Problem Statement

p1. What is the maximum amount of a 12%12\% acid solution that can be obtained from 11 liter of 5%5\%, 10%10\% and 15%15\% solutions?
p2. Which number is greater: 199,719,971,9972199,719,971,997^2 or 199,719,971,99619,9719,971,998199,719,971,996 * 19,9719,971,998 ?
p3. Is there a convex 19981998-gon whose angles are all integer degrees?
p4. Is there a ten-digit number divisible by 1111 that uses all the digits from0 0 to 99?
p5. There are 2020 numbers written in a circle, each of which is equal to the sum of its two neighbors. Prove that the sum of all numbers is 00.
p6. Is there a convex polygon that has neither an axis of symmetry nor a center of symmetry, but which transforms into itself when rotated around some point through some angle less than 180180 degrees?
p7. In a convex heptagon, draw as many diagonals as possible so that no three of them are sides of the same triangle, the vertices of which are at the vertices of the original heptagon.
p8. Give an example of a natural number that is divisible by 3030 and has exactly 105105 different natural factors, including 11 and the number itself.
p9. In the writing of the antipodes, numbers are also written with the digits 0,...,90, ..., 9, but each of the numbers has different meanings for them and for us. It turned out that the equalities are also true for the antipodes 58+7+1=485 * 8 + 7 + 1 = 48 226=242 * 2 * 6 = 24 56=305* 6 = 30 a) How will the equality 23=...2^3 = ... in the writing of the antipodes be continued? b) What does the number9 9 mean among the Antipodes?
Clarifications: a) It asks to convert 232^3 in antipodes language, and write with what number it is equal and find a valid equality in both numerical systems. b) What does the digit 99 mean among the antipodes, i.e. with which digit is it equal in our number system?
p10. Is there a convex quadrilateral that can be cut along a straight line into two parts of the same size and shape, but neither the diagonal nor the straight line passing through the midpoints of opposite sides divides it into two equal parts?
PS.1. There was typo in problem 99, it asks for 232^3 and not 2323. PS.2. You should use hide for answers. Collected [url=https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c2416727_soros_olympiad_in_mathematics]here.
