2024 Taiwan TST Round 2, N

For any positive integer $n$, consider its binary representation. Denote by $f(n)$ the number we get after removing all the $0$'s in its binary representation, and $g(n)$ the number of $1$'s in the binary representation. For example, $f(19) = 7$ and $g(19) = 3.$ Find all positive integers $n$ that satisfy $$n = f(n)^{g(n)}.$$ [i] Proposed by usjl[/i]

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle. Let $D$ be the point on $BC$ such that $DA$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $ABC$. Let $E$ be the point on the circumcircle of $ABC$ such that $DE$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $ABC$, but $E \ne A$. Let $F$ be the intersection of $AE$ and $BC$. Given that $BF/F C = 4/5$, find the maximum possible value for $\sin \angle ACB$/

In the triangle $ABC$ the edge $BC$ has length $a$, the edge $AC$ length $b$, and the edge $AB$ length $c$. Extend all the edges at both ends – by the length $a$ from the vertex $A, b$ from $B$, and $c$ from $C$. Show that the six endpoints of the extended edges all lie on a common circle.

A $2024$-[i]table [/i]is a table with two rows and $2024$ columns containg all the numbers $1,2,\dots,4048$. Such a table is [i]evenly coloured[/i] if exactly half of the numbers in each row, and one number in each column, is coloured red. The [i]red sum[/i] in an evenly coloured $2024$-table is the sum of all the red numbers in the table. Let $N$ be the largest number such that every $2024$-table has an even colouring with red sum $\ge N$. Determine $N$, and find the number of $2024$-tables such that every even colouring of the table has red sum $\le N$.

Peter buys a lottery ticket on which he enters an $n$-digit number, none of the digits being $0$. On the draw date, the lottery administrators will reveal an $n\times n$ table, each cell containing one of the digits from $1$ to $9$. A ticket wins a prize if it does not match any row or column of this table, read in either direction. Peter wants to bribe the administrators to reveal the digits on some cells chosen by Peter, so that Peter can guarantee to have a winning ticket. What is the minimum number of digits Peter has to know?

2019 Costa Rica - Final Round, 1

In a faraway place in the Universe, a villain has a medal with special powers and wants to hide it so that no one else can use it. For this, the villain hides it in a vertex of a regular polygon with $2019$ sides. Olcoman, the savior of the Olcomita people, wants to get the medal to restore peace in the Universe, for which you have to pay $1000$ olcolones for each time he makes the following move: on each turn he chooses a vertex of the polygon, which turns green if the medal is on it or in one of the four vertices closest to it, or otherwise red. Find the fewest olcolones Olcoman needs to determine with certainty the position of the medal.
