The XXII Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad held in March 2010 consists of five mathematical problems, each worth 7 points, that require participants to demonstrate their problem-solving skills in geometry, number theory, and functional equations. Contest rules emphasize the confidentiality of the problems until they are officially posted online, and the use of calculators is prohibited. The problems involve concepts such as circumcenters, pure powers, acquaintance relationships, and function identities.

XXII Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad

March, 2010

Time allowed: 4 hours Each problem is worth 7 points


*The contest problems are to be kept confidential until they are posted on the official APMO
website (http://www.mmjp.or.jp/competitions/APMO). Please do not disclose nor discuss the
problems over the internet until that date. Calculators are not allowed to use.

Problem 1. Let ABC be a triangle with 6 BAC 6= 90◦ . Let O be the circumcenter of the
triangle ABC and let Γ be the circumcircle of the triangle BOC. Suppose that Γ intersects
the line segment AB at P different from B, and the line segment AC at Q different from C.
Let ON be a diameter of the circle Γ. Prove that the quadrilateral AP N Q is a parallelogram.

Problem 2. For a positive integer k, call an integer a pure k-th power if it can be represented
as mk for some integer m. Show that for every positive integer n there exist n distinct positive
integers such that their sum is a pure 2009-th power, and their product is a pure 2010-th power.

Problem 3. Let n be a positive integer. n people take part in a certain party. For any pair
of the participants, either the two are acquainted with each other or they are not. What is
the maximum possible number of the pairs for which the two are not acquainted but have a
common acquaintance among the participants?

Problem 4. Let ABC be an acute triangle satisfying the condition AB > BC and
AC > BC. Denote by O and H the circumcenter and the orthocenter, respectively, of the
triangle ABC. Suppose that the circumcircle of the triangle AHC intersects the line AB at
M different from A, and that the circumcircle of the triangle AHB intersects the line AC at
N different from A. Prove that the circumcenter of the triangle M N H lies on the line OH.

Problem 5. Find all functions f from the set R of real numbers into R which satisfy for
all x, y, z ∈ R the identity

f (f (x) + f (y) + f (z)) = f (f (x) − f (y)) + f (2xy + f (z)) + 2f (xz − yz).
