Alan has three pins that form a right triangle with legs $1$ and $4$ at first. Every move, he can pick any one of the pins, pick any new point $\mathcal{P}$ on the opposite side, and move the pin to its $\textit{reflection}$ across $\mathcal{P}$. After a series of moves, can the pins eventually form a right triangle with legs $2$ and $3$?

Find all positive integers $n$ for which there exists a polynomial $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ such that for every positive integer $m\geq 1$, the numbers $P^m(1), \ldots, P^m(n)$ leave exactly $\lceil n/2^m\rceil$ distinct remainders when divided by $n$.

An organization has $30$ employees, $20$ of whom have a brand A computer while the other $10$ have a brand B computer. For security, the computers can only be connected to each other and only by cables. The cables can only connect a brand A computer to a brand B computer. Employees can communicate with each other if their computers are directly connected by a cable or by relaying messages through a series of connected computers. Initially, no computer is connected to any other. A technician arbitrarily selects one computer of each brand and installs a cable between them, provided there is not already a cable between that pair. The technician stops once every employee can communicate with each other. What is the maximum possible number of cables used? $\textbf{(A)}\ 190 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 191 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 192 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 195 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 196$

In quadrilateral $ABCD$ sides $BC$ and $AD$ are parallel. In each of the four vertices we draw an angular bisector. The angular bisectors of angles $A$ and $B$ intersect in point $P$, those of angles $B$ and $C$ intersect in point $Q$, those of angles $C$ and $D$ intersect in point $R$, and those of angles $D$ and $A$ intersect in point S.

We say that a set $S$ of natural numbers is [i]synchronous [/i] provided that the digits of $a^2$ are the same (in occurence and numbers, if differently ordered) for all numbers $a$ in $S$. For example, $\{13, 14, 31\}$ is synchronous, since we find $\{13^2, 14^2, 31^2\} = \{169, 196, 961\}$. But $\{119, 121\}$ is not synchronous, for even though $119^2 = 14161$ and $121^2 = 14641$ have the same digits, they occur in different numbers. Show that there exists a synchronous set containing $2021$ different natural numbers.
