2018 Middle European Mathematical Olympiad, 2

The two figures depicted below consisting of $6$ and $10$ unit squares, respectively, are called staircases. Consider a $2018\times 2018$ board consisting of $2018^2$ cells, each being a unit square. Two arbitrary cells were removed from the same row of the board. Prove that the rest of the board cannot be cut (along the cell borders) into staircases (possibly rotated).

2013 Macedonia National Olympiad, 2

$ 2^n $ coins are given to a couple of kids. Interchange of the coins occurs when some of the kids has at least half of all the coins. Then from the coins of one of those kids to the all other kids are given that much coins as the kid already had. In case when all the coins are at one kid there is no possibility for interchange. What is the greatest possible number of consecutive interchanges? ($ n $ is natural number)

2009 ITAMO, 3

A natural number $k$ is said $n$-squared if by colouring the squares of a $2n \times k$ chessboard, in any manner, with $n$ different colours, we can find $4$ separate unit squares of the same colour, the centers of which are vertices of a rectangle having sides parallel to the sides of the board. Determine, in function of $n$, the smallest natural $k$ that is $n$-squared.

2004 Regional Competition For Advanced Students, 4

The sequence $ < x_n >$ is defined through: $ x_{n \plus{} 1} \equal{} \left(\frac {n}{2004} \plus{} \frac {1}{n}\right)x_n^2 \minus{} \frac {n^3}{2004} \plus{} 1$ for $ n > 0$ Let $ x_1$ be a non-negative integer smaller than $ 204$ so that all members of the sequence are non-negative integers. Show that there exist infinitely many prime numbers in this sequence.

2013 Dutch IMO TST, 4

Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer, and consider a $n \times n$-board, divided into $n^2$ unit squares. For all $m \ge 1$, arbitrarily many $1\times m$-rectangles (type I) and arbitrarily many $m\times 1$-rectangles (type II) are available. We cover the board with $N$ such rectangles, without overlaps, and such that every rectangle lies entirely inside the board. We require that the number of type I rectangles used is equal to the number of type II rectangles used.(Note that a $1 \times 1$-rectangle has both types.) What is the minimal value of $N$ for which this is possible?

Consider a triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ with $AB = 7$, $BC = 8$, $CA = 9$, and area $12\sqrt5$. We draw squares on each sides, namely $BCD_2D_1$, $CAE_2E_1$ and $ABF_2F_1$, so that the interiors of the squares do not intersect the interior of the triangle. What is the area of $\vartriangle D_2E_2F_2$?
