Let $X_r=x^r+y^r+z^r$ with $x,y,z$ real. It is known that if $S_1=0$, \[(*)\quad\frac{S_{m+n}}{m+n}=\frac{S_m}{m}\frac{S_n}{n}\]for $(m,n)=(2,3),(3,2),(2,5)$, or $(5,2)$. Determine all other pairs of integers $(m,n)$ if any, so that $(*)$ holds for all real numbers $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=0$.

If a point $A_1$ is in the interior of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ and point $A_2$ is in the interior of $\triangle{A_1BC}$, prove that \[\operatorname{I.Q.} (A_1BC) > \operatorname{I.Q.} (A_2BC),\]where the isoperrimetric quotient of a figure $F$ is defined by \[\operatorname{I.Q.}(F) = \frac{\operatorname{Area}(F)}{[\operatorname{Perimeter}(F)]^2}.\]

Prove that there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $k\cdot2^n+1$ is composite for every integer $n$.

$A,B$, and $C$ are three interior points of a sphere $S$ such that $AB$ and $AC$ are perpendicular to the diameter of $S$ through $A$, and so that two spheres can be constructed through $A$, $B$, and $C$ which are both tangent to $S$. Prove that the sum of their radii is equal to the radius of $S$.
