Define the function $f(x)=\frac{x+2}{2^x}$
$f'(x)=2^{-x}$ $(1-(x+2) ln2)$.
As $x>1$,$f'(x)<2^{-x}(1-ln8)<0$
so this function is decreasing.
Which implies the sequence $a_n$ is increasing.
Now by induction we can show that $a_n \leq 2$ for all $n$.
actually this is the limit.

Re: BdMO 2013 Higher Secondary Problem 8
$A$,$X$,$C$,$Y$ cyclic.And $Z$,$X$,$S$,$Y$ cyclic.So $EZ.ES$=$EX.EY$=$EA.EC$ Let $H$ be the orthocentre.$EA.EC=EH.EB$ But $ES.EZ=EH.EB$ so $H$ is the orthocentre of $\triangle ZBS$ So $ZH$ is perpendicular to $BS$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AC$. $ZH$ is the polar of $B$ with respect to circle $AFD...

That's what stops the good ninja(me).Mis-comprehension of problem statement.
Now i know how the hell u deduce those things.

Re: BdMO National 2012: Secondary 8
I don't know how the hell you deduced $EA=EE"$
Because that implies $\angle E'AE"$ $=90 ^\circ$ which is not true.

Re: Rajshahi MO 2013, Secondary 1
Oi Mahi,that makes use of such a big assumption as for those $4$ points ,the diagonals intersect strictly inside the hull.But we can get $3$ intersection points.Namely for points $A$,$B$,$C$,$D$ ,$AB \cap CD$ ,$AD \cap BC$ and $AC \cap BD$.

Re: palindrome number
Prosenjit,
Your solution is close to brute force.you have to show that 11 must divide them.Eventually in order to be a perfect square 121 must divide them.Which is not possible.
