A criminal is at point $X$, and three policemen at points $A, B$ and $C$ block him up, i.e. the point $X$ lies inside the triangle $ABC$. Each evening one of the policemen is replaced in the following way: a new policeman takes the position equidistant from three former policemen, after this one of the former policemen goes away so that three remaining policemen block up the criminal too. May the policemen after some time occupy again the points $A, B$ and $C$ (it is known that at any moment $X$ does not lie on a side of the triangle)? by V.Protasov

During your turn, you determine how many steps forward (which is in the counterclockwise direction) to move by rolling two standard $6$-sided dice. Let $S$ be the set of squares on the board such that if you are initially on a square in $S$, no matter what you roll with the dice, you will always either land on Go (move forward enough squares such that you end up on Go) or you pass Go (you move forward enough squares such that you step on Go during your move and then you advance past Go).

[b]p11.[/b] Julia and Dan want to divide up $256$ dollars in the following way: in the first round, Julia will offer Dan some amount of money, and Dan can choose to accept or reject the offer. If Dan accepts, the game is over. Otherwise, if Dan rejects, half of the money disappears. In the second round, Dan can offer Julia part of the remaining money. Julia can then choose to accept or reject the offer. This process goes on until an offer is accepted or until $4$ rejections have been made; once $4$ rejections are made, all of the money will disappear, and the bargaining process ends. If Julia or Dan is indifferent between accepting and rejecting an offer, they will accept the offer. Given that Julia and Dan are both rational and both have the goal of maximizing the amount of money they get, how much will Julia offer Dan in the first round? [b]p12.[/b] A perfect partition of a positive integer $N$ is an unordered set of numbers (where numbers can be repeated) that sum to $N$ with the property that there is a unique way to express each positive integer less than $N$ as a sum of elements of the set. Repetitions of elements of the set are considered identical for the purpose of uniqueness. For example, the only perfect partitions of $3$ are $\{1, 1, 1\}$ and $\{1, 2\}$. $\{1, 1, 3, 4\}$ is NOT a perfect partition of $9$ because the sum $4$ can be achieved in two different ways: $4$ and $1 + 3$. How many integers $1 \le N \le 40$ each have exactly one perfect partition? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Daniel writes over a board, from top to down, a list of positive integer numbers less or equal to 10. Next to each number of Daniel's list, Martin writes the number of times exists this number into the Daniel's list making a list with the same length. If we read the Martin's list from down to top, we get the same list of numbers that Daniel wrote from top to down. Find the greatest length of the Daniel's list can have.

The NEMO (National Electronic Math Olympiad) is similar to the NIMO Summer Contest, in that there are fifteen problems, each worth a set number of points. However, the NEMO is weighted using Fibonacci numbers; that is, the $n^{\text{th}}$ problem is worth $F_n$ points, where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \ge 3$. The two problem writers are fair people, so they make sure that each of them is responsible for problems worth an equal number of total points. Compute the number of ways problem writing assignments can be distributed between the two writers. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
