Earlier this month, high school students from around the world gathered in Bremen, Germany to test their math skills in the 50th annual International Mathematics Olympiad. If you’re interested in the type of problems that high school students can solve using only algebra, geometry, number theory, take a look:
Let n be a positive integer and let
be distinct integers in the set {1, . . . , n} such that n divides for i = 1, . . . , k − 1. Prove that n does not divide .
