Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $\ell$ be the line through $A$ and perpendicular to the line $BC$. The reflection of $\ell$ in the line $AB$ crosses the line through $B$ and perpendicular to $AB$ at $P$. The reflection of $\ell$ in the line $AC$ crosses the line through $C$ and perpendicular to $AC$ at $Q$. Show that the line $PQ$ passes through the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$.

Show that, if $m$ and $n$ are non-zero integers of like parity, and $n^2 -1$ is divisible by $m^2 - n^2 + 1$, then $m^2 - n^2 + 1$ is the square of an integer. Amer. Math. Monthly
Given a positive integer $n$, determine the largest integer $M$ satisfying $$\lfloor \sqrt{a_1}\rfloor + ... + \lfloor \sqrt{a_n} \rfloor \ge \lfloor\sqrt{ a_1 + ... + a_n +M \cdot min(a_1,..., a_n)}\rfloor $$for all non-negative integers $a_1,...., a_n$. S. Berlov, A. Khrabrov
Given an integer $n \ge 3$, prove that the diameter of a convex $n$-gon (interior and boundary) containing a disc of radius $r$ is (strictly) greater than $r(1 + 1/ \cos( \pi /n))$. The Editors

Two natural numbers have the property that the product of their positive divisors are equal. Does this imply that they are equal? Proposed by Belarus for the 1999th IMO
Find the smallest natural $ k $ such that among any $ k $ distinct and pairwise coprime naturals smaller than $ 2018, $ a prime can be found. Vlad Robu
Let be an isosceles trapezoid such that its smaller base is equal to its legs, and a rhombus that has each of its vertexes on a different side of the trapezoid. Prove that the smaller angles of the trapezoid are equal to the smaller ones of the rhombus. Vlad Robu
Let be a natural number $ n\ge 4 $ and $ n $ nonnegative numbers $ a,b,\ldots ,c. $ Prove that $$ \prod_{\text{cyc} } (a+b+c)^2 \ge 2^n\prod_{\text{cyc} } (a+b)^2, $$and tell in which circumstances equality happens.
