| 1. Is (1992 - 9129)/90 an integer? |

| 2. The squares in a 9 x 9 grid are numbered from 11 to 99, where the first digit is the row and the second the column. Each square is colored black or white. Squares 44 and 49 are black. Every black square shares an edge with at most one other black square, and each white square shares an edge with at most one other white square. What color is square 99? |

3. Solve:
2x1 - 5x2 + 3x3 ≥ 0 2x2 - 5x3 + 3x4 ≥ 0 ... 2x23 - 5x24 + 3x25 ≥ 0 2x24 - 5x25 + 3x1 ≥ 0 2x25 - 5x1 + 3x2 ≥ 0 |
|
| 4. Find all positive integers a, b, c such that a < b, a < 4c, and b c3 ≤ a c3 + b. |
|
| 5. A triangle has sides a, b, c with longest side c, and circumradius R. Show that if a2 + b2 = 2cR, then the triangle is right-angled. | |
| 6. (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) lie on a straight line and on the curve y2 = x3. Show that x1/y1 + x2/y2 + x3/y3 = 0. |
To avoid possible copyright problems, I have changed the wording, but not the substance, of the problems.
