+\problem{USAMO 1996 Problem 6}
+Determine (with proof) whether there is a subset $X$ of
+the nonnegative integers with the following property: for any nonnegative integer $n$ there is exactly
+one solution of $a + 2b = n$ with $a, b \in X$.
+(The original USAMO question asked about all integers, not just nonnegative - this is harder,
+but still approachable with generating functions.)

+\vfill
+
+\problem{IMO Shortlist 1998}
+Let $a_0, a_1, ...$ be an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers
+such that every nonnegative integer can be
+expressed uniquely in the form $a_i + 2a_j + 4a_k$,
+where $i, j, k$ are not necessarily distinct.
+
+Determine $a_1998$.

+\vfill

+\problem{USAMO 1986 Problem 5}
+By a partition $\pi$ of an integer $n \geq 1$, we mean here a
+representation of $n$ as a sum of one or more positive integers where the summands must be put in
+nondecreasing order. (e.g., if $n = 4$, then the partitions $\pi$ are
+$1 + 1 + 1 + 1$, $1 + 1 + 2$, $1 + 3, 2 + 2$, and $4$).
+
+
+For any partition $\pi$, define $A(\pi)$ to be the number of ones which appear in $\pi$, and define $B(\pi)$
+to be the number of distinct integers which appear in $\pi$ (e.g, if $n = 13$ and $\pi$ is the partition
+$1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 5$, then $A(\pi) = 2$ and $B(\pi) = 3$).
+
+Show that for any fixed $n$, the sum of $A(\pi)$ over all partitions of $\pi$ of $n$ is equal to the sum of
+$B(\pi)$ over all partitions of $\pi$ of $n$.
+
+\vfill
+
+\problem{USAMO 2017 Problem 2}
+Let $m_1, m_2, ..., m_n$ be a collection of $n$ distinct positive
+integers. For any sequence of integers $A = (a_1, ..., a_n)$ and any permutation $w = w_1, ..., w_n$ of
+$m_1, ..., m_n$, define an $A$-inversion of $w$ to be a pair of entries $w_i, w_j$ with $i < j$ for which one of the
+following conditions holds:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item $ai \geq wi > wj$
+	\item $wj > ai \geq wi$
+	\item $wi > wj > ai$
+\end{itemize}
+
+Show that for any two sequences of integers $A = (a_1, ..., a_n)$ and $B = (b_1, ..., b_n)$ and for any
+positive integer $k$, the number of permutations of $m_1, ..., m_n$ having exactly $k$ $A$-inversions is equal
+to the number of permutations of $m_1, ..., m_n$ having exactly $k$ $B$-inversions.
+(The original USAMO problem allowed the numbers $m_1, ..., m_n$ to not necessarily be distinct.)

+The identity bird has sometimes been maligned, owing to
+the fact that whatever bird x you call to $I$, all $I$ does is to echo
+$x$ back to you.
+
+\vspace{2mm}
+
+Superficially, the bird $I$ appears to have no intelligence or imagination; all it can do is repeat what it hears.
+For this reason, in the past, thoughtless students of ornithology
+referred to it as the idiot bird. However, a more profound or-
+nithologist once studied the situation in great depth and dis-
+covered that the identity bird is in fact highly intelligent! The
+real reason for its apparently unimaginative behavior is that it
+has an unusually large heart and hence is fond of every bird!
+When you call $x$ to $I$, the reason it responds by calling back $x$
+is not that it can't think of anything else; it's just that it wants
+you to know that it is fond of $x$!
+
+\vspace{2mm}
+
+Since an identity bird is fond of every bird, then it is also
+fond of itself, so every identity bird is egocentric. However,
+its egocentricity doesn't mean that it is any more fond of itself
+than of any other bird!.
