1

Find all ordered pairs $(a,b)$, of natural numbers, where $1<a,b\leq 100$, such that $\frac{1}{\log_{a}{10}}+\frac{1}{\log_{b}{10}}$ is a natural number.

2

Prove that for every positive real $a,b,c$ the inequality holds : $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}+1 \geq \frac{2\sqrt2}{3} (\sqrt{\frac{a+b}{c}}+\sqrt{\frac{b+c}{a}}+\sqrt{\frac{c+a}{b}})$ When does the equality hold?

$n$ teams participated in a basketball tournament. Each team has played with each team exactly one game. There was no tie. If in the end of the tournament the $i$-th team has $x_{i}$ wins and $y_{i}$ loses $(1\leq i \leq n)$ prove that: $\sum_{i=1}^{n} {x_{i}}^2=\sum_{i=1}^{n} {y_{i}}^2$

Prove that : $\cos36-\sin18=\frac{1}{2}$

A sphere with ray $R$ is cut by two parallel planes. such that the center of the sphere is outside the region determined by these planes. Let $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ be the areas of the intersections, and $d$ the distance between these planes. Find the area of the intersection of the sphere with the plane parallel with these two planes, with equal distance from them.

1

The sequence ${a_{n}}$ $n\in \mathbb{N}$ is given in a recursive way with $a_{1}=1$, $a_{n}=\prod_{i=1}^{n-1} a_{i}+1$, for all $n\geq 2$. Determine the least number $M$, such that $\sum_{n=1}^{m} \frac{1}{a_{n}} <M$ for all $m\in \mathbb{N}$

3

Let $a\geq 2$ a fixed natural number, and let $a_{n}$ be the sequence $a_{n}=a^{a^{.^{.^{a}}}}$ (e.g $a_{1}=a$, $a_{2}=a^a$, etc.). Prove that $(a_{n+1}-a_{n})|(a_{n+2}-a_{n+1})$ for every natural number $n$.
