2. Given n > 2, find the largest h and the smallest H such that h < x1/(x1 + x2) + x2/(x2 + x3) + ... + xn/(xn + x1) < H for all positive real x1, x2, ... , xn. | |
3. k numbers are chosen at random from the set {1, 2, ... , 100}. For what values of k is the probability ½ that the sum of the chosen numbers is even? |
The original problems are in Hungarian. Many thanks to Péter Dombi for the translation.
