    The document summarizes the problems presented on the first two days of the 19th Iberoamerican Mathematical Olympiad held in Castellón, Spain in September 2004. On the first day, the problems included coloring a board with certain rules about adjacent squares, finding the locus of a circumcenter of a triangle where one point moves along a circle, and finding integers a and b that satisfy a given equation. On the second day, the problems involved finding pairs of two-digit numbers that satisfy a condition when operated on, proving points are collinear based on intersecting bisectors in a triangle, and proving a statement about sets of intersection points.

    19-th Iberoamerican Mathematical Olympiad

    Castellón, Spain, September 18–26, 2004


    First Day – September 21

    1. Some squares of a 1001×1001 board are to be colored according to the following


    rules:
    (i) If two squares share a side, then at least one of them must be colored;
    (ii) Among any six successive squares in a row or in a column some two adja-
    cent ones must be both colored.
    Determine the smallest number of squares that need to be colored.
    2. In the plane are given a circle with center O and radius r and a point A outside the
    circle. For any point M on the circle, let N be the diametrically opposite point.
    Find the locus of the circumcenter of triangle AMN when M describes the circle.
    3. Let n and k be positive integers either with n odd or with both n and k even. Show
    that there exist integers a and b such that

    gcd(a, n) = gcd(b, n) = 1 and k = a + b.

    Second Day – September 22

    4. Find all pairs (a, b) of two-digit natural numbers such that both 100a + b and
    201a + b are four-digit perfect squares.
    5. In a scalene triangle ABC, points A′ , B′ ,C′ are the intersection points of the inter-
    nal bisectors of angles A, B,C with the opposite sides, respectively. Let BC meet
    the perpendicular bisector of AA′ at A′′ , CA meet the perpendicular bisector of
    BB′ at B′′ , and AB meet the perpendicular bisector of CC′ at C′′ . Prove that A′′ ,
    B′′ and C′′ are collinear.
    6. For a set H of points in a plane, we say that a point P in the plane is an intersec-
    tion point if there are distinct points A, B,C, D in H such that the lines AB and
    CD intersect at P.
    Given a finite set A0 in the plane, sets A1 , A2 , . . . are constructed inductively
    as follows: For every j ≥ 0, A j+1 is the union of A j and the set of intersection
    points of A j . Prove that if the union of all the sets A j is finite, then A j = A1 for
    all j ≥ 1.
