Several diagonals (possibly intersecting each other) are drawn in a convex $n$-gon in such a way that no three diagonals intersect in one point. If the $n$-gon is cut into triangles, what is the maximum possible number of these triangles?

Consider an infinite plane divided into unit squares by horizontal and vertical lines. A coloring of some cells in this grid is called a $\emph{net coloring}$ if the centers of the colored squares coincide with the intersection points of an infinite family of equally spaced parallel lines and another directed and equally spaced infinite family of lines. The distance between the centers of the nearest colored squares is called the size of the $\emph{net coloring}.$ Determine all natural numbers \(N\) for which it is possible to color all these unit squares using \(N\) colors such that the following conditions are met: $\bullet$ Each color is used to color at least one square. $\bullet$The coloring for every color forms a $\emph{net coloring}.$ $\bullet$ The sizes of each of the \(N\) $\emph{net colorings}$ are equal.

Let $n> 2$ be a natural number. We consider $n$ candy bags, each containing exactly one candy. Ali and Omar play the following game in which they move alternately (Ali moves the first): At each move, the player who has to make a move chooses two bags containing $x$, respectively $y$ candy, with $(x,y)=1$, and he puts the $x + y$ candies in one bag (he chooses where). The player who can't make a move loses. Which of the two players has a strategy to win this game?

$n\ge 2$ teams participated in an underwater polo tournament, each two teams played exactly once against each other. A team receives $2, 1, 0$ points for a win, draw, and loss correspondingly. It turned out that all teams got distinct numbers of points. In the final standings, the teams were ordered by the total number of points. A few days later, organizers realized that the results in the final standings were wrong due to technical issues: in fact, each match that ended with a draw according to them in fact had a winner, and each match with a winner in fact ended with a draw. It turned out that all teams still had distinct number of points! They corrected the standings and ordered them by the total number of points. For which $n$ could the correct order turn out to be the reversed initial order? [i](Proposed by Fedir Yudin)[/i]

Let $k$ be a positive integer. A sequence of integers $a_1, a_2, \cdots$ is called $k$-pop if the following holds: for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $a_n$ is equal to the number of distinct elements in the set $\{a_1, \cdots , a_{n+k} \}$. Determine, as a function of $k$, how many $k$-pop sequences there are. [i]Proposed by Sutanay Bhattacharya[/i]

Let $AM$ and $AN$ be the lines tangent to a circle $\Gamma$ drawn from a point $A$ $(M$ and $N$ belong to the circle). A line through $A$ cuts $\Gamma$ at $B$ and $C$ with $B$ between $A$ and $C$, and $\frac{AB}{BC} =\frac23$. If $P$ is the intersection point of $AB$ and $MN$, calculate $\frac{AP}{CP}$.

Given a triangle $ABC$ and three circles $x$, $y$ and $z$ such that $A \in y \cap z$, $B \in z \cap x$ and $C \in x \cap y$. The circle $x$ intersects the line $AC$ at the points $X_b$ and $C$, and intersects the line $AB$ at the points $X_c$ and $B$. The circle $y$ intersects the line $BA$ at the points $Y_c$ and $A$, and intersects the line $BC$ at the points $Y_a$ and $C$. The circle $z$ intersects the line $CB$ at the points $Z_a$ and $B$, and intersects the line $CA$ at the points $Z_b$ and $A$. (Yes, these definitions have the symmetries you would expect.) Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of the segments $Y_a Z_a$, $Z_b X_b$ and $X_c Y_c$ concur.
