1) The function f(n) takes on non-negative integer values and satisfies the property f(m+n)-f(m)-f(n)=0 or 1. It is given that f(2)=0, f(3)>0, and f(9999)=3333. The problem is to determine the value of f(1982). 2) For a non-isosceles triangle ABC, if the lines from the midpoints of the sides to the points where the incircle touches the sides are reflected in the interior angle bisectors, these three reflected lines are proven to be concurrent. 3) For any decreasing sequence of positive real numbers {xn} satisfying x0=1

1982/1. The function f (n) is defined for all positive integers n and takes on
non-negative integer values. Also, for all m, n

f (m + n) − f (m) − f (n) = 0 or 1

f (2) = 0, f (3) > 0, and f (9999) = 3333.


Determine f (1982).
1982/2. A non-isosceles triangle A1 A2 A3 is given with sides a1 , a2 , a3 (ai is
the side opposite Ai ). For all i = 1, 2, 3, Mi is the midpoint of side ai , and Ti .
is the point where the incircle touches side ai . Denote by Si the reflection
of Ti in the interior bisector of angle Ai . Prove that the lines M1 , S1 , M2 S2 ,
and M3 S3 are concurrent.
1982/3. Consider the infinite sequences {xn } of positive real numbers with
the following properties:

x0 = 1, and for all i ≥ 0, xi+1 ≤ xi .

1982/4. Prove that if n is a positive integer such that the equation

x3 − 3xy 2 + y 3 = n

has a solution in integers (x, y), then it has at least three such solutions.
Show that the equation has no solutions in integers when n = 2891.
1982/5. The diagonals AC and CE of the regular hexagon ABCDEF are
divided by the inner points M and N , respectively, so that
AM CN
= = r.
AC CE
Determine r if B, M, and N are collinear.
1982/6. Let S be a square with sides of length 100, and let L be a path
within S which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments
A0 A1 , A1 A2 , · · · , An−1 An with A0 6= An . Suppose that for every point P of
the boundary of S there is a point of L at a distance from P not greater than
1/2. Prove that there are two points X and Y in L such that the distance
between X and Y is not greater than 1, and the length of that part of L
which lies between X and Y is not smaller than 198.
