Re: Hard Diophantine (maybe)
IDK how it can be done with Fermat's last Theorem , allow me to use Catalan's conjecture instead. Let me state this theorem (it's proven, but the name stayed like this anyway!), Catalan's conjecture : If $x,y,m,n$ are positive integers where $m\geq2, n\geq2$, and they satisfies \[x^m-y^n=1\] then \(...

Re: BdMO National 2021 Primary Problem 5
In decimal system, we can write a number $n$ as \[n=a_0+a_1\cdot10+a_2\cdot10^2+\cdots+a_k\cdot10^k\] where $a_0,a_1,a_2,\cdots a_k\in\{0,1,2,\cdots,9\}$ and $a_k\neq0$. Then \[ \begin{equation} \begin{split} g(n)&=a_0+a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_k \\ \therefore n-g(n)&=(10^0-1)a_0+(10^1-1)a_1+(10^2-1)a_2+\cdo...

Re: Problem - 01 - National Math Camp 2021 Mock Exam - "Not as bad as it looks"
Let $a_1 \leq a_2 \leq a_3 \cdots \leq a_n$ be a sequence of positive integers. For $1 \leq i \leq a_n$, let $b_i$ be the number of terms in the sequence that are not smaller than $i$. It is given that, $b_1 > b_2 > \cdots > b_{a_n}$, for each $1 \leq i \leq a_n, b_i$ is a power of three, and $b_1 ...

Problem - 04 - National Math Camp 2021 Mock Exam - "Angle bisector, spiral similarity etc."
Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB < AC$. Let $D$ be a point on $AC$ such that $CD = BD$. The line parallel to $BC$ through $D$ meet the minor arc $AB$ of $\odot ABC$ at $E$. Let $I, J$ be the incenters of $\triangle ADE$ and $\triangle BDE$ respectively. Prove that the internal angle bisector of...

There are at least 2016 fixed points of the function
Let $S=\{0,1,2,3,\cdots,10^{2017}+2005\}$. Let $f:S\to S$ be a function that satisfies \[f^{2017}(x)=\underbrace{f\circ f\circ f\circ\cdots\circ f(x)}_{2017}=x\]
Prove that there exists $T\subseteq S$ of $2016$ elements such that $\forall x\in T, f(x)=x$.
