In how many ways can the number $2000$ be written as a sum of three positive, not necessarily different integers? (Sums like $1 + 2 + 3$ and $3 + 1 + 2$ etc. are the same.)

The persons $P_1, P_2, . . . , P_{n-1}, P_n$ sit around a table, in this order, and each one of them has a number of coins. In the start, $P_1$ has one coin more than $P_2, P_2$ has one coin more than $P_3$, etc., up to $P_{n-1}$ who has one coin more than $P_n$. Now $P_1$ gives one coin to $P_2$, who in turn gives two coins to $P_3 $ etc., up to $ Pn$ who gives n coins to $ P_1$. Now the process continues in the same way: $P_1$ gives $n+ 1$ coins to $P_2$, $P_2$ gives $n+2$ coins to $P_3$; in this way the transactions go on until someone has not enough coins, i.e. a person no more can give away one coin more than he just received. At the moment when the process comes to an end in this manner, it turns out that there are two neighbours at the table such that one of them has exactly five times as many coins as the other. Determine the number of persons and the number of coins circulating around the table.

In the triangle $ABC$, the bisector of angle $\angle B$ meets $AC$ at $D$ and the bisector of angle $\angle C$ meets $AB$ at $E$. The bisectors meet each other at $O$. Furthermore, $OD = OE$. Prove that either $ABC$ is isosceles or $\angle BAC = 60^\circ$.

The real-valued function $f$ is defined for $0 \le x \le 1, f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1$, and $\frac{1}{2} \le \frac{ f(z) - f(y)}{f(y) - f(x)} \le 2$ for all $0 \le x < y < z \le 1$ with $z - y = y -x$. Prove that $\frac{1}{7} \le f (\frac{1}{3} ) \le \frac{4}{7}$.
