Re: APMO 2013 Problem 5
(I got the idea to use Harmonic Division in this problem from Nadim Ul Abrar vai after the exam. This problem actually made me learn Harmonic Division) Let $BR\cap \omega=E', CE'\cap AR=S$. Now by the first lemma of Zhao, $AC$ is a symmedian of $\triangle ABD$. Thus $(C,A;D,B)=-1$. Thus $E'(C,A;D,B)...

Re: APMO 2013 Problem 3
(This is a solution I saw later in the math camp.) Let $\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{k}a_i=A,\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{k}b_i=B$. Also let $X_i=X_1+(i-1)d$. Since $X_1,X_2$ are integers, $d=X_2-X_1$ is also an integer. Then, $\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{k}(a_in+b_i+1)>\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{k}\lfloor a_in+...

Re: APMO 2013 Problem 2
It's easy to check that $n$ can't be a perfect square. Then let $n=m^{2}+r$, where $1\leq r\leq 2m$. Then, the expression becomes, $\displaystyle\frac{(m^{2}+r)^{2}+1}{m^{2}+2}=\displaystyle\frac{m^{2}(m^{2}+2)+2(r-1)(m^{2}+2)+r^{2}-4r+4+1}{m^{2}+2}$ $=m^{2}+2(r-1)+\displaystyle\frac{(r-2)^{2}+1}{m^...

China TST 2013 Day 5 Problem 2
The circumcircle of triangle ABC has centre $O$. $P$ is the midpoint of $\widehat{BAC}$ and $QP$ is the diameter. Let $I$ be the incentre of $\triangle ABC$ and let $D$ be the intersection of $PI$ and $BC$. The circumcircle of $\triangle AID$ and the extension of $PA$ meet at $F$. The point $E$ lies...

Re: Cool Number Theory
There are primes as powers,primes as divisors-I can't think of sth else than Fermat' Little Theorem! :twisted: Let us assume,by symmetry,that $p\leq q$. Now $p|(5^p-2^p)$ or $p|(5^q-2^q)$. By Fermat's theorem,if a prime $p$ divides $5^p-2^p$,then $5^p-2^p\equiv 5-2\equiv 3\equiv 0\Rightarrow p=3$. A...

$a\left \lfloor bn \right \rfloor=b\left \lfloor an \right \rfloor$

Re: f(f(n))=3n
(I saw a similar problem in IMO math's functional equation tutorial that asked for the value of $f(2006)$. I have used the same procedure here.) We claim first that, :arrow: $f(2\cdot 3^{n})=3^{n+1}$ :arrow: $f(3^{n})=2\cdot 3^{n}$ for $n=0,1,2,....$ We use induction. For $n=0,f(1)$ can't be $1$ oth...
