Initially, there are $n$ red boxes numbered with the numbers $1,2,\dots ,n$ and $n$ white boxes numbered with the numbers $1,2,\dots ,n$ on the table. At every move, we choose $2$ different colored boxes and put a ball on each of them. After some moves, every pair of the same numbered boxes has the property of either the number of balls from the red one is $6$ more than the number of balls from the white one or the number of balls from the white one is $16$ more than the number of balls from the red one. With that given information find all possible values of $n$

The infinite sequence $a_0,a _1, a_2, \dots$ of (not necessarily distinct) integers has the following properties: $0\le a_i \le i$ for all integers $i\ge 0$, and \[\binom{k}{a_0} + \binom{k}{a_1} + \dots + \binom{k}{a_k} = 2^k\] for all integers $k\ge 0$. Prove that all integers $N\ge 0$ occur in the sequence (that is, for all $N\ge 0$, there exists $i\ge 0$ with $a_i=N$).

2009 Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Qualification Repechage, 10

Ten boxes are arranged in a circle. Each box initially contains a positive number of golf balls. A move consists of taking all of the golf balls from one of the boxes and placing them into the boxes that follow it in a counterclockwise direction, putting one ball into each box. Prove that if the next move always starts with the box where the last ball of the previous move was placed, then after some number of moves, we get back to the initial distribution of golf balls in the boxes.

Fixed points $B$ and $C$ are on a fixed circle $\omega$ and point $A$ varies on this circle. We call the midpoint of arc $BC$ (not containing $A$) $D$ and the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$, $H$. Line $DH$ intersects circle $\omega$ again in $K$. Tangent in $A$ to circumcircle of triangle $AKH$ intersects line $DH$ and circle $\omega$ again in $L$ and $M$ respectively. Prove that the value of $\frac{AL}{AM}$ is constant. [i]Proposed by Mehdi E'tesami Fard[/i]

In a $ 2\times 7$ board gridded in $1\times 1$ squares, the $24$ points that are vertices of the squares are considered. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/e/841f11ef9d6fc27cdbe7c91bab6d52d12180e8.gif[/img] Juan and Matías play on this board. Juan paints red the same number of points on each of the three horizontal lines. If Matthias can choose three red dots that are vertices of an acute triangle, Matthias wins the game. What is the maximum number of dots Juan can color in to make sure Matías doesn't win? (For the number found, give an example of coloring that prevents Matías from winning and justify why if the number is greater, Matías can always win.)

Al and Bill play a game involving a fair six-sided die. The die is rolled until either there is a number less than $5$ rolled on consecutive tosses, or there is a number greater than $4$ on consecutive tosses. Al wins if the last roll is a $5$ or $6$. Bill wins if the last roll is a $2$ or lower. Let $m$ and $n$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $m/n$ is the probability that Bill wins. Find the value of $m+n$.

The Nationwide Basketball Society (NBS) has $8001$ teams, numbered $2000$ through $10000$. For each $n$, team $n$ has $n+1$ players, and in a sheer coincidence, this year each player attempted $n$ shots and on team $n$, exactly one player made $0$ shots, one player made $1$ shot, . . ., one player made $n$ shots. A player's [i]field goal percentage[/i] is defined as the percentage of shots the player made, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (For instance, $32.45\%$ rounds to $32.5\%$). A player in the NBS is randomly selected among those whose field goal percentage is $66.6\%$. If this player plays for team $k$, the probability that $k\geq 6000$ can be expressed as $\tfrac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$. Find $p+q$.
