Problem Statement

p1. Determine all three-digit numbers XYZ\overline{XYZ} that meet the equality XYZ+YXZ=WWZZ\overline{XYZ} + \overline{YXZ} = \overline{WWZZ} where each letter represents a digit, equal letters represent equal digits, and different letters represent different digits.
p2. A machine for numbering pages is ruined, the problem it has is that it does not print the numbers that are multiples of 33 nor those that are multiples of 55. The numbering on the pages of a book is the following: 1,2,4,7,8,11,...1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, ... If the last issue printed in this book is 20122012, determine the number of pages in the book.
p3. Let x,y,zx, y, z be three positive numbers that satisfy x+1y=73x+\frac{1}{y}=\frac73 y+1z=1y+\frac{1}{z}=1 z+1x=4z+\frac{1}{x}=4 Determine the product xyzxyz.
p4. Let ABCABC be a triangle right at CC, draw the altitude CDCD. It is known that the area of the triangle ADCADC is one fourth part of the area of the triangle ABCABC. Determine the measures of the angles of triangle ABCABC
p5. Determine for what value nn it is possible to form with 99 people, nn groups of 33 people each so that each pair of people is in exactly one group. Show one of the possible group configurations.
