11-th International Mathematical Olympiad

Bucharest, Romania, July 520, 1969

First Day July 10 1. Prove that there exist innitely many natural numbers a with the following property: the number z = n4 + a is not prime for any natural number n. (DR Germany) 2. Let a1 , a2 , . . . , an be real constants and y (x) = cos(a1 + x) + cos(an + x) cos(a2 + x) cos(a3 + x) + + . + 2 22 2n1

If x1 , x2 are real and y (x1 ) = y (x2 ) = 0, prove that x1 x2 = m for some integer m. (Hungary) 3. Find conditions on the positive real number a such that there exists a tetrahedron k of whose edges (k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have length a, and the other 6 k edges have length 1. (Poland) Second Day July 11 4. Let AB be a diameter of a circle . A point C dierent from A and B is on the circle . Let D be the projection of the point C onto the line AB . Consider three other circles 1 , 2 , and 3 with the common tangent AB : 1 inscribed in the triangle ABC , and 2 and 3 tangent to both (the segment) CD and . Prove that 1 , 2 , and 3 have two common tangents. (Netherlands) 5. Given n points in the plane such that no three of them are collinear, prove n3 that one can nd at least convex quadrilaterals with their vertices 2 at these points. (Mongolia)
