A positive integer is called tico if it is the product of three different prime numbers that add up to 74. Verify that 2014 is tico. Which year will be the next tico year? Which one will be the last tico year in history?
I think this belongs in pre olympiad. One of the primes must be $2$ due to parity. Then to maximize the year, we need the other two primes to be as close as possible, which follows from a smoothing argument. Then the last tico year is $2 \cdot 31 \cdot 41$.
So the next one is $2\cdot 29\cdot 43 = 2494$ and the next and last one is $2\cdot 31\cdot 41 = 2542$. A challenging problem for an interstate competition ...
Indeed, every year the first problem of this contest tends to be very easy; this is somewhat of a convention. You might find the rest of the problems more interesting (day 2 will be uploaded tomorrow).
