The UW math department (students) used to have a challenge of the week where they would post high school/undergraduate level math problems. The winner would be selected randomly from the list of correct solvers, and given a gift certificate to Baskin Robbins!
Here is one problem:
Suppose x1,x2,…,xn are real numbers such that
x1+x2+⋯+xn=0
and
x21+x22+⋯+x2n=1
Show that there are some i,j such that xixj≤−1n
[Solution]
