Prove that for any integer $n \ge 2$, there exists a unique finite sequence $x_0, x_1,..., x_n$ of real numbers which satisfies $x_0 = x_n = 0$ and $x_{i+1} - 8x_i^3 -4x_i + 3x_{i-1} + 1 = 0$ for all $i = 1,2,...,n - 1$. Prove moreover that $ |x_i| \le \frac12$ for all $i = 1,2,...,n - 1$. Nguyễn Duy Thái Sơn

Given $2015$ subsets $A_1, A_2,...,A_{2015}$ of the set $\{1, 2,..., 1000\}$ such that $|A_i| \ge 2$ for every $i \ge 1$ and $|A_i \cap A_j| \ge 1$ for every $1 \le i < j \le 2015$. Prove that $k = 3$ is the smallest number of colors such that we can always color the elements of the set $\{1, 2,..., 1000\}$ by $k$ colors with the property that the subset $A_i$ has at least two elements of different colors for every $i \ge 1$.

Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer and $p_1 < p_2 < ... < p_n$ prime numbers. Prove that there exists an integer $k$ relatively prime with $p_1p_2... p_n$ and such that $gcd (k + p_1p_2...p_i, p_1p_2...p_n) = 1$ for all $i = 1, 2,..., n - 1$. Malik Talbi

Find all strictly increasing functions $f : Z \to R$ such that for any $m, n \in Z$ there exists a $k \in Z$ such that $f(k) = f(m) - f(n)$. Nguyễn Duy Thái Sơn

Find the number of $6$-tuples $(a_1,a_2, a_3,a_4, a_5,a_6)$ of distinct positive integers satisfying the following two conditions: (a) $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5 + a_6 = 30$ (b) We can write $a_1,a_2, a_3,a_4, a_5,a_6$ on sides of a hexagon such that after a finite number of time choosing a vertex of the hexagon and adding $1$ to the two numbers written on two sides adjacent to the vertex, we obtain a hexagon with equal numbers on its sides.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, $H_a, H_b$ and $H_c$ the feet of its altitudes from $A, B$ and $C$, respectively, $T_a, T_b, T_c$ its touchpoints of the incircle with the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$, respectively. The circumcircles of triangles $AH_bH_c$ and $AT_bT_c$ intersect again at $A'$. The circumcircles of triangles $BH_cH_a$ and $BT_cT_a$ intersect again at $B'$. The circumcircles of triangles $CH_aH_b$ and $CT_aT_b$ intersect again at $C'$. Prove that the points $A',B',C'$ are collinear. Malik Talbi
