2017 Regional Olympiad of Mexico Northeast

1

Let $n$ be a positive integer less than $1000$. The remainders obtained when dividing $n$ by $2, 2^2, 2^3, ... , 2^8$, and $2^9$ , are calculated. If the sum of all these remainders is $137$, what are all the possible values of $n$?

2

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $N$ and $M$ be the midpoints of $AB$ and $CA$, respectively. Let $H$ be the foot of altitude from $A$. The circumcircle of $ABH$ intersects $MN$ at $P$, with $P$ and $M$ on the same side relative to $N$, and the circumcircle of $ACH$ intersects $MN$ at $Q$, with $Q$ and $N$ on the same side relative to $M$. $BP$ and $CQ$ intersect at $X$. Prove that $AX$ is the angle bisector of $\angle CAB$.

3

Prove that there is no pair of relatively prime positive integers $(a, b)$ that satisfy the equation $$a^3 + 2017a = b^3 -2017b.$$

4

Let $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ and let $M$ be the midpoint of the arc $\Gamma$ containing $A$ and bounded by $B$ and $C$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be points on the segments $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, such that $BP = CQ$. Prove that $APQM$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.

5

The figure shows a $2\times 2$ grid that has been filled with the numbers $a, b, c$, and $d$. We say that this grid is ordered if it is true that $a > b > c > d$ or that $a > d > c > b$. $\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline a & b \\ \hline d & c \\ \hline \end{tabular}$ In how many ways can the numbers from $1$ to $1000$ be arranged in the cells of a $2 \times 500$ grid ($2$ rows and $500$ columns) so that each $2 \times 2$ sub-grid is ordered?

6

Find all triples of real numbers $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the system of equations $$\begin{cases} b^2 = 4a(\sqrt{c} - 1) \\ c^2 = 4b (\sqrt{a} - 1) \\ a^2 = 4c(\sqrt{b} - 1) \end{cases}$$
