The net of 20 triangles shown below can be folded to form a regular icosahedron. Inside each of the triangular faces, write a number from 1 to 20 with each number used exactly once. Any pair of numbers that are consecutive must be written on faces sharing an edge in the folded icosahedron, and additionally, 1 and 20 must also be on faces sharing an edge. Some numbers have been given to you. (No proof is necessary.)

Given points $P$ and $Q$, Jaqueline has a ruler that allows tracing the line $PQ$. Jaqueline also has a special object that allows the construction of a circle of diameter $PQ$. Also, always when two circles (or a circle and a line, or two lines) intersect, she can mark the points of the intersection with a pencil and trace more lines and circles using these dispositives by the points marked. Initially, she has an acute scalene triangle $ABC$. Show that Jaqueline can construct the incenter of $ABC$.

Indra has a bag for bringing flowers for her grandmother. The first day she brings $n$ flowers. From the second day Indra tries to bring three times plus one with respect to the number of flowers of the previous day. However, if this number is greater or equal to $40$, Indra substracts multiples of $40$ until the remainder is less than this number, since her bag cannot containt so many flowers. For which value of $n$ Indra will bring $30$ flowers the day $2016$?

Let $(a,b)$ be a pair of natural numbers. Henning and Paul play the following game. At the beginning there are two piles of $a$ and $b$ coins respectively. We say that $(a,b)$ is the [i]starting position [/i]of the game. Henning and Paul play with the following rules: $\bullet$ They take turns alternatively where Henning begins. $\bullet$ In every step each player either takes a positive integer number of coins from one of the two piles or takes same natural number of coins from both piles. $\bullet$ The player how take the last coin wins. Let $A$ be the set of all positive integers like $a$ for which there exists a positive integer $b<a$ such that Paul has a wining strategy for the starting position $(a,b)$. Order the elements of $A$ to construct a sequence $a_1<a_2<a_3<\dots$ $(a)$ Prove that $A$ has infinity many elements. $(b)$ Prove that the sequence defined by $m_k:=a_{k+1}-a_{k}$ will never become periodic. (This means the sequence $m_{k_0+k}$ will not be periodic for any choice of $k_0$)
