1) Show that there exists infinitely many pairs of incongruent isosceles triangles, with
integer sides, having equal areas (for each pair).

2) Teams T1 , T2 , ..., Tn take part in a tournament in which every team plays every other
team just once. One point is awarded for each win, and it is assumed that there are no draws.
Let s1 , s2 , ..., sn denote the (total) scores of T1 , T2 , ..., Tn respectively. Find the maximum
possible value of s1 + s2 + ... + sk .

4) In triangle ABC the midline parallel to AB meets the altitudes fom A and B at points
D and E. The midline parallel to AC intersects the altitudes fom A and C at points F and
G. Prove that DC k BF k GE.

5) Let n ≥ 5 be an odd integer. Prove that
