The managing director of AS Mull, a brokerage company for soap bubbles, air castles and cheese holes, kissed the sales manager lazily, claiming that the company's sales volume in December had decreased by more than $10\%$ compared to October. Muugijuht, on the other hand, wrote in his quarterly report that although each, in the first half of the month, sales decreased compared to the second half of the previous month $30\%$ of the time, it increased in the second half of each month compared to the first half of the same month by $35\%$. Was the CEO wrong when the sales manager's report is true?

In a three-digit positive integer $M$, the number of hundreds is less than the number of tenths and the number of tenths is less than the number of ones. The arithmetic mean of the integer three-digit numbers obtained by arranging the number $M$ and its numbers ends with the number $5$. Find all such three-digit numbers $M$.
Are there any (not necessarily positive) integers $m$ and $n$ such that a) $\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{m-n}$ ? b) $\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{n-m}$
On the side $AC$ of the triangle $ABC$, choose any point $D$ different from the vertices $A$ and C. Let $O_1$ and $O_2$ be circumcenters the triangles $ABD$ and $CBD$, respectively. Prove that the triangles $O_1DO_2$ and $ABC$ are similar.
$2000$ lines are set on the plane. Prove that among them there are two such that have the same number of different intersection points with the rest of the lines.

There are three candidates in the Hundilaane forest governor elections: $A, B$ and $C$. For each of the $20$ forest dwellers, the names of all three candidates were written on the ballot paper in the order of their preference. Examination of the ballots revealed that $11$ forest dwellers prefer $A$, $12$ $B$ and $14$ $C$. Which of the candidates will be marked first on the largest number of ballot papers when it is known that each possible the order of the candidates appears on at least one ballot?
Which of the numbers $2^{2002}$ and $2000^{200}$ is bigger?
Prove that if the numbers $a, b, c, d$ satisfy the system of equations $$\begin{cases} a^2+b^2=2cd \\ b^2+c^2=2da \\ c^2+d^2=2ab \end{cases}$$then $a=b=c=d$.
Let $E$ be the midpoint of the side $AB$ of the parallelogram $ABCD$. Let $F$ be the projection of $B$ on $AC$. Prove that the triangle $ABF$ is isosceles
At a given plane with $2,000$ lines, all those with an odd number of different points of intersection with intersecting lines. a) Can there be an odd number of red lines if in the plane given there are no parallel lines? b) Can there be an odd number of red lines if none of any 3 given lines intersect at one point?

Let $PQRS$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $\angle PSR = 90^o$, and let $H,K$ be the projections of $Q$ on the lines $PR$ and $PS$, respectively. Prove that the line $HK$ passes through the midpoint of the segment $SQ$.
Find all values of $a$ for which the equation $x^3 - x + a = 0$ has three different integer solutions.
Let us define the sequences $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ and $b_1, b_2, b_3,...$. with the following conditions $a_1 = 3, b_1 = 1$ and $a_{n +1} =\frac{a_n^2+b_n^2}{2}$ and $b_{n + 1}= a_n \cdot b_n$ for each $n = 1, 2,...$. Find all different prime factors οf the number $a_{2000} + b_{2000}$.
Mathematicians $M$ and $N$ each have their own favorite collection of manuals on the book, which he often uses in his work. Once they decided to make a statement in which each mathematician proves at each turn any theorem from his handbook which neither has yet been proven. Everything is done in turn, the mathematician starts $M$. The theorems of the handbook can win first all proven; if the theorems of both manuals can proved at once, wins the last theorem proved by a mathematician. Let $m$ be a theorem in the mathematician's handbook $M$. Find all values of $m$ for which the mathematician $M$ has a winning strategy if is It is known that there are $222$ theorems in the mathematician's handbook $N$ and $101$ of them also appears in the mathematician's $M$ handbook.

Let $x \ne 1$ be a fixed positive number and $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ some kind of number sequence. Prove that $x^{a_1},x^{a_2},x^{a_3},...$ is a non-constant geometric sequence if and only if $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$. is a non-constant arithmetic sequence.
The first of an infinite triangular spreadsheet the line contains one number, the second line contains two numbers, the third line contains three numbers, and so on. In doing so is in any $k$-th row ($k = 1, 2, 3,...$) in the first and last place the number $k$, each other the number in the table is found, however, than in the previous row the least common of the two numbers above it multiple (the adjacent figure shows the first five rows of this table). We choose any two numbers from the table that are not in their row in the first or last place. Prove that one of the selected numbers is divisible by another.
Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $\angle ACB = 60^o$ , and its heights $AD$ and $BE$ intersect at point $H$. Prove that the circumcenter of triangle $ABC$ lies on a line bisecting the angles $AHE$ and $BHD$.
Prove that for any triangle the equation holds $a \cdot \cos (\beta + \gamma ) + b \cdot \cos (\gamma +\alpha) + c\cdot \cos (\alpha -\beta) = 0$, where $a, b, c$ are the sides of the triangle and $\alpha, \beta,\gamma$ according to their angles sizes of opposite angles.
$N$ lines are drawn on the plane that divide it into a certain number for finite and endless parts. For which number of straight lines $n$ can there be more finite than infinite among the resulting level parts?
