P1

Determine all positive integers $a$, $b$ and $c$ which satisfy the equation $$a^2+b^2+1=c!.$$ Proposed by Nikola Velov

P2

Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=3$. Prove the inequality $$\frac{a^3}{a^2+1}+\frac{b^3}{b^2+1}+\frac{c^3}{c^2+1} \geq \frac{3}{2}.$$ Proposed by Anastasija Trajanova

P3

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H$. The circle $\Gamma$ with center $H$ and radius $AH$ meets the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at the points $E$ and $F$ respectively. Let $E'$, $F'$ and $H'$ be the reflections of the points $E$, $F$ and $H$ with respect to the line $BC$, respectively. Prove that the points $A$, $E'$, $F'$ and $H'$ lie on a circle. Proposed by Jasna Ilieva

P4

An equilateral triangle $T$ with side length $2022$ is divided into equilateral unit triangles with lines parallel to its sides to obtain a triangular grid. The grid is covered with figures shown on the image below, which consist of $4$ equilateral unit triangles and can be rotated by any angle $k \cdot 60^{\circ}$ for $k \in \left \{1,2,3,4,5 \right \}$. The covering satisfies the following conditions: $1)$ It is possible not to use figures of some type and it is possible to use several figures of the same type. The unit triangles in the figures correspond to the unit triangles in the grid. $2)$ Every unit triangle in the grid is covered, no two figures overlap and every figure is fully contained in $T$. Determine the smallest possible number of figures of type $1$ that can be used in such a covering. Proposed by Ilija Jovcheski

P5

Let $n$ be a positive integer such that $n^5+n^3+2n^2+2n+2$ is a perfect cube. Prove that $2n^2+n+2$ is not a perfect cube. Proposed by Anastasija Trajanova
