We construct an infinite group with an ordinary finite presentation in which every element has finite order, answering the finitely presented Burnside question negatively. We also construct an infinite-dimensional finitely presented nonunital nil associative algebra over 𝔽 2 that is Jacobson radical but not nilpotent. Its unitization is finitely presented, algebraic, and infinite-dimensional. These algebras answer the finitely presented nil- and radical-algebra nilpotence questions and the finite-presentation version of Kurosh's algebraic finiteness question negatively.
