2018 Balkan MO: Contributors: Microsoft Office Word, Hamel

This document contains 4 math problems proposed by participants in the 2018 Balkan Mathematical Olympiad: 1. A problem involving a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle and bisecting an angle. 2. A problem about two ants walking distances of q^n meters each minute, and determining possible values of q such that they eventually meet at the same point. 3. A coin game problem determining pairs of initial piles of coins (a, b) such that if the piles start at a and b coins, Bob has a winning strategy. 4. A number theory problem to find primes p and q such that a certain expression divides another expression.

1 A quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle k where AB > CD,and AB is


not paralel to CD.Point M is the intersection of diagonals AC and BD, and
the perpendicular from M to AB intersects the segment AB at a point E.If
EM bisects the angle CED prove that AB is diameter of k.
Proposed by Emil Stoyanov,Bulgaria

2 Let q be a positive rational number. Two ants are initially at the same point X
in the plane. In the n-th minute (n = 1, 2, ...) each of them chooses whether to
walk due north, east, south or west and then walks the distance of q n metres.
After a whole number of minutes, they are at the same point in the plane (not
necessarily X), but have not taken exactly the same route within that time.
Determine all possible values of q.
Proposed by Jeremy King, UK

3 Alice and Bob play the following game: They start with non-empty piles of
coins. Taking turns, with Alice playing first, each player choose a pile with an
even number of coins and moves half of the coins of this pile to the other pile.
The game ends if a player cannot move, in which case the other player wins.
Determine all pairs (a, b) of positive integers such that if initially the two piles
have a and b coins respectively, then Bob has a winning strategy.
Proposed by Dimitris Christophides, Cyprus

4 Find all primes p and q such that 3pq−1 + 1 divides 11p + 17p
