Day 1

1 x, y ∈ R, solve the system of equations:

(
(x − y)(x3 + y 3 ) = 7
(x + y)(x3 − y 3 ) = 3

2 The convex quadrilateral ABCD is given, AB < BC and AD < CD. P, Q are points on BC
and CD respectively such that P B = AB and QD = AD. M is midpoint of P Q. We assume
that ∠BM D = 90◦ , prove that ABCD is cyclic.

3 Prove that ∀x1 , x2 , . . . , x2011 , y1 , y2 , . . . , y2011 ∈ Z+ product:

(2x21 + 3y12 )(2x22 + 3y22 ) . . . (2x22011 + 3y2011

2
)

is not a perfect square.

Day 2

1 Points A, B, C, D, E, F lie in that order on semicircle centered at O, we assume that AD =

BE = CF . G is a common point of BE and AD, H is a common point of BE and CD.
Prove that:
∠AOC = 2∠GOH.

2 ∀n ∈ Z+ − {1, 2} find the maximal length of a sequence with elements from a set {1, 2, . . . , n},
such that any two consecutive elements of this sequence are different and after removing all
elements except for the four we do not receive a sequence in form x, y, x, y (x 6= y).

3 There are two given different polynomials P (x), Q(x) with real coefficients such that P (Q(x)) =
Q(P (x)). Prove that ∀n ∈ Z+ polynomial:

P (P (. . . P (P (x)) . . .)) − Q(Q(. . . Q(Q(x)) . . .))

| {z } | {z }
n n

is divisible by P (x) − Q(x).
