2017 Iran MO (2nd Round), 5

There are five smart kids sitting around a round table. Their teacher says: "I gave a few apples to some of you, and none of you have the same amount of apple. Also each of you will know the amount of apple that the person to your left and the person to your right has." The teacher tells the total amount of apples, then asks the kids to guess the difference of the amount of apple that the two kids in front of them have. $a)$ If the total amount of apples is less than $16$, prove that at least one of the kids will guess the difference correctly. $b)$ Prove that the teacher can give the total of $16$ apples such that no one can guess the difference correctly.

2004 Manhattan Mathematical Olympiad, 3

A prison has $2004$ cells, numbered $1$ through $2004$. A jailer, carrying out the terms of a partial amnesty, unlocked every cell. Next he locked every second cell. Then he turned the key in every third cell, locking the opened cells, and unlocking the locked ones. He continued this way, on $n^{\text{th}}$ trip, turning the key in every $n^{\text{th}}$ cell, and he finished his mission after $2004$ trips. How many prisoners were released?

II Soros Olympiad 1995 - 96 (Russia), 11.10

One eastern country was ruled by an old Shah. The population of the country consisted of inhabitants and satraps. Each resident had his own place of residence (place of registration). Satraps moved around the country and carried out the decrees of the Shah. One day the Shah issued a decree containing the following points: 1) Some residents are bandits. 2) Every bandit must be destroyed. 3) Together with the bandit, all those residents who are located closer to the bandit than the Shah (in other words, than the location of the Shah’s palace) must be destroyed. Finding out which of the residents was a bandit was entrusted to the Shah's adviser, known for his connections with one hostile state. Prove that: a) if the country in question is on a plane, then the adviser has the opportunity to declare no more than six inhabitants bandits in such a way that all inhabitants of the country must be destroyed in accordance with the decrees; b) if the country is located on a sphere, then you can get by with five bandits.

2014 IMO Shortlist, C4

Construct a tetromino by attaching two $2 \times 1$ dominoes along their longer sides such that the midpoint of the longer side of one domino is a corner of the other domino. This construction yields two kinds of tetrominoes with opposite orientations. Let us call them $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, respectively. Assume that a lattice polygon $P$ can be tiled with $S$-tetrominoes. Prove that no matter how we tile $P$ using only $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, we always use an even number of $Z$-tetrominoes.
