Problem 1: 0+ +1p for an algebraic transformation or change of variables which could possibly lead to a solution +2p for a division or factorization similar to the ones in the official solution (these points are not additive) 5- -1p for a very minor mistake (I can't imagine what that would be) -2p for a minor mistake which leads to not getting an integer Problem 2: 0+ +1p for a correct solution of the case Q=B +1p for ideas which could lead to a solution (e.g. translation into trigonometry with the angles A,B,C only) (additive) 5- -1p not all cases regarded/mentioned; the case Q=B has to be solved separately -1p/-2p for flaws in the proof Problem 3: 0+ Examples: +2p for an example in the case n=9 +1p for an example with n>9 Elimination: +2p for elimination of n=8 +1p for elimination of n=5,6 or 7 The points from the two groups are additive. 5- -1p for elimination of n=8 and example for n=9, without the observation that it is enough to eliminate n=8 Problem 4: 0+ +1p for the correct answer +2p for a translation into the language of paths (or sets) 5- -1p for correct answer for even n, a mistake in the answer for odd n
