Solution: 2013-12 Equilateral triangle in R^n

Let \( A = \{ (a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n : a_i = \pm 1 \, (i = 1, 2, \cdots, n) \} \subset \mathbb{R}^n \). Prove that, for any \( X \subset A \) with \( |X| > 2^{n+1}/n \), there exist three distinct points in \( X \) that are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

Solution: 2013-08 Minimum of a set involving polynomials with integer coefficients

Let \( p \) be a prime number. Let \( S_p \) be the set of all positive integers \( n \) satisfying
\[
x^n – 1 = (x^p – x + 1) f(x) + p g(x)
\]
for some polynomials \( f \) and \( g \) with integer coefficients. Find all \( p \) for which \( p^p -1 \) is the minimum of \( S_p \).

Solution: 2012-5 Iterative geometric mean

For given positive real numbers \(a_1,\ldots,a_k\) and for each integer n≥k, let \(a_{n+1}\) be the geometric mean of \( a_n, a_{n-1}, a_{n-2}, \ldots, a_{n-k+1}\). Prove that \( \lim_{n\to\infty} a_n\) exists and compute this limit.
