At the start of the game, each pawn randomly presents its black or white face. At each move - which we call a operation throughout the following - one of the pawns and all its neighbors on top are turned over. The drawing opposite shows an example of the change made to an initial configuration by an operation with the third to-ken. The aim of the game is to find a sequence of operations such that all pawns show their white face. 1 Does the order of two operations matter? 2 What is the combined effect of two identical operations? 3 Indicate the numbers of the pawns to be turned over to see only white faces, in the situations shown below. E.8327 A faulty calculator only allows : type positive or zero numbers ; perform the following operation: from three numbers en-tered successively ( x ; y ; z ) , it displays 0 if x = y and the result of z x y otherwise. ( x ; y ; z ) z x y if x = y 0 si x = y the use of parentheses to compose calculations. 1 By detailing the calculations, check the following results given by the calculator: 0 ; 1 ; 2 ↦− 2 ; 2 ; 0 ; 1 ; 1 ; 1 ↦− 2 2 What gives 2 ; 0 ; 1 , 0 ; 2 ; 1 et 2 ; 1 ; 2 ; 1 ; 2 ? 3 Give a calculation to obtain 1 . 4 Verify that the calculation a ; 0 ; 1 yields the inverse of a for any a> 0 . 2. Algebra E.8347 For all natural numbers m and n , we call the triangle of m by n , and we note m Δ n , the number defined by the following rules, which we admit are possible : n = n + 1 n Δ0 = n 1 Δ1 as soon as n =0 ; n +1 Δ m +1 = n Δ ( n +1)Δ m Warning, m Δ n is not necessarily equal to n Δ m . Some results 1 a Show that : 1Δ0=2 et 1Δ1=3 b Calculate 1Δ2 c More generally, determine, for any natural number n , the value of n . We can pose u n = n and check that the sequence u n is arithmetic. 2 a Calculate 2Δ0 , 2Δ1 and 2Δ2 . b Justify, that for any natural number n : n =2 n +3 3 a Calculate 3Δ0 , 3Δ1 and 3Δ2 . b Demonstrate that, for any natural number n , n is equal to 2 n +3 3 . We can pose v n = n and show that, for any n greater than or equal to 1 : v n = 2 · v n 1 + 3 . Illustration from n One artist illustrated the values 3Δ0 and 3Δ1 in this way: 4 Draw on the copy a third figure that would logically com-plete this sequence of drawings and illustrate the value of 3Δ2 . 5 Suppose the side of a square in figure 1 measures 1 cm . a Determine the respective areas of figures 1 and 2 . b What would be the area of the figure illustrating n ?

E.8348 It is assumed that there exists a function f defined on the set of natural integers N verifying the property: ( E ) : for all x and y of N , f ( x + y )= f ( x ) · f ( y ) x · y Preliminary Show that f (0)=1 . The results can be admitted in the follow-ing parts. A. Study of a first example : We assume here that : f (1)=3 . 1 Calculate f (2) then f (3) . 2 Show by two separate calculations that f (4)=60 and that f (4)=63 . Conclude. B. Study of a second example : We assume here that : f (1)=0 . 1 Calculate f (2) , f (3) and f (4) . 2 Conjecture the expression of f ( n ) as a function of n . 3 Demonstrate this conjecture. 4 Prove that for the function found at 2 and 3 the property ( E ) is indeed verified. C. General case First part : we note f (1) = a 1 Express f (2) and f (3) in terms of a . 2 Express f (4) as a function of a in two different ways. 3 Deduce that : a =0 or a =2 . Second part : we study the second case : It is assumed that : f (1)=2 . Express f ( n ) as a function of n . 3. Arithmetic E.8326 A non-zero natural number is a Harshad number if it is divisible by the sum of its digits. For example, n =24 is a Harshad number because the sum of its digits is 2+4=6 , and 24 is indeed divisible by 6 . 1 a Show that 364 is a Harshad number. b What is the smallest integer that is not a Harshad number? 2 a Give a Harshad number of 4 digits. b Let n be a non-zero integer. Give a Harshad number of n digits. E.8338 Here is an algorithm applicable to three-digit integers whose hundreds digit is not equal to the units digit: Step 1 : Inverser the order of the digits (e.g. 275 be-comes 572 ) Step 2 : Calculate the difference between the larger and smaller of these two numbers. Step 3 : Reiterate step 1 on the number obtained. Step 4 : Adding these last two nombres 1 Apply the algorithm to numbers 123 , 448 and 946 . 2 What can we conjecture? E.8337 An integer is said to be digisible when the following three conditions are verified : none of its numbers is zero; it is written with all different digits ; it is divisible by each of them. For example, 24 is digisible because it is divisible by 2 and by 4 . 324 is digisible because it is divisible by 3 , by 2 and by 4 . 32 is not digisible because it is not divisible by 3 . Recall that an integer is divisible by 3 if, and only if, the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 . 1 Suggest another number digisible with two digits. 2 a Give all single-digit factors of the number 1000 . b Deduce a four-digit digisible number. 3 Let n be an integer digisible written with a 5 . a Demonstrate that 5 is the digit of its units. b Demonstrate that all the digits of n are odd. E.8332 We start with a strictly positive integer n : If n is even, we transform it into n 2 If n is odd ( n> 1 ) , we turn it into 3 n +1 . If n =1 , we stop. Examples : If n =6 , we get the sequence : 6 ↦− 3 ↦− 10 ↦− 5 ↦− 16 ↦− 8 ↦− 4 ↦− 2 ↦− 1 If n =13 , we get the sequence : 13 ↦→ 40 ↦→ 20 ↦→ 10 ↦→ 5 ↦→ 16 ↦→ 8 ↦→ 4 ↦→ 2 ↦→ 1 It has been observed using a computer program, that for ev-ery integer tested, the sequence always results in 1 . But this result has not yet been demonstrated. We can also be interested in the length of this sequence, which we’ll denote L ( n ) . For example: L (6)=9 and L (13)=10 . 1 Determine L ( n ) for integers from 1 to 12 . 2 Let p be an integer, consider the integer n =2 p . Express L ( n ) as a function of p . 3 Find an integer n between 2 2008 and 2 2009 such that : L ( n )=2012 . Hint : We could look for a number of the form 2 p × q . 4.

