Austria, 24 - 27 June 2018[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667029p10595005]Problem 1. Determine all functions such that for all real numbers and ,
Proposed by Walther Janous, Austria[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667030p10595011]Problem 2. Let be an acute scalene triangle. Let and be points on the sides and , respectively, such that . Denote by and the circumcentres of the triangles and , respectively. Prove that the circumcircles of the triangles , and have a common point different from .Proposed by Patrik Bak, Slovakia[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667031p10595016]Problem 3. There are players sitting around a round table. At the beginning of the game we arbitrarily deal all the cards from a deck of cards to the players (some players may receive no cards). In each turn we choose a player who draws one card from each of the two neighbors. It is only allowed to choose a player whose each neighbor holds a nonzero number of cards. The game terminates when there is no such player. Determine the largest possible value of such that, no matter how we deal the cards and how we choose the players, the game always terminates after a finite number of turns.Proposed by Peter Novotný, Slovakia[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667033p10595021]Problem 4. Let be an acute triangle with the perimeter of . We are given three pairwise disjoint circles with pairwise disjoint interiors with the centers , and , respectively. Prove that there exists a circle with the radius of which contains all the three circles.

Show that there exists a line parallel to two sides of the rectangle, which intersects the other two sides in their interior points and intersects the polyline in fewer than points.Proposed by Josef Tkadlec, Czechia and Vojtech Bálint, Slovakia[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667036p10595032]Problem 6. We say that a positive integer is fantastic if there exist positive rational numbers and such that
(a) Prove that there exist infinitely many prime numbers such that no multiple of is fantastic.
(b) Prove that there exist infinitely many prime numbers such that some multiple of is fantastic.Proposed by Walther Janous, Austria
