Day 111a.)For all positive integer k find the smallest positive integer f (k )such that 5sets s 1,s 2,...,s 5exist satisfying:
I.each has k elements;II.s i and s i +1are disjoint for i =1,2,...,5(s 6=s 1)III.the union of the 5sets has exactly f (k )elements.
b.)Generalisation:Consider n ≥3sets instead of 5.

Day 21Given a convex figure in the Cartesian plane that is symmetric with respect of both axis,we construct a rectangle A inside it with maximum area (over all posible rectangles).Then we enlarge it with center in the center of the rectangle and ratio lamda such that is covers the convex figure.Find the smallest lamda such that it works for all convex figures.2Find all positive integer n such that the equation x 3+y 3+z 3=n ·x 2·y 2·z 2has positive integer solutions.3Let G be a simple graph with 2·n vertices and n 2+1edges,then there is a K 4-one edge,that is two triangles with a common edge./This file was downloaded from the AoPS −MathLinks Math Olympiad Resources Page Page 2http://www.mathlinks.ro/。
