We are given 51 two-digit numbers – we will count one-digit numbers as two-digit numbers with a leading 0. Prove that it is possible to choose 6 of these so that no two of them have the same digit in the same column.
You are given 1002 different integers that are no greater than 2000. Prove that it is always possible to choose three of the given numbers so that the sum of two of them is equal to the third.
Will this still always be possible if we are given 1001 integers rather than 1002?
Prove that amongst any 11 different decimal fractions of infinite length, there will be two whose digits in the same column – 10ths, 100s, 1000s, etc – coincide (are the same) an infinite number of times.
Let \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) be integers; where \(a\) and \(b\) are not equal to zero.
Prove that the equation \(ax + by = c\) has integer solutions if and only if \(c\) is divisible by \(d = \mathrm{GCD} (a, b)\).
Prove that in a three-digit number, that is divisible by 37, you can always rearrange the numbers so that the new number will also be divisible by 37.
Prove that there are infinitely many composite numbers among the numbers \(\lfloor 2^k \sqrt{2}\rfloor\) (\(k = 0, 1, \dots\)).
Prove the irrationality of the following numbers:
a) \(\sqrt{3}{17}\)
b) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\)
c) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\)
d) \(\sqrt{3}{3} - \sqrt{2}\)
e) \(\cos 10^{\circ}\)
f) \(\tan 10^{\circ}\)
g) \(\sin 1^{\circ}\)
h) \(\log_{2}3\)
Is it possible for
a) the sum of two rational numbers irrational?
b) the sum of two irrational numbers rational?
c) an irrational number with an irrational degree to be rational?
\(N\) points are given, no three of which lie on one line. Each two of these points are connected by a segment, and each segment is coloured in one of the \(k\) colours. Prove that if \(N > \lfloor k!e\rfloor\), then among these points one can choose three such that all sides of the triangle formed by them will be colored in one colour.
Prove that the following polynomial does not have any identical roots: \(P(x) = 1 + x + x^2/2! + \dots + x^n/n!\)
