Toomates Coolección
Los documentos de Toomates son materiales digitales y gratuitos. Son digitales porque están pensados para ser consultados
mediante un ordenador, tablet o móvil. Son gratuitos porque se ofrecen a la comunidad educativa sin coste alguno. Los libros de
texto pueden ser digitales o en papel, gratuitos o en venta, y ninguna de estas opciones es necesariamente mejor o peor que las otras. Es más: Suele suceder que los mejores docentes son los que piden a sus alumnos la compra de un libro de texto en papel, esto es un
hecho. Lo que no es aceptable, por inmoral y mezquino, es el modelo de las llamadas "licencias digitales" con las que las editoriales
pretenden cobrar a los estudiantes, una y otra vez, por acceder a los mismos contenidos (unos contenidos que, además, son de una bajísima calidad). Este modelo de negocio es miserable, pues impide el compartir un mismo libro, incluso entre dos hermanos,
pretende convertir a los estudiantes en un mercado cautivo, exige a los estudiantes y a las escuelas costosísimas líneas de Internet,
pretende pervertir el conocimiento, que es algo social, público, convirtiéndolo en un producto de propiedad privada, accesible solo a aquellos que se lo puedan permitir, y solo de una manera encapsulada, fragmentada, impidiendo el derecho del alumno de poseer
todo el libro, de acceder a todo el libro, de moverse libremente por todo el libro.
Nadie puede pretender ser neutral ante esto: Mirar para otro lado y aceptar el modelo de licencias digitales es admitir un mundo más injusto, es participar en la denegación del acceso al conocimiento a aquellos que no disponen de medios económicos, en un mundo
en el que las modernas tecnologías actuales permiten, por primera vez en la historia de la Humanidad, poder compartir el
conocimiento sin coste alguno, con algo tan simple como es un archivo "pdf". El conocimiento no es una mercancía. El proyecto Toomates tiene como objetivo la promoción y difusión entre el profesorado y el colectivo de estudiantes de unos
materiales didácticos libres, gratuitos y de calidad, que fuerce a las editoriales a competir ofreciendo alternativas de pago atractivas
aumentando la calidad de unos libros de texto que actualmente son muy mediocres, y no mediante retorcidas técnicas comerciales. Este documento se comparte bajo una licencia “Creative Commons”: Se permite, se promueve y se fomenta cualquier uso,
reproducción y edición de todos estos materiales siempre que sea sin ánimo de lucro y se cite su procedencia. Todos los documentos
se ofrecen en dos versiones: En formato “pdf” para una cómoda lectura y en el formato “doc” de MSWord para permitir y facilitar su edición y generar versiones parcial o totalmente modificadas. Se agradecerá cualquier observación, comentario o colaboración a

Para este problema lo más práctico es enumerarlas una a una, en función de la carta que
eliminamos. Por cada permutación ascendente válida habrá una descendente, por lo que
contaremos solo las ascendentes y el resultado lo multiplicaremos por dos.
En las cuales vemos algunas repeticiones, que se han marcado en gris. En total hay

7 Consideremos un subconjunto cualquiera de 11 miembros del club.
Sea 110 i el número de hombres de dicho grupo.
Luego el número de mujeres será i11 .
Y por tanto el número de mujeres fuera del grupo es 11112 ii .
Luego si tomamos los hombres de dicho grupo y las mujeres que no están en dicho grupo,
obtenemos un comité que se adapta al enunciado.
Recíprocamente, si tenemos un comité de 1i mujeres y i hombres, con las ii 11112
mujeres que no están en el comité y los i hombres que sí están podemos formar un grupo de 11
personas.
Así pues, existe una biyección entre el número de comités posible y los subconjuntos de 11

El número de casos de tomar 180 321 bbb es 13303

El número de casos de tomar 90 321 ccc es 2203

La clave para resolver este problema es ver que la condición mn mn | implica que si p es un
factor primo de n , también lo será de m .
Por otro lado, la condición mn | implica 1n .
Otra clave importante es ver que la condición 1)210,( nm , con 7532210 implica
que si un primo p de un dígito (2,3,5 o 7) divide n, entonces también dividirá a m, y por tanto
dividirá nm , con lo que 1)210,( nm .
Así pues, los factores primos de n serán 11, 13, 17…
Si estos factores primos de n estuvieran elevados a 0 o 1 como máximo, por ser también
factores de m , entonces m tendría todos los factores de n elevados a sus potencias respectivas,
es decir, mn | , contradiciendo la tercera hipótesis del enunciado.
Así pues, la factorización de n debe contener algún exponente mayor o igual que 2.
El menor candidato posible de n es 121112 n , y por tanto 2421212 1111 .
Puesto que, por hipótesis, mm|11242 , necesitamos un m que sea múltiplo de 11, mayor o igual
que 242, que no sea divisible por 121 y que 1)210,( nm .
242m no cumple pues es divisible entre 121.
253m no cumple pues 374121253 nm es divisible entre 2.
264m no cumple pues 385121264 nm es divisible entre 5.
275m no cumple pues 396121275 nm es divisible entre 2.
Finalmente, 286m cumple las condiciones del enunciado:
3711407121286 nm , y por tanto 1)210,( nm
13112 m , mn | .
Luego la solución es 407.

