and then they move in turns, as following (Sasha begins): At his move, Sasha moves each of the kings one square in any direction, and Misha can move the rook on the horizontal or vertical any number of squares. The kings cannot be captured or stepped over. Sasha's purpose is to capture the rook, and Misha's is to avoid capture. Is there a winning strategy available for Sasha?

On each non-boundary unit segment of an $8\times 8$ chessboard, we write the number of dissections of the board into dominoes in which this segment lies on the border of a domino. What is the last digit of the sum of all the written numbers?

Let $ ABC $ be an acute triangle having $ AB<AC, $ let $ M $ be the midpoint of the segment $ BC, D$ be a point on the segment $ AM, E $ be a point on the segment $ BD $ and $ F $ on the line $ AB $ such that $ EF $ is parallel to $ BC, $ and such that $ AE $ and $ DF $ pass through the orthocenter of $ ABC. $ Prove that the interior bisectors of $ \angle BAC $ and $ \angle BDC, $ together with $ BC $ are concurrent.

Denote $S$ as the subset of $\{1,2,3,\dots,1000\}$ with the property that none of the sums of two different elements in $S$ is in $S$. Find the maximum number of elements in $S$.

Let $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ be arbitrary polynomials with real coefficients, and let $d$ be the degree of $P(x)$. Assume that $P(x)$ is not the zero polynomial. Prove that there exist polynomials $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ such that: (i) both $A$ and $B$ have degree at most $d/2$ (ii) at most one of $A$ and $B$ is the zero polynomial. (iii) $\frac{A(x)+Q(x)B(x)}{P(x)}$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. That is, there is some polynomial $C(x)$ with real coefficients such that $A(x)+Q(x)B(x)=P(x)C(x)$.

Does there exist a triangle, whose side is equal to some of its altitudes, another side is equal to some of its bisectors, and the third is equal to some of its medians?

Assume that the complex numbers $a_1 , a_2, \ldots$ are all different from $0$, and that $|a_r - a_s| >1$ for $r\ne s.$ Show that the series $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{a_{n}^{3}}$$ converges.

Let be a group of order $ 2002 $ having the property that the application $ x\mapsto x^4 $ is and endomorphism of it. Show that this group is cyclic.

Let a triangle $ABC$ satisfy $AC = BC$; in other words, let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with base $AB$. Let $P$ be a point inside the triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle PAB = \angle PBC$. Denote by $M$ the midpoint of the segment $AB$. Show that $\angle APM + \angle BPC = 180^{\circ}$.
