Abstract

Several difficult problems and thier solutions will be presented. I will give the solution of the problem

a, b, c > 0

implies

a/(a2 + 8bc)1/2 + b/(b2 + 8ac)1/2 + c/(c2 + 8ab)1/2 > 1

The solution was furnished by a student from China who used the 480th power of the left hand side in the proof.
