Problem Statement

p1. From each natural number nn less than 100100, two digits are subtracted from the sum of the squares. For what values of nn is this difference maximum?
p2. In a triangle ABCABC, isosceles and right in BB, a point DD is taken on the hypotenuse and is projected perpendicularly at points EE and FF of legs ABAB and BCBC, respectively, dividing thus the triangle ABCABC in the triangles AEDAED, DFCDFC and the rectangle EBFDEBFD. If each leg measures aa, show that at least one of the areas of these three figures of this division is greater than or equal to 29a2\frac29 a^2.
p3. A normal year has 365365 days. A leap year has 366366 days, a leap year being a year not divisible by 44, except those that being divisible by 1010 are not divisible by 400400 (for example 1900 was not leap, but the year 20002000 will be such). Remembering that today is Saturday August 2222, 19981998, what day of the week was September 1818, 18101810?
p4. Miriam invited nine boys and eight girls for her birthday. Her mother prepared T-shirts with the numbers from 1 1 to 1818 and distributed them to all the participants of this. During a dance, the mother observed that the sum of the numbers of each pair was a perfect square. How were the nine couples made up?
p5. Let HH be the point where the altitudes of a triangle ABCABC intersect. Show that the angle formed by the radii of the circumferences of diameter AHAH and BCBC at their points of intersection, is a right angle.
p6.In how many ways can 1010 people be photographed, sitting in a row, so that four of them a,b,c a, b, c and dd always remain in the same relative order, that is, aa is always at the left of b b, that b b is always to the left of cc and that cc is always to the left of dd?
p7. Find a number that is divisible by 19981998 and such that the sum of its digits when written in the decimal system it is equal to 19981998.
