The natural numbers \(a,b,c,d\) are such that \(ab=cd\). Prove that the number \(a^{2025} + b^{2025} + c^{2025} + d^{2025}\) is composite.

Prove that for an arbitrary odd \(n = 2m - 1\) the sum \(S = 1^n + 2^n + ... + n^n\) is divisible by \(1 + 2 + ... + n = nm\).

Observe that \(14\) isn’t a square number but \(144=12^2\) and \(1444=38^2\) are both square numbers. Let \(k_1^2=\overline{a_n...a_1a_0}\) the decimal representation of a square number.
Is it possible that \(\overline{a_n...a_1a_0a_0}\) and \(\overline{a_n...a_1a_0a_0a_0}\) are also both square numbers?

I’m thinking of a positive number less than \(100\). This number has remainder \(1\) when divided by \(3\), it has remainder \(2\) when divided by \(4\), and finally, it leaves remainder \(3\) when divided by \(5\). What number am I thinking of?

I’m thinking of two prime numbers. The first prime number squared is thirty-six more than the second prime number. What’s the second prime number?

How many integers less than \(2025\) are divisible by \(18\) or \(21\), but not both?

Determine all prime numbers \(p\) such that \(p^2-6\) and \(p^2+6\) are both prime numbers.

Is it possible to place a positive integer in every cell of a \(10\times10\) array in such a way that both the following conditions are satisfied?

  1. Each number (not in the bottom row) is a proper divisor of the number immediately below.

  2. The numbers in each row, rearrange if necessary, form a sequence of 10 consecutive numbers.

Josie and Kevin are each thinking of a two digit positive integer. Josie’s number is twice as big as Kevin’s. One digit of Kevin’s number is equal to the sum of digits of Josie’s number. The other digit of Kevin’s number is equal to the difference between the digits of Josie’s number. What is the sum of Kevin and Josie’s numbers?

Does the equation \(9^n+9^n+9^n=3^{2025}\) have any integer solutions?
