Let $S$ be the set of all points $t$ in the closed interval $[-1, 1]$ such that for the sequence $x_0, x_1, x_2, ...$ defined by the equations $x_0 = t, x_{n+1} = 2x_n^2-1$, there exists a positive integer $N$ such that $x_n = 1$ for all $n \ge N$. Show that the set $S$ has infinitely many elements.

$k$ vertices of a regular $n$-gon $P$ are coloured. A colouring is called almost uniform if for every positive integer $m$ the following condition is satisfied: If $M_1$ is a set of m consecutive vertices of $P$ and $M_2$ is another such set then the number of coloured vertices of $M_1$ differs from the number of coloured vertices of $M_2$ at most by $1$. Prove that for all positive integers $k$ and $n$ ($k \le n$) an almost uniform colouring exists and that it is unique within a rotation. (M Kontsevich, Moscow)

A token starts at the point $(0,0)$ of an $xy$-coordinate grid and them makes a sequence of six moves. Each move is $1$ unit in a direction parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Each move is selected randomly from the four possible directions and independently of the other moves. The probability the token ends at a point on the graph of $|y|=|x|$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

For a positive integer $n$ we denote by $s(n)$ the sum of the digits of $n$. Let $P(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_1x+a_0$ be a polynomial, where $n \geqslant 2$ and $a_i$ is a positive integer for all $0 \leqslant i \leqslant n-1$. Could it be the case that, for all positive integers $k$, $s(k)$ and $s(P(k))$ have the same parity?
