1.

Let 49 students solve 3 problems and the score of each problem is one of these nonnegative integers
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Prove that there exist two students A and B such that for each of the
problems the scores of A is not less than B. (The Problem Prepared for 29th IMO in 1988).

2. In a group of 17 scientists each scientist sends letters to the others. In their letters only three topics
are involved and each couple of scientists makes reference to only one topic. Show that there exists
a group of three scientists which send each other letters on the same topic. (6th IMO)

3. Is it possible to choose (1) 4; (2) 5 distinct positive integers such that the sum of any three numbers
of them is a prime?

4. Show that n7 = n mod 42.

5. If m is a prime number and a, b, are two numbers less than m, prove that
am-2 + am-3b + am-4b2 +….+ bm-2 is a multiple of m.
