99th Kürschák Competition 1999

------
1.  Let e(k) be the number of positive even divisors of k, and let o(k) be the number of positive odd divisors of k. Show that the difference between e(1) + e(2) + ... + e(n) and o(1) + o(2) + ... + o(n) does not exceed n.
2.  ABC is an arbitrary triangle. Construct an interior point P such that if A' is the foot of the perpendicular from P to BC, and similarly for B' and C', then the centroid of A'B'C' is P.
3.  Prove that every set of integers with more than 2k members has a subset B with k+2 members such that any two non-empty subsets of B with the same number of members have different sums.

The original problems are in Hungarian. Many thanks to Péter Dombi for the translation.
