Given a non-negative integer \( n \), determine the values of \( c \) for which the sequence of numbers \[ a_n = 4^n c + \frac{4^n - (-1)^n}{5} \] contains at least one perfect square.

2

Consider a function \( n \mapsto f(n) \) that satisfies the following conditions: \( f(n) \) is an integer for each \( n \). \( f(0) = 1 \). \( f(n+1) > f(n) + f(n-1) + \cdots + f(0) \) for each \( n = 0, 1, 2, \dots \). Determine the smallest possible value of \( f(2023) \).

3

Determine the smallest positive integer \( n \) with the following property: for every triple of positive integers \( x, y, z \), with \( x \) dividing \( y^3 \), \( y \) dividing \( z^3 \), and \( z \) dividing \( x^3 \), it also holds that \( (xyz) \) divides \( (x + y + z)^n \).

Let \(ABC\) be a triangle with \(AB < AC\) and let \(\omega\) be its circumcircle. Let \(M\) denote the midpoint of side \(BC\) and \(N\) the midpoint of arc \(BC\) of \(\omega\) that contains \(A\). The circumcircle of triangle \(AMN\) intersects sides \(AB\) and \(AC\) at points \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. Prove that \(BP = CQ\).
