2023 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 11.4

We write pairs of integers on a blackboard. Initially, the pair $(1,2)$ is written. On a move, if $(a, b)$ is on the blackboard, we can add $(-a, -b)$ or $(-b, a+b)$. In addition, if $(a, b)$ and $(c, d)$ are written on the blackboard, we can add $(a+c, b+d)$. Can we reach $(2022, 2023)$?

A wishing well is located at the point $(11,11)$ in the $xy$-plane. Rachelle randomly selects an integer $y$ from the set $\left\{ 0, 1, \dots, 10 \right\}$. Then she randomly selects, with replacement, two integers $a,b$ from the set $\left\{ 1,2,\dots,10 \right\}$. The probability the line through $(0,y)$ and $(a,b)$ passes through the well can be expressed as $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.

2024/2025 TOURNAMENT OF TOWNS, P1

On the blackboard, there are numbers $1, 2, \dots , 100$. At each move, Bob erases arbitrary two numbers $a$ and $b$, where $a \ge b > 0$, and writes the single number $\lfloor{a/b}\rfloor$. After $99$ such moves the blackboard will contain a single number. What is its maximum possible value? (Reminder that $\lfloor{x}\rfloor$ is the maximum integer not exceeding $x$.)

On an $n\times n$ chart, where $n \geq 4$, stand "$+$" signs in the cells of the main diagonal and "$-$" signs in all the other cells. You can change all the signs in one row or in one column, from $-$ to $+$ or from $+$ to $-$. Prove that you will always have $n$ or more $+$ signs after finitely many operations.

A given triangle is divided into $n$ triangles in such a way that any line segment which is a side of a tiling triangle is either a side of another tiling triangle or a side of the given triangle. Let $s$ be the total number of sides and $v$ be the total number of vertices of the tiling triangles (counted without multiplicity). (a) Show that if $n$ is odd then such divisions are possible, but each of them has the same number $v$ of vertices and the same number $s$ of sides. Express $v$ and $s$ as functions of $n$. (b) Show that, for $n$ even, no such tiling is possible

Eva, Per and Anna play with their pocket calculators. They choose different integers and check, whether or not they are divisible by ${11}$. They only look at nine-digit numbers consisting of all the digits ${1, 2, . . . , 9}$. Anna claims that the probability of such a number to be a multiple of ${11}$ is exactly ${1/11}$. Eva has a different opinion: she thinks the probability is less than ${1/11}$. Per thinks the probability is more than ${1/11}$. Who is correct?