La rotación genera circunferencias concéntricas en su centro O. Dicho centro queda
determinado por la intersección de dos radios, que serán perpendiculares a dos cuerdas por su
punto medio.

Luego el centro de rotación es el punto )3,21(
Vemos que esta rotación transforma una recta horizontal (el lado AC) en una recta vertical (el
lado A'C'), luego será una rotación de º90m . Esto también se puede observar determinado,
por ejemplo, los vectores OA y 'OA y viendo que son perpendiculares.
Segunda versión.
Si en primer lugar nos percatamos de que la rotación es de 90º, viendo que transforma un
segmento horizontal en uno vertical, la determinación del centro ),( yxO es mucho más fácil,
pues sabemos que el segmento de (0,0) a ),( yx y el segmento ),( yx a ),( xyyx son
perpendiculares y tienen la misma longitud. Así pues, llegamos a

Analizando detenidamente la larga cadena de operaciones involucradas en este problema,
podemos especular que 10)( ng , el primer valor que no se puede representar en base 16 con
los dígitos 9,...,2,1,0 .
En base 8 disponemos de los dígitos del 0 al 7, y por lo tanto, el valor mínimo para que la suma
sea 10 será 3+7, es decir, el número 31783378 .
Finalmente, buscamos un número cuya suma de dígitos en su representación en base 4 sea 31.
En base 4 tenemos los dígitos 3,2,1,0 . 110331 , luego el número buscado será

Ordenaremos los casos en función del número de substituciones hechas:
Primer caso: 0 substitutiones.
1 caso.
Segundo caso: 1 substitución.
Hay 11 jugadores potencialmente substituibles y 11 jugadores substitutos, luego en
total:
1211111 casos.
Tercer caso: 2 substituciones.
En la segunda substitución tenemos 10 posibles substitutos, luego el total es
1211111 casos para la primera substitución, y
1101011 para la segunda, 1331010111111 casos.
Cuarto caso: 3 substituciones.
Siguiendo la pauta anterior, cada vez tenemos un substituto menos, luego hay:

Sea Z el punto de corte de las dos tangentes a por A y B, respectivamente. AZ es también
tangente a 1 y BZ es tangente también a 2 . Sabemos que Z pertenece al eje radical de 1 y

Pero por 10.2.7 se cumple AQPZAP y PQBPBZ , así pues:
PQBPBZZAPAQP
De aquí ABZAQZ y por tanto AQBZ es un cuadrilátero cíclico.
Por otro lado, si O es el centro de la circunferencia , sabemos que OAZB es un cuadrilátero
cíclico de radio OZ (puesto que º90 ZAOZBO ), y por tanto tenemos que OAZBQ es
cíclico de diámetro OZ, luego, por Tales, º90OQZ , es decir, XYOQ , de donde se
deduce que Q es el punto medio de la cuerda XY, tal y como queríamos ver.

Lo primero que debemos observar en este problema es que los asientos están numerados, por lo
que no hay equivalencia por rotaciones.
Denotaremos por 4321 ,,, EEEE los embajadores y por 4321 ,,, CCCC sus respectivos cuatro
consejeros.
Aunque trabajamos con una mesa redonda, ponemos las posiciones en fila para mayor
comodidad. Marcamos en gris los asientos pares, los de los embajadores.
En primer lugar, colocamos a los embajadores. Hay que dejar dos sitios marcados como par
libres. Luego colocaremos los consejeros alrededor de estos.
Primer caso: Los dos sitios libres están juntos, y los cuatro embajadores juntos entre ellos.
Los huecos pueden ser (2,4), (4,6), (6,8), (8,10), (10,12) o (12,2), y en cada caso hay !4 formas
de colocar los embajadores, luego !46
Para colocar los consejeros:

