- Albert and Betty are playing the following game. There are $100$ blue balls in a red bowl and $100$ red balls in a blue bowl. In each turn a player must make one of the following moves:
- Take two red balls from the blue bowl and put them in the red bowl.
- Take two blue balls from the red bowl and put them in the blue bowl.
- Take two balls of different colors from one bowl and throw the balls away.
- What is the least posssible number of cells that can be marked on an $n \times n$ board such that for each $m >\frac{ n}{2}$ both diagonals of any $m \times m$ sub-board contain a marked cell?
- In a country there are $100$ airports. Super-Air operates direct flights between some pairs of airports (in both directions). The traffic of an airport is the number of airports it has a direct Super-Air connection with. A new company, Concur-Air, establishes a direct flight between two airports if and only if the sum of their traffics is at least $100.$ It turns out that there exists a round-trip of Concur-Air flights that lands in every airport exactly once. Show that then there also exists a round-trip of Super-Air flights that lands in every airport exactly once.
- Let $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle of an acute triangle $ABC.$ The perpendicular to $AB$ from $C$ meets $AB$ at $D$ and $\Gamma$ again at $E.$ The bisector of angle $C$ meets $AB$ at $F$ and $\Gamma$ again at $G.$ The line $GD$ meets $\Gamma$ again at $H$ and the line $HF$ meets $\Gamma$ again at $I.$ Prove that $AI = EB.$

- Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the line $BD$ bisects the angle $ABC.$ The circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ intersects the sides $AD$ and $CD$ in the points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The line through $D$ and parallel to $AC$ intersects the lines $BC$ and $BA$ at the points $R$ and $S,$ respectively. Prove that the points $P, Q, R$ and $S$ lie on a common circle.

- Do there exist pairwise distinct rational numbers $x, y$ and $z$ such that \[\frac{1}{(x - y)^2}+\frac{1}{(y - z)^2}+\frac{1}{(z - x)^2}= 2014?\]
- Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $n$ be a positive integer. Find the number of quadruples $(a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4)$ with $a_i\in \{0, 1, \ldots, p^n - 1\}$ for $i = 1, 2, 3, 4$, such that \[p^n \mid (a_1a_2 + a_3a_4 + 1).\]
