Problem 1. Let n > 1 be an integer. The numbers 1, . . . , n are written on a board.


Aliceurill and Bobasaur take turns circling an uncircled number on the board, with Aliceurill
going first. When the product of the circled numbers becomes a multiple of n, the game
ends and the last player to have circled a number loses. For which values of n can Bobasaur
guarantee victory?

Problem 2. Find all monic nonconstant polynomials P with integer coefficients for which
there exist positive integers a and m such that for all positive integers n ≡ a (mod m),
P (n) is nonzero, and
(n + 1)n+1 − nn
2022 ·
P (n)
is an integer.

Problem 3. Let P be a regular 2022-gon with area 1. Find a real number c such that, if
points A and B are chosen independently and uniformly at random on the perimeter of P,
then the probability that AB ≥ c is 21 .

Time limit: 4 hours 30 minutes.


Each problem is worth 7 points.

Problem 4. Let ABCDE be a convex pentagon such that △ABE, △BEC, and △EDB
are similar (with vertices in order). Lines BE and CD intersect at point T . Prove that
line AT is tangent to the circumcircle of △ACD.

Problem 5. Let n ≥ 3 be a positive integer. There are n3 users on a social media


network called Everyone Likes Meeting Online (ELMO), and some pairs of these users are
ELMObuddies. A set of at least three ELMO users forms an ELMOclub if and only if all
pairs of members of the set are ELMObuddies. It is known that among every n users, some
three form an ELMOclub. Prove that there is an ELMOclub with five members.

Problem 6. Find all functions f : Z → Z such that, for all integers m and n,

f (f (m) − n) + f (f (n) − m) = f (m + n).

Time limit: 4 hours 30 minutes.


Each problem is worth 7 points.