If so, find them all. E.8330 A counter consists of three toothed wheels, named R 0 , R 1 and R 2 each comprising 7 notches, numbered from 0 to 6 . This counter is designed so that : The wheels always turn from one notch to the next, in this order : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 When the wheel R 0 makes a full turn, i.e. when it turns 7 notches then the wheel R 1 turns one notch. When the wheel R 1 makes one complete turn, i.e. when it turns 7 notches, then the wheel R 2 turns one notch. Initially, the wheels R 0 , R 1 and R 2 all display 0 . Between each question, the counter is reset, i.e. each wheel displays 0 again 1 We turn the wheel R 0 by 15 notches. What are the num-bers displayed by the wheels? 2 We turn the wheel R 0 by 100 notches. What are the numbers displayed by the wheels? 3 We turn the wheel R 0 until the wheel R 2 displays 5 for the first time. How many notches has R 0 been turned? 4 How many notches must R 0 be turned for the wheels to return to 0 at the same time for the first time? 5 We turn the wheel R 0 by 3580 notches. What are the numbers displayed by the wheels then? E.8331 Consider regular octagons, of the same center O . On the vertices of the central octagon, note the first eight non-zero integers. On the vertices of the second octagon, we inscribe the next 8 first integers, with a rotation of 45 degrees around the point O . And so on. . . Each integer is said to have a direction ( A , B , C , D , E , F , G or H relative to the origin O ) . For example, 1 has direction A , 2 has direction B . . . Here’s a figure representing the first four octagons : 1 What will be the first integer inscribed on the fourth octagon? Specify its direction. 2 Determine the first integer inscribed on the eighth oc-tagon. Specify its direction. 5. Arithmetic and function E.8340 For all natural numbers m and n , we call the triangle of m by n , and we note m Δ n , the number defined by the following rules, which we admit are possible : n = n + 1 n Δ0 = n 1 Δ1 as soon as n =0 ; n +1 Δ m +1 = n Δ ( n +1)Δ m Warning, m Δ n is not necessarily equal to n Δ m .

Determine the area of the figure 1 . 2 Figure 2 was constructed from figure 1 to which eight identical squares were replayed. Determine the area of figure 2 . E.8328 Angle measurements approx-imately A triangle ABC is said to be approximately right-angled at a vertex A if the measure of the angle at A is in the inter-val 75 o ; 105 o . A triangle ABC is said to be approximately isosceles at a vertex A if the measures of the angles at B and C differ by 15 o at most. 1 a Is a right-angled triangle approximately right-angled? Is an isosceles triangle approximately isosce-les. b Can a triangle be right-angled in two vertices? Approx-imately right-angled in two vertices? If so, when it is additionally acutangle (i.e. all its angles are acute) , is it approximately isosceles? 2 Is there an acutangular triangle that is neither approxi- mately right-angled nor approximately isosceles? 3 Write a program (in natural language or calculator) , to be copied onto your copy, testing whether a triangle ABC whose three angles A , B and C are known is approxi-mately isosceles. E.8335 Reminder : Area of a trape-zoid A = ( B + b ) × h 2 A rectangular pizza ABCD has crust on two consecutive sides, [ DA ] and [ AB ] . We want to divide the pizza into three equal pieces : each piece must have the same length of crust and the same area. In each situation, we fix the length of the short side AD =1 . In the specific case shown opposite, we assume that the division is equal. What is the length AB ? Determine the lengths : DF , FH , and HC .

