  1. Let ABC be a triangle. Let D, E, F be points respectively on the segments BC, CA, AB such that AD, BE, CF concur at the point K. Suppose \frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{BF}{FA} and ∠ADB = ∠AFC. Prove that ∠ ABE = ∠ CAD.
  2. Let (a_1a_2a_3.....a_{2011}) be a permutation (that is arrangement) of the numbers 1, 2, 3 . . . , 2011. Show that there exist two numbers j, k. such that 1 \le j < k \le 2011 and |a_{j}-j|=|a_{k}-k|.
  3. A natural number n is chosen strictly between two consecutive perfect square. The smaller of these two squares is obtained by subtracting k from n and the larger one is obtained by adding l to n. Prove that n-kl is a perfect square.
  4. Consider a 20-sided convex polygon K, with vertice A_1,A_2,....,A_{20} in that order. Find the number of ways in which three sides of  K can be chosen so that every pair among them has at least two sides of  K between them. (For example A_1A_2, A_4A_5, A_{11}A_{12} is an admissible triple while A_1A_2, A_4A_5, A_{19}A_{20} is not).
  5. Let ABC be a triangle and let BB_1,CC_1 be respectively the bisectors of ∠ B, ∠ C with B_1 on AC and C_1 on AB. Let E, F be the feet of perpendiculars drawn from A onto BB_1,CC_1 respectively. Suppose D is the point at which the in circle of  ABC touches AB. Prove that  AD = EF.
  6. Find all pairs (x, y) of real numbers such that 16^{x^2+y}+16^{x+y^2}=1.