E1 E2 E3 E4
C1 C2 C3 C4
C1 C2 C3 C4
C1 C2 C3 C4
C1 C2 C3 C4
C1 C2 C3 C4
Hay 5 configuraciones diferentes de consejeros. El total es 7205!46 combinaciones.
Segundo caso. Los asientos están separados por un embajador.
Pueden ser (2,6), (4,8), (6,10), (8,12), (10,2), (12,4) y para cada uno de ellos, hay !4 formas de
colocar los embajadores. En total: !46
Si los dos asientos libres están separados por algún consejero, digamos el "4" y el "8", las
posibilidades de colocar los consejeros son las siguientes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Hay 8 formas posibles de situar a los consejeros.
Por tanto, el número total de posibilidades es 1152!468 configuraciones distintas.
Tercer caso.
Si hay dos embajadores entre los dos huecos, los huecos pueden ser: (2,8), (4,10), (6, 12), y de
nuevo hay !4 formas diferentes de poner los embajadores. En total: !43
Ahora, para colocar los consejersos, digamos que los huecos son el "4" y el "10":

Ahora tenemos un 824 , que nos impide obtener el 20.

El problema que se plantea es estudiar todas las combinaciones posibles
15 nznyx
con enteros 0,, zyx
Y determinar aquellos enteros positivos n para los cuales 91 no se puede formar pero sí se
pueden formar 92, 93, 94…
Está claro que, independientemente del valor n , se pueden formar todos los múltiplos de 5,
pues basta ir dando valores a x , con 0 zy .
Para un valor n cualquiera, está claro que podremos formar seguro todos los valores de la
forma n , 5n , 10n , 15n ,… También todos los valores de la forma 1n ,
651 nn , 11101 nn ,…
Todo esto nos indica que la clave para resolver este problema es pasar a módulo 5:
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
91 92 93 94 95
96 97 98 99 100
Aplicamos el Teorema “Chicken McNugget”, a las combinaciones 5 y n:
245591 nnn
Luego podemos garantizar que 24n .
Primer caso: 5mod1n
Supongamos que n se encuentra en la primera columna, es decir, que 5mod1n .
Vemos que 91 también está en la primera columna, luego nos obliga a 91n , es decir:
...,101,96n
Pero entonces no podríamos obtener 92 (ni 93, 94…) con lo que dicho número no es aceptable.
Segundo caso: 5mod2n
Si n se encuentra en la segunda columna, 1n se encontrará en la tercera, y por tanto n2 se
encontrará en la cuarta. En efecto:
5mod4410252225 kknkn
También vemos que 5mod12212 nn se puede obtener, y está en la primera
columna.
Luego 9112 n , y el primer candidato interesante sería el siguiente: 9612 n
479612 nn
Comprobamos que, efectivamente, 47n satisface las condiciones del enunciado:
Están todos los múltiplos de 47, en particular 5947454792 , todos los múltiplos de
48, 94472 y todos los múltiplos de 94, y observamos que 91 no se puede representar como
combinación de 47, 48 y 5, pero sí podemos representar 482)147(296 .

6 7 8 9 10

47 48
91 92 93 94 95
96 97 98 99 100
Tercer caso: 5mod3n
5mod1625mod3 nn , y por tanto n2 se encontrará en la primera columna. Como
en el caso anterior, deducimos que 912 n y el primer candidato interesante sería el siguiente:
48962 nn
Pero con este valor nos encontramos con un problema en la segunda columna: No se puede
representar 92, y por tanto no es válido.
En efecto, todo consiste en ir viendo las posibles combinaciones:
97494851,1,0 zyxzyx
102494851,1,1 zyxzyx
93494850,1,9 zyxzyx
…
Cuarto caso: 5mod4n
En este caso 5mod51n y es redundante, 5mod382 n , 5mod2123 n y
5mod14 n . Como en los casos anteriores, imponemos la condición
24964 nn
Y vemos que con este valor todas las cinco columnas están cubiertas, es decir, es una segunda
solución al problema.
Quinto caso: 5mod05 n
En este caso tendríamos 5mod11n , es decir, en la primera columna, y por tanto
92911 nn . El primer candidato sería 95n , pero con este valor no podríamos formar
92 (ni 93…), luego no es aceptable.
Así pues, las soluciones de este problema son 24n y 48n .

En el interior de las bases vemos que, fijado un vértice A, podemos formar los triángulos
isósceles ABF (6 triángulos) y ACE (dos triángulos) del siguiente esquema:
con un total de 1628 triángulos.
De una base a la otra, vemos que, fijado un vértice A, podemos formar los triángulos isósceles
ABC y ADE del siguiente esquema:
con un total de 24226 triángulos.
Pero, puesto que la longitud entre vértices opuestos del hexágono es 2, y coincide con la altura,
también los triángulos ABC del siguiente esquema:
con un total de 1226 triángulos.
En total podemos formar 52122416 triángulos isósceles.

