Level 3

1

1) Find a $4$-digit number $\overline{PERU}$ such that $\overline{PERU}=(P+E+R+U)^U$. Also prove that there is only one number satisfying this property.

2

2) Let $a, b, c$ be real numbers such that $$a+\frac{b}{c}=b+\frac{c}{a}=c+\frac{a}{b}=1$$a) Prove that $ab+bc+ca=0$ and $a+b+c=3$. b) Prove that $|a|+|b|+|c|< 5$

3

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle such that $BA = BC$. On the sides $BA$ and $BC$ points $D$ and $E$ are chosen respectively, such that $DE$ and $AC$ are parallel. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of the triangle $DBE$ and $M$ be the midpoint of $AE$. If $\angle HMC = 90^o$, determine the measure of angle $\angle ABC$.

4) A $100\times 200$ board has $k$ black cells. An operations consists of choosing a $2\times 3$ or $3\times 2$ sub-board having exactly $5$ black cells and painting of black the remaining cell. Find the least value of $k$ for which exists an initial distribution of the black cells such that after some operations the board is completely black.
