Tarik and Sultan are playing the following game. Tarik thinks of a number that is greater than $100$. Then Sultan is telling a number greater than $1$. If Tarik’s number is divisible by Sultan’s number, Sultan wins, otherwise Tarik subtracts Sultan’s number from his number and Sultan tells his next number. Sultan is forbidden to repeat his numbers. If Tarik’s number becomes negative, Sultan loses. Does Sultan have a winning strategy?

For a positive integer $ n>2$, let $ \left(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}\right)$ be a sequence of $ n$ positive reals which is either non-decreasing (this means, we have $ a_{1}\leq a_{2}\leq \ldots \leq a_{n}$) or non-increasing (this means, we have $ a_{1}\geq a_{2}\geq \ldots \geq a_{n}$), and which satisfies $ a_{1}\neq a_{n}$. Let $ x$ and $ y$ be positive reals satisfying $ \frac{x}{y}\geq \frac{a_{1}-a_{2}}{a_{1}-a_{n}}$. Show that: \[ \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}\cdot x+a_{3}\cdot y}+\frac{a_{2}}{a_{3}\cdot x+a_{4}\cdot y}+\ldots+\frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n}\cdot x+a_{1}\cdot y}+\frac{a_{n}}{a_{1}\cdot x+a_{2}\cdot y}\geq \frac{n}{x+y}. \]

In $\triangle{ABC}$ with $\angle{BAC}=60^\circ,$ points $D, E,$ and $F$ lie on $BC, AC,$ and $AB$ respectively, such that $D$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and $\triangle{DEF}$ is equilateral. If $BF=1$ and $EC=13,$ then the area of $\triangle{DEF}$ can be written as $\tfrac{a\sqrt{b}}{c},$ where $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by a square of a prime. Compute $a+b+c.$

Let $O$ be a point (in the plane) and $T$ be an infinite set of points such that $|P_1P_2| \le 2012$ for every two distinct points $P_1,P_2\in T$. Let $S(T)$ be the set of points $Q$ in the plane satisfying $|QP| \le 2013$ for at least one point $P\in T$. Now let $L$ be the set of lines containing exactly one point of $S(T)$.

A graph contains $p$ vertices numbered from $1$ to $p$, and $q$ edges numbered from $p + 1$ to $p + q$. It turned out that for each edge the sum of the numbers of its ends and of the edge itself equals the same number $s$. It is also known that the numbers of edges starting in all vertices are equal. Prove that \[s = \dfrac{1}{2} (4p+q+3).\]

2022 Princeton University Math Competition, A2 / B3

Anna and Bob play the following game. In the beginning, Bob writes down the numbers $1, 2, ... , 2022$ on a piece of paper, such that half of the numbers are on the left and half on the right. Furthermore, we assume that the $1011$ numbers on both sides are written in some order. After Bob does this, Anna has the opportunity to swap the positions of the two numbers lying on different sides of the paper if they have different parity. Anna wins if, after finitely many moves, all odd numbers end up on the left, in increasing order, and all even ones end up on the right, in increasing order. Can Bob write down a arrangement of numbers for which Anna cannot win? For example, Bob could write down numbers in the following way: $$4, 2, 5, 7, 9, ... , 2021\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\, 3, 1, 6, 8, 10, ... , 2022$$ Then Anna could swap the numbers $1, 4$ and then swap $2, 3$ to win. However, if Anna swapped the pairs $3, 4$ and $1, 2$, the resulting numbers on the left and on the right would not be in increasing order, and hence Anna would not win.

Five squirrels together have a supply of 2022 nuts. On the first day 2 nuts are added, on the second day 4 nuts, on the third day 6 nuts and so on, i.e. on each further day 2 nuts more are added than on the day before. At the end of any day the squirrels divide the stock among themselves. Is it possible that they all receive the same number of nuts and that no nut is left over?