Sabemos que la suma de ángulos internos de un polígono de n lados es igual a 2180 n ,
luego en nuestro caso , º720418026180 .
Puesto que es equiangular, cada uno de los ángulos internos medirá º1206
720 .
Podemos dibujar este hexágono mediante regla y transportador de ángulos, y observaremos que
sus lados opuestos son paralelos.
En efecto, prolongando los lados AB y CD hasta encontrarse en un punto G, vemos que
º60º60º60º180º60º120180 BGCBCGCBG
Y por tanto el triángulo BGC es un triángulo equilátero de lado 8.
Por otro lado, º60AGD , y es igual al ángulo suplementario de º120EDG , luego
AB//DE. Y con razonamientos similares se demuestra que EF//BD y AF//CD.
Así pues, cualquier circunferencia en el interior de este hexágono tendrá diámetro máximo la
distancia entre lados opuestos, y vemos que los lados más próximos son AF y CD. Así pues
solo nos queda encontrar la distancia d entre AF y CD.

Primera versión: Mediante recursión pura.
Vamos a resolver este problema de forma recursiva, rellenando, paso a paso, una tabla en la
que las columnas son los puntos finales, y las filas son el número de pasos. En cada casilla
pondremos el número de caminos que hay para llegar al punto final (columna) mediante
caminos de n pasos (fila), siempre saliendo del punto A.
Por ejemplo, en la primera fila hay un 1 en B y en J, porque con caminos de 1 paso, y saliendo
de A, solo podemos llegar a B y a J, y de una sola manera.
En la segunda fila, hay un 1 en la columna A indicando que hay un camino posible de longitud
2 desde A, que es "AJA", un camino posible para llegar a C, que es "ABC", un camino posible
para llegar a F, que es "AJF", y un camino posible para llegar a I, que es "ABI".

puesto que 1143,3 2 , pero en este caso 171601432
y veremos que no es el valor mínimo posible.
222 13111431311143 , y puesto que 113,11 22 , para resolver la congruencia
22 1311mod13 n será suficiente resolver las congruencias 211mod13 a y
213mod13 b por separado.
Paso 1. Resolvemos la congruencia: 211mod13 a
Esta es sencilla. Se puede encontrar por tanteo:
121mod3331 121mod9932
121mod272733 121mod818134
121mod11121224335
El valor mínimo es 5a .
Paso 2. Resolvemos la congruencia: 213mod13 b . Esta es mucho más complicada.
Paso 2.1. Por tanteo ("bash"). Si lo hacemos por tanteo nos vamos a pasar un buen rato
calculando potencias hasta llegar al exponente 39 para encontrar 239 13mod13 :
1→3 2→9 3→27 4→81 5→74
6→53 7→159 8→139 9→79 10→68
11→35 12→105 13→146 14→100 15→131
16→55 17→165 18→157 19→133 20→61
21→14 22→42 23→126 24→40 25→120
26→22 27→66 28→29 29→87 30→92
31→107 32→152 33→118 34→16 35→48
36→144 37→94 38→113 39→1
Paso 2.2. Aplicando el Teorema de Euler. Una indicación nos la puede dar la función Phi de
Euler: 1332132 , luego el orden de 3 módulo 156 será un divisor de 1332156 .
Probando divisores encontramos la solución 13339 .
Paso 2.3. Aplicando el Teorema del binomio.
Observamos que 13mod1313mod13 2 bb .
En efecto: 13mod1311313113313mod13 22 bbb kk
Y la congruencia 13mod13 b tiene fácil solución: 13mod111322733 . Así pues,
cualquier solución de 13mod13 b será múltiple de 3.
Llegados a este punto podríamos aplicar la estrategia 2.2 anterior para llegar a la solución, pero
en su lugar vamos a aplicar el desarrollo binomial.
El número b buscado será múltiplo de 3: cb 3 para cierto entero c , con lo que la
congruencia se transforma en:
22323 13mod12713mod1313mod13 ccc
Ahora aplicamos el desarrollo binomial:
cccc
cc
c
c
c
ccc11321132
1...1132
11132
0
113227113227
011110
Y observamos que, trabajando módulo 213 , cualquier potencia c13 con 2c será (congruente
con) cero.
Así pues, a todos los efectos prácticos:
126113211321
27011
c
c
c
c
cccc
Y por tanto, la congruencia exponencial 213mod127 c se convierte en la congruencia lineal
213mod1126 c
Que se resuelve fácilmente:
222 13mod013213mod02613mod1126 ccc
Para que esta última congruencia se cumpla, es necesario y suficiente que c sea múltiplo de 13.
Así pues, finalmente llegamos a un resultado múltiplo de 3 y múltiplo de 13, y el valor mínimo
posible es 39133 c .
Paso 3. Juntamos las dos congruencias:
Hemos obtenido 25 11mod13 y 239 13mod13 , luego tomando el mínimo común múltiplo
de ambos exponentes: 19539539,5 , tendremos, aplicando 7.5d:
22195
22
25539539195
239395395195
1311mod13
113,11
13mod11333
11mod11333
Que será el valor mínimo posible pues en todos los pasos hemos obtenido los valores mínimos
posibles.
La solución del problema es 159.

