1. Let A, B and C be three points on a line (in this order). For each circle k through the points B and C,
let D be one point of intersection of the perpendicular bisector of BC with the circle k. Further, let E
be the second point of intersection of the line AD with k. Show that for each circle k, the ratio of
lengths BE : CE is the same.

2. Find all integer pairs (a, b) for which (2a2 + b)3 = b3a.

3. Let x, y and z be integers such that x > 0, z > 0 and x + y > 0. Find all the solutions to the equation
x4 + y4 + (x + y)4 = 2(z2 + 40).

4. How many 10 digit numbers are there which are divisible by 99 and whose all digits are different ?

5. In non-equilateral triangle ABC, let H be the orthocentre of ABC and J be the orthocentre of
the orthic triangle DEF of ABC (that is the triangle formed by the feet of the altitudes of ABC).
If ÐBAC = 60°, show that AJ ^ HJ.
