[ 2011 | MEMO ]
Initially, only the integer 44 is written on a board. An integer a on the board can be re- placed with four pairwise different integers a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4 such that the arithmetic mean \frac 14 (a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4) of the four new integers is equal to the number a. In a step we simultaneously replace all the integers on the board in the above way. After 30 steps we end up with n = 4^{30} integers b_1, b2,\ldots, b_n on the board. Prove that \frac{b_1^2 + b_2^2+b_3^2+\cdots+b_n^2}{n}\geq 2011.
Let n \geq 3 be an integer. John and Mary play the following game: First John labels the sides of a regular n-gon with the numbers 1, 2,\ldots, n in whatever order he wants, using each number exactly once. Then Mary divides this n-gon into triangles by drawing n-3 diagonals which do not intersect each other inside the n-gon. All these diagonals are labeled with number 1. Into each of the triangles the product of the numbers on its sides is written. Let S be the sum of those n - 2 products.

Determine the value of S if Mary wants the number S to be as small as possible and John wants S to be as large as possible and if they both make the best possible choices.
In a plane the circles \mathcal K_1 and \mathcal K_2 with centers I_1 and I_2, respectively, intersect in two points A and B. Assume that \angle I_1AI_2 is obtuse. The tangent to \mathcal K_1 in A intersects \mathcal K_2 again in C and the tangent to \mathcal K_2 in A intersects \mathcal K_1 again in D. Let \mathcal K_3 be the circumcircle of the triangle BCD. Let E be the midpoint of that arc CD of \mathcal K_3 that contains B. The lines AC and AD intersect \mathcal K_3 again in K and L, respectively. Prove that the line AE is perpendicular to KL.
Let k and m, with k > m, be positive integers such that the number km(k^2 - m^2) is divisible by k^3 - m^3. Prove that (k - m)^3 > 3km.
Find all functions f \colon \mathbb R \to \mathbb R such that the equality y^2f(x) + x^2f(y) + xy = xyf(x + y) + x^2 + y^2 holds for all x, y \in \Bbb R, where \Bbb R is the set of real numbers.
Let a, b, c be positive real numbers such that \frac{a}{1+a}+\frac{b}{1+b}+\frac{c}{1+c}=2\text{.}
Prove that \frac{\sqrt a + \sqrt b+\sqrt c}{2} \geq \frac{1}{\sqrt a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt b}+\frac{1}{\sqrt c}\text{.}
For an integer n \geq 3, let \mathcal M be the set \{(x, y) | x, y \in \mathbb Z, 1 \leq  x \leq  n, 1 \leq  y \leq  n\} of points in the plane.

What is the maximum possible number of points in a subset S \subseteq \mathcal M which does not contain three distinct points being the vertices of a right triangle?
Let n \geq 3 be an integer. At a MEMO-like competition, there are 3n participants, there are n languages spoken, and each participant speaks exactly three different languages. Prove that at least \left\lceil\frac{2n}{9}\right\rceil of the spoken languages can be chosen in such a way that no participant speaks more than two of the chosen languages.

Note. \lceil x\rceil is the smallest integer which is greater than or equal to x.
Let ABCDE be a convex pentagon with all five sides equal in length. The diagonals AD and EC meet in S with \angle ASE = 60^\circ. Prove that ABCDE has a pair of parallel sides.
Let ABC be an acute triangle. Denote by B_0 and C_0 the feet of the altitudes from vertices B and C, respectively. Let X be a point inside the triangle ABC such that the line BX is tangent to the circumcircle of the triangle AXC_0 and the line CX is tangent to the circumcircle of the triangle AXB_0. Show that the line AX is perpendicular to BC.
Let A and B be disjoint nonempty sets with A \cup  B = \{1, 2,3, \ldots, 10\}. Show that there exist elements a \in A and b \in B such that the number a^3 + ab^2 + b^3 is divisible by 11.
We call a positive integer n amazing if there exist positive integers a, b, c such that the equality n = (b, c)(a, bc) + (c, a)(b, ca) + (a, b)(c, ab) holds. Prove that there exist 2011 consecutive positive integers which are amazing.

Note. By (m, n) we denote the greatest common divisor of positive integers m and n.