The circles are tangent to each other and tangent to the sides of the square. Determine the length of one side of the square. E.8334 The metal workshop of a shipyard cuts parts of various shapes from square steel plates that it orders from the rolling mill. To limit material losses and therefore production costs, the shop foreman must determine in advance the size of the square plates he needs to order according to the parts to be cut. For some orders, only the shape and surface of the parts to be cut are transmitted to them. In each of the following three parts, the cutting of certain types of parts is studied. These parts can be treated independently of each other. Where necessary, lengths should be rounded to the nearest mm , and areas to the nearest cm 2 . Part 1: Cutting triangular parts The workshop needs to produce a part that has the shape of an equilateral triangle with a surface area of 20 m 2 . The workshop manager is considering two cutting solutions as illustrated in the following diagrams : Note a the side of the triangle and c the side of the square. 1 Schematic n o 1: a Express the height h as a function of a . b Deduce the side a of the square to be constructed to meet the constraints. c Calculate the area of steel lost with this method. 2 Diagram n o 2: a Justify that the angle BAE measures 15 o . E.8353 In this exercise, we consider only A4-sized sheets of paper, i.e. with dimensions 21 cm and 29.7 cm . Part A - Creating a cornet by folding Using an A4 sheet of paper, create a cornet by successive cut-ting and folding. Here’s the protocol for constructing this cornet, illustrated in the figure below : Step 1: cut out a square ABA C side 21 cm from the A4 sheet of paper. Step 2: fold this square according to ( BC ) to obtain an isosceles right-angled triangle verifying: AB = AC =21 cm Step 3: place the vertex B on a point D of the segment [ AB ] such that, after folding, the line ( DE ) is parallel to the line ( BC ) . Step 4: perform a similar procedure starting from vertex B . Step 5: fold the two top triangles, one in front, one behind. When we measure AD , we get 8.7 cm (rounded to the nearest mm ) . What is the exact value of the distance AD ? Part B - Making a particular triangle y Using a sheet of A4 paper, we now need to make a particular triangle by successive folds. This sheet is modeled by a rectangle ABCD . E and F denote the middles of segments [ AD ] and [ BC ] . respectively Here’s the protocol for constructing this triangle illustrated in the figure below. The rectangle in the following figure corresponds to the un-folded A4 sheet after the triangle has been constructed. We wish to determine the nature of the triangle thus constructed. 1 Show that the measure of the angle GAJ is equal to 60 o . 2 Show that we fold the point C onto the segment [ AG ] . 3 Show that the point B is folded over the segment [ JG ] .

Geometry and trigonometry E.8352 Calculating the radius R of the Earth 1 An observer is standing on the shore at A and sees a boat moving away to the south, the height of which is known h above the waterline (as shown in the figure below, which is not to scale) . Due to the roundness of the Earth, the ship disappears completely from the horizon once it is d = AB away from the coast as the crow flies. We ignore the size of the observer so that OA = R . We assume that the distance d is known. We recall that the horizon line ( AB ) is tangent to the Earth at A . Find a relationship between R , d , and h . 2 Justify that h R is very small. 3 Deduce that : R d 2 2 · h 4 Numerical application : for h =20 m and d =16 km , give a value for the radius R of the Earth, rounded to the nearest kilometer. Horizon line Throughout this section, we agree that R =6400 km . 5 We are looking for the height h of the boat in the figure above so that the lookout, located at the top of the mast, can see the shore of an island located at a given distance (in a straight line) d . Show that this amounts to solving, for a given d , the equation with unknown h : h + R 2 = d 2 + R 2 6 In the case where d =50 km , calculate the height h and the length of the arc AH . E.9549 Pierre and his daughter Eloise are walking along a horizontal road. At a point R , this road descends making an angle of 5 o with the horizontal (see figure) Eloise, whose eyes are 1.6 meter from the ground, stops at a point E , 24 meters from the R point. His father continues walking, passes the point R then enters the sloping part of the road. 1 When he is 86 meters from R , he disappears from his daughter’s view. Determine Pierre’s height. 2 On the sloping part of the road, posts 6.5 meters high are planted vertically every 28 meters, as in the diagram below The foot of the first post is 28 meters from the point R . It is assumed that the posts cannot hide from each other. How many poles can Eloise see from where she is? 3 What is, in reality, the measure of the angle , given that Eloise can only see 5 poles? We can use the formula : 1+ tan 2 = 1 cos 2 We’ll give an approximate value of to the nearest 10 3 . 10. Probability E.8349 A ladybug moves along the sides of a square ABCD starting from point A .

When such a die is rolled, the result is the number inscribed closest to the tetrahedral base. In our example, the tetrahedral die fell on face 4 . Antoine, Baptiste, Cyril and Diane play with four regular, balanced tetrahedral dice, but which are not numbered in the usual way. Thus, Antoine’s die has four sides numbered 1 , 6 , 6 and 6 .

The player has won when the two balls drawn are the same color. It is assumed that on each draw, all the balls in the urn have the same probability of being drawn.
