XXIV OM - I - Problem 11 Prove that if the center of the sphere circumscribed around a tetrahedron coincides with the center of the sphere inscribed in this tetrahedron, then the faces of this tetrahedron are congruent.
Let point $O$ be the center of the inscribed and circumscribed spheres of the tetrahedron $ABCD$. Denote by $r$ and $R$ the radii of these spheres, respectively. If $O$ is the point of tangency of the inscribed sphere with one of the faces, and $P$ is one of the vertices of this face, then applying the Pythagorean theo...

LVI OM - I - Problem 8 On a circle, there are $ n $ lamps; each can be turned on or off. We perform a series of moves; in each move, we select $ k $ consecutive lamps and change their state: we turn off the ones that are on, and turn on the ones that are off (the number $ k $ does not change during this process). Init...
First, let's assume that $k$ is an even number. We will prove by induction that after each change of state of $k$ consecutive lamps, an even number of lamps are lit. Let $x_n$ denote the number of lamps that are on after the $n$-th move. Then $x_1 = k$. Assume that $x_{n-1}$ is an even number. If, by performing the $n$...

XLIX OM - I - Problem 10 Medians $ AD $, $ BE $, $ CF $ of triangle $ ABC $ intersect at point $ G $. Circles can be circumscribed around quadrilaterals $ AFGE $ and $ BDGF $. Prove that triangle $ ABC $ is equilateral.
Let's denote the measures of angles $CAB$, $ABC$, $BCA$ by $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ respectively. Points $F$ and $D$ are the midpoints of sides $AB$ and $BC$, so $DF \parallel CA$, and therefore $|\measuredangle BDF| = \gamma$ (Figure 5). The opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral $AFGE$ sum up to $180^\circ$. ...

XXII OM - I - Problem 11 We toss a coin $2n$ times. Let $p_n$ denote the probability that we will get a series of length $r > n$. Prove that $\lim p_n = 0$.
Elementary events are all $2n$-term sequences with terms being heads or tails; all of them are equally probable and there are $2^{2n}$ of them. Let $A_n$ be the event that we get a series of length at least $n$. Consider the following three-stage procedure: 1) Selecting some $n$ consecutive positions out of $2n$; 2) Pl...

LIV OM - II - Task 1 Prove that there exists an integer $ n > 2003 $, such that in the sequence every term is a divisor of all subsequent terms.
The number $ {n \choose {k+1}} $ is divisible by $ {n \choose k}, $ if and only if the number is an integer. Therefore, the number $ n $ satisfies the conditions of the problem if and only if the number $ n +1 $ is divisible by each of the numbers $ 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots, 2003 $. Such a number is, for example, $ n = 20...

We know (see problem 5) that for any positive numbers $ a $ and $ b $ and any natural number $ m $, the following inequality holds: We will apply this inequality to the sum appearing on the left side of inequality (1). We combine the terms of this sum in pairs: the first with the last, the second with the second-to-la...

Let's first consider the special case when all numbers $x_1, \ldots, x_n$, except for at most one, are equal to $0$ or $1$. Since $x_1 + \ldots + x_n = m + r$, where $m$ is an integer and $0 \leq r < 1$, then (in this case) exactly $m$ of the numbers $x_i$ are ones, one equals $r$, and the rest are zeros. Thus, $x_i^2 ...
