%V0 Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients. We denote $\deg(P)$ its degree which is $\geq 1.$ Let $n(P)$ be the number of all the integers $k$ for which we have $(P(k))^{2}=1.$ Prove that $n(P)- \deg(P) \leq 2.$

%V0 Let $a,b,c,d$ be odd integers such that $0<a<b<c<d$ and $ad=bc$. Prove that if $a+d=2^k$ and $b+c=2^m$ for some integers $k$ and $m$, then $a=1$.

%V0 Let $n\ge2$ be an integer. Prove that if $k^2+k+n$ is prime for all integers $k$ such that $0\le k\le\sqrt{n\over3}$, then $k^2+k+n$ is prime for all integers $k$ such that $0\le k\le n-2$.(IMO Problem 6) Original Formulation Let $f(x) = x^2 + x + p$, $p \in \mathbb N.$ Prove that if the numbers $f(0), f(1), \cdots , f(\sqrt{p\over 3} )$ are primes, then all the numbers $f(0), f(1), \cdots , f(p - 2)$ are primes. Proposed by Soviet Union.

%V0 Let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers such that $a \cdot b + 1$ divides $a^{2} + b^{2}$. Show that $\frac {a^{2} + b^{2}}{a \cdot b + 1}$ is a perfect square.

%V0 For each positive integer $\,n,\;S(n)\,$ is defined to be the greatest integer such that, for every positive integer $\,k\leq S(n),\;n^{2}\,$ can be written as the sum of $\,k\,$ positive squares. a.) Prove that $\,S(n)\leq n^{2}-14\,$ for each $\,n\geq 4$. b.) Find an integer $\,n\,$ such that $\,S(n)=n^{2}-14$. c.) Prove that there are infintely many integers $\,n\,$ such that $S(n)=n^{2}-14.$

%V0 For each positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of ways of representing $n$ as a sum of powers of 2 with nonnegative integer exponents. Representations which differ only in the ordering of their summands are considered to be the same. For instance, $f(4) = 4$, because the number 4 can be represented in the following four ways: 4; 2+2; 2+1+1; 1+1+1+1. Prove that, for any integer $n \geq 3$ we have $2^{\frac {n^2}{4}} < f(2^n) < 2^{\frac {n^2}2}$.
