Let A be a finite set of complex numbers. Prove that there exists a subset B of A such that \[ \bigl\lvert\sum_{z\in B} z\bigr\lvert \ge \frac{ 1}{\pi}\sum_{z\in A} \lvert z\rvert.\]

2012-2 sum with a permutation
Let n be a positive integer and let Sn be the set of all permutations on {1,2,…,n}. Assume \( x_1+x_2 +\cdots +x_n =0\) and \(\sum_{i\in A} x_i\neq 0 \) for all nonempty proper subsets A of {1,2,…,n}. Find all possible values of\[ \sum_{\pi \in S_n } \frac{1}{x_{\pi(1)}} \frac{1}{x_{\pi(1)}+x_{\pi(2)}}\cdots \frac{1}{x_{\pi(1)}+\cdots+ x_{\pi(n-1)}}. \]

2009-6 Sum of integers of the fourth power
Prove that each positive integer x can be written as a sum of at most 53 integers to the fourth power. In other words, for every positive integer x, there exist \(y_1,y_2,\ldots,y_k\) with \(k\le 53\) such that \(x=\sum_{i=1}^k y_i^4\).
