A1. The function f(n) is defined on the positive integers and takes non-negative integer values. f(2) = 0, f(3) > 0, f(9999) = 3333 and for all m, n:
f(m+n) - f(m) - f(n) = 0 or 1. Determine f(1982). |

A3. Consider infinite sequences {xn} of positive reals such that x0 = 1 and x0 ≥ x1 ≥ x2 ≥ ... .
(a) Prove that for every such sequence there is an n ≥ 1 such that: x02/x1 + x12/x2 + ... + xn-12/xn ≥ 3.999. (b) Find such a sequence for which: x02/x1 + x12/x2 + ... + xn-12/xn < 4 for all n. |

B1. Prove that if n is a positive integer such that the equation
x3 - 3xy2 + y3 = n has a solution in integers x, y, then it has at least three such solutions. Show that the equation has no solutions in integers for n = 2891. |

B2. The diagonals AC and CE of the regular hexagon ABCDEF are divided by inner points M and N respectively, so that:
AM/AC = CN/CE = r. Determine r if B, M and N are collinear. |

| B3. Let S be a square with sides length 100. Let L be a path within S which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments A0A1, A1A2, A2A3, ... , An-1An with A0 = An. Suppose that for every point P on the boundary of S there is a point of L at a distance from P no greater than 1/2. Prove that there are two points X and Y of L such that the distance between X and Y is not greater than 1 and the length of the part of L which lies between X and Y is not smaller than 198. |
