A finite sequence of three-digit integers has the property that the tens and units digits of each terms are, respectively, the hundreds and tens digits of the next term, and the tens and units digits of the last term are, respectively, the hundreds and tens digits of the first term. For example, such a sequence might begin with terms $ 247$, $ 475$, and $ 756$ and end with the term $ 824$. Let $ S$ be the sum of all the terms in the sequence. What is the largest prime number that always divides $ S$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 7 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 13 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 37 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 43$

Johann and Nicole are playing a game on the coordinate plane. First, Johann draws any polygon $\mathcal{S}$ and then Nicole can shift $\mathcal{S}$ to wherever she wants. Johann wins if there exists a point with coordinates $(x, y)$ in the interior of $\mathcal{S}$, where $x$ and $y$ are coprime integers. Otherwise, Nicole wins. Determine who has a winning strategy.

On each square of an $n$x$n$ board sleeps a dragon. Two dragons are called neighbors if their squares have a side in common. Each turn, Minnie wakes up a dragon which has a living neighbor and Max directs it towards one of its living neighbors. The dragon than breathes fire on that neighbor and destroys it, and then goes back to sleep. Minnie's goal is to minimize the snoring of the dragons and leave as few living dragons as possible. Max is a member of PETD (People for the Ethical Treatment of Dragons), and he wants to save as many dragons as he can. How many dragons will stay alive at the end if 1. $n=4$? 2. $n=5$?

2013 National Olympiad First Round, 28

In the beginning, there is a pair of positive integers $(m,n)$ written on the board. Alice and Bob are playing a turn-based game with the following move. At each turn, a player erases one of the numbers written on the board, and writes a different positive number not less than the half of the erased one. If a player cannot write a new number at some turn, he/she loses the game. For how many starting pairs $(m,n)$ from the pairs $(7,79)$, $(17,71)$, $(10,101)$, $(21,251)$, $(50,405)$, can Alice guarantee to win when she makes the first move? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 4 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{None of above} $
