(Here we set A2n+1 = A1. For a set X, let |X| denote the number of elements in X.)

2. In triangle ABC, AB = AC. Point D is the midpoint of side BC. Point E lies outside the triangleABC such that CE ⊥ AB and BE = BD. Let M be the midpoint of segment BE. Point F lies onthe minor arc AD of the circumcircle of triangle ABD such that MF ⊥ BE. Prove that ED ⊥ FD.

5. Let f(x) and g(x) be strictly increasing linear functions from R to R such that f(x) is an integer if and onlyif g(x) is an integer. Prove that for any real number x, f(x)− g(x) is an integer.

6. In acute triangle ABC, AB > AC. Let M be the midpoint of side BC. The exterior angle bisector of ∠BACmeets ray BC at P . Points K and F lie on the line PA such that MF ⊥ BC and MK ⊥ PA. Prove thatBC2 = 4PF ·AK.

7. Let n be an integer greater than or equal to 3. For a permutation p = (x1, x2, . . . , xn) of (1, 2, . . . , n), we saythat xj lies in between xi and xk if i < j < k. (For example, in the permutation (1, 3, 2, 4), 3 lies in between 1and 4, and 4 does not lie in between 1 and 2.) Set S = {p1, p2, . . . , pm} consists of (distinct) permutations pi

of (1, 2, . . . , n). Suppose that among every three distinct numbers in {1, 2, . . . , n}, one of these number doesnot lie in between the other two numbers in every permutations pi ∈ S. Determine the maximum value of m.

8. Determine the least odd number a > 5 satisfying the following conditions: There are positive integersm1,m2, n1, n2 such that a = m2

1 + n21, a2 = m2

2 + n22, and m1 − n1 = m2 − n2.
