Let $a$ be a positive integer. Determine all $a$ such that the equation $$ \biggl( 1+\frac{1}{x} \biggr) \cdot \biggl( 1+\frac{1}{x+1} \biggr) \cdots \biggl( 1+\frac{1}{x+a} \biggr)=a-x$$has at least one integer solution for $x$. For every such $a$ state the respective solutions. (Richard Henner)

The set $M$ consists of all $7$-digit positive integer numbers that contain (in decimal notation) each of the digits $1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8$ and $9$ exactly once. (a) Find the smallest positive difference $d$ of two numbers from $M$. (b) How many pairs $(x, y)$ with $x$ and $y$ from M are there for which $x - y = d$? (Gerhard Kirchner)

Let a triangle $ABC$ be given with $AB <AC$. Let the inscribed center of the triangle be $I$. The perpendicular bisector of side $BC$ intersects the angle bisector of $BAC$ at point $S$ and the angle bisector of $CBA$ at point $T$. Prove that the points $C, I, S$ and $T$ lie on a circle. (Karl Czakler)

Find all quadruples $(p, q, r, n)$ of prime numbers $p, q, r$ and positive integer numbers $n$, such that $$p^2 = q^2 + r^n$$ (Walther Janous)