Una observación clave para solucionar este problema es que podemos pasar los números de U a
módulo 3:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0
Otra observación clave es que podemos dejar aparcados todos los números que sean
congruentes con 0 módulo 3: 18,15,12,9,6,3R , porque cualquier combinación de números
será múltiple de 3 si y solo si lo es añadiendo cualquier subconjunto de R. Luego nos
olvidamos de los elementos de R y deberemos multiplicar el resultado final por 62R .
Así pues, disponemos del conjunto
1 2 4 5 7 8 10 11 13 14 16 17
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
Y debemos contar todos los subconjuntos cuya suma sea múltiple de 3. Organizaremos el
recuento por número de elementos de dicho subconjunto:
0 elementos:

“12” → 3666

Para resolver este problema nos vamos a basar en los siguientes resultados geométricos:

longitudes de las diagonales y el ángulo que estas determinan (ver GA/9.2.4):

2) El Teorema de Ptolomeo: En todo cuadrilátero cíclico ABCD, el producto de las diagonales
es igual a la suma de los productos de los lados opuestos (ver GA/10.5.7):
ADBCCDABBDAC
3) La fórmula de Parameshavara: El radio de la circunferencia circunscrita se puede determinar
mediante los lados del cuadrilátero inscrito:

Primera versión (Mediante geometría proyectiva).
Sean M y N los puntos de contacto entre el circuncírculo y los lados respectivos AB y AC .
Aplicando el Teorema de Brianchon (ver GA/12.7.5) a los hexágonos tangenciales QNCBMP y
PYQCXB deducimos que las rectas MN, CP, BQ y XY son concurrentes en un punto al que
llamaremos O.
Además, por GA/12.5.3 sabemos que 1,;, XYOA
Por otro lado, sea BCPQZ . La polar de Z es XY, y el punto A pertenece a XY, luego
aplicando el Teorema de La Hire (GA/13.5.2), Z pertenecerá a la polar de A, que es MN, luego
las rectas PQ, MN y BC son concurrentes en un mismo punto Z.
Observamos que tenemos una perspectividad con centro Z, que conservará razón doble, luego:

para )3(f son: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9)3( f
Eliminando algunos otros casos, los valores que puede tomar la función son los siguientes:
Que son lo suficientemente reducidos como para poder separar por casos:
A) 3)3( f .
Hacia delante: 1 camino:
Hacia atrás: 3 caminos:
Total: 3 caminos.
B) 4)3( f
Hacia delante: 3 caminos:
Hacia atrás: 5 caminos:
Total: 15 caminos.
C) 5)3( f
Hacia delante: 6 caminos:
Hacia atrás: 9 caminos:
Total: 54 caminos.
D) 6)3( f
Hacia delante: 7 caminos.
Hacia atrás: 7 caminos.
Total: 49 caminos.
E) 7)3( f
Hacia delante: 9 caminos.
Hacia atrás: 6 caminos.
Total: 54 caminos.
F) 8)3( f
Hacia delante: 5 caminos.
Hacia atrás: 3 caminos.
Total: 15 caminos.
G) 9)3( f
Hacia delante: 3 caminos.
Hacia atrás: 1 camino.
Total: 3 caminos.
Además, debemos descontar las combinaciones que hacen incompatible el
grupo )4(,)3(,)2( fff que son:
6)4(,3)3(,6)2( fff , 6)4(,5)3(,6)2( fff ,
6)4(,4)3(,6)2( fff , 6)4(,3)3(,6)2( fff ,
6)4(,7)3(,6)2( fff , 6)4(,8)3(,6)2( fff ,
6)4(,9)3(,6)2( fff , 7)4(,8)3(,6)2( fff .
Con lo que llegamos finalmente a: 1858315544954153 funciones.
