Problem 1. Determine whether there exists a positive integer a such that

2015a, 2016a, . . . , 2558a

are all perfect power.

Problem 2. Suppose that m, n, k are positive integers satisfying

3mk = (m + 3)n + 1.

Prove that k is odd.

Problem 3. Find all pairs of integers m, n ≥ 2 such that

n n
n | 1 + m3 + m2·3 .

Problem 4. Determine all positive integers M such that the sequence a0 , a1 , a2 , · · · defined
by
1
a0 = M + and ak+1 = ak ⌊ak ⌋ for k = 0, 1, 2, · · ·
2
contains at least one integer term.

Problem 5. Find all nonnegative integers x, y, z satisfying the equation

2x + 31y = z 2 .

Problem 6. Suppose that for some m, n ∈ N we have φ(5m − 1) = 5n − 1, where φ denotes

the Euler function. Show that (m, n) > 1.
