2019 Bulgaria EGMO TST, 3

$A$ and $B$ play a game, given an integer $N$, $A$ writes down $1$ first, then every player sees the last number written and if it is $n$ then in his turn he writes $n+1$ or $2n$, but his number cannot be bigger than $N$. The player who writes $N$ wins. For which values of $N$ does $B$ win? [i]Proposed by A. Slinko & S. Marshall, New Zealand[/i]

2013 Princeton University Math Competition, 3

A graph consists of a set of vertices, some of which are connected by (undirected) edges. A [i]star[/i] of a graph is a set of edges with a common endpoint. A [i]matching[/i] of a graph is a set of edges such that no two have a common endpoint. Show that if the number of edges of a graph $G$ is larger than $2(k-1)^2$, then $G$ contains a matching of size $k$ or a star of size $k$.

2009 Puerto Rico Team Selection Test, 2

In each box of a $ 1 \times 2009$ grid, we place either a $ 0$ or a $ 1$, such that the sum of any $ 90$ consecutive boxes is $ 65$. Determine all possible values of the sum of the $ 2009$ boxes in the grid.

2020 AIME Problems, 15

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. The tangents to $\omega$ at $B$ and $C$ intersect at $T$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be the projections of $T$ onto lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Suppose $BT=CT=16$, $BC=22$, and $TX^2+TY^2+XY^2=1143$. Find $XY^2$.
