Subcontests
(6)2016 Sets
Find, with proof, the least integer N such that if any 2016 elements are removed from the set 1,2,...,N, one can still find 2016 distinct numbers among the remaining elements with sum N. Inversely Similiar Triangles
Let △ABC be an acute triangle, with O as its circumcenter. Point H is the foot of the perpendicular from A to line BC, and points P and Q are the feet of the perpendiculars from H to the lines AB and AC, respectively.Given that AH2=2⋅AO2, prove that the points O,P, and Q are collinear. Sequences of Subsets
Let X1,X2,…,X100 be a sequence of mutually distinct nonempty subsets of a set S. Any two sets Xi and Xi+1 are disjoint and their union is not the whole set S, that is, Xi∩Xi+1=∅ and Xi∪Xi+1=S, for all i∈{1,…,99}. Find the smallest possible number of elements in S.
