In the plane we consider rectangles whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes and have positive length. Such a rectangle will be called a *box*. Two boxes *intersect* if they have a common point in their interior or on their boundary. Find the largest $ n$ for which there exist $ n$ boxes $ B_1$ , $ \ldots$ , $ B_n$ such that $ B_i$ and $ B_j$ intersect if and only if $ i\not\equiv j\pm 1\pmod n$ . *Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Netherlands*

Given a positive integer $c$ , we construct a sequence of fractions $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ as follows: $\bullet$ $a_1 =\frac{c}{c+1} $ $\bullet$ to get $a_n$ , we take $a_{n-1}$ (in its most simplified form, with both the numerator and denominator chosen to be positive) and we add $2$ to the numerator and $3$ to the denominator. Then we simplify the result again as much as possible, with positive numerator and denominator. For example, if we take $c = 20$ , then $a_1 =\frac{20}{21}$ and $a_2 =\frac{22}{24} = \frac{11}{12}$ . Then we find that $a_3 =\frac{13}{15}$ (which is already simplified) and $a_4 =\frac{15}{18} =\frac{5}{6}$ . (a) Let $c = 10$ , hence $a_1 =\frac{10}{11}$ . Determine the largest $n$ for which a simplification is needed in the construction of $a_n$ . (b) Let $c = 99$ , hence $a_1 =\frac{99}{100}$ . Determine whether a simplification is needed somewhere in the sequence. (c) Find two values of $c$ for which in the first step of the construction of $a_5$ (before simplification) the numerator and denominator are divisible by $5$ .

The USAMO is a $6$ question test. For each question, you submit a positive integer number $p$ of pages on which your solution is written. On the $i$ th page of this question, you write the fraction $i/p$ to denote that this is the $i$ th page out of $p$ for this question. When you turned in your submissions for the $2017$ USAMO, the bored proctor computed the sum of the fractions for all of the pages which you turned in. Surprisingly, this number turned out to be $2017$ . How many pages did you turn in? *Proposed by Tristan Shin*

A rectangle $ABEF$ is drawn on the leg $AB$ of a right triangle $ABC$ , whose apex $F$ is on the leg $AC$ . Let $X$ be the intersection of the diagonal of the rectangle $AE$ and the hypotenuse $BC$ of the triangle. In what ratio does point $X$ divide the hypotenuse $BC$ if it is known that $| AC | = 3 | AB |$ and $| AF | = 2 | AB |$ ?

A set of three elements is called arithmetic if one of its elements is the arithmetic mean of the other two. Likewise, a set of three elements is called harmonic if one of its elements is the harmonic mean of the other two. How many three-element subsets of the set of integers $\left\{z\in\mathbb{Z}\mid -2011<z<2011\right\}$ are arithmetic and harmonic? (Remark: The arithmetic mean $A(a,b)$ and the harmonic mean $H(a,b)$ are defined as \[A(a,b)=\frac{a+b}{2}\quad\mbox{and}\quad H(a,b)=\frac{2ab}{a+b}=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}}\mbox{,}\] respectively, where $H(a,b)$ is not defined for some $a$ , $b$ .)

The world-renowned Marxist theorist *Joric* is obsessed with both mathematics and social egalitarianism. Therefore, for any decimal representation of a positive integer $n$ , he tries to partition its digits into two groups, such that the difference between the sums of the digits in each group be as small as possible. Joric calls this difference the *defect* of the number $n$ . Determine the average value of the defect (over all positive integers), that is, if we denote by $\delta(n)$ the defect of $n$ , compute \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sum_{k = 1}^{n}\delta(k)}{n}.\] *Iurie Boreico*
