Three persons $A,B,C$, are playing the following game:
A $k$-element subset of the set $\{1, . . . , 1986\}$ is randomly chosen, with an equal probability of each choice, where $k$ is a fixed positive integer less than or equal to $1986$. The winner is $A,B$ or $C$, respectively, if the sum of the chosen numbers leaves a remainder of $0, 1$, or $2$ when divided by $3$.
For what values of $k$ is this game a fair one? (A game is fair if the three outcomes are equally probable.)

There are lamps in every field of $n\times n$ table. At start all the lamps are off. A move consists of chosing $m$ consecutive fields in a row or a column and changing the status of that $m$ lamps. Prove that you can reach a state in which all the lamps are on only if $m$ divides $n.$

You are given $n$ different primes $p_1, p_2,..., p_n$. Consider the polynomial $$x^n + a_1x^{n -1} + a_2x^{n - 2} + ...+ a_{n - 1}x + a_n$$, where $a_i$ is the product of the first $i$ given prime numbers. For what $n$ can it have an integer root?

Jason rolls three fair standard six-sided dice. Then he looks at the rolls and chooses a subset of the dice (possibly empty, possibly all three dice) to reroll. After rerolling, he wins if and only if the sum of the numbers face up on the three dice is exactly $7$. Jason always plays to optimize his chances of winning. What is the probability that he chooses to reroll exactly two of the dice?

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle such that $AB<AC$ and $AB<BC$. Let $P$ be a point on the segment $BC$ such that $\angle APB = \angle BAC$. The tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ at $A$ meets the circumcircle of triangle $APB$ at $Q \neq A$. Let $Q'$ be the reflection of $Q$ with respect to the midpoint of $AB$. The line $PQ$ meets the segment $AQ'$ at $S$. Prove that

Assume that $ R$, a recursive, binary relation on $ \mathbb{N}$ (the set of natural numbers), orders $ \mathbb{N}$ into type $ \omega$. Show that if $ f(n)$ is the $ n$th element of this order, then $ f$ is not necessarily recursive.

Richard likes to solve problems from the IMO Shortlist. In 2013, Richard solves $5$ problems each Saturday and $7$ problems each Sunday. He has school on weekdays, so he ``only'' solves $2$, $1$, $2$, $1$, $2$ problems on each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, respectively -- with the exception of December 3, 2013, where he solved $60$ problems out of boredom. Altogether, how many problems does Richard solve in 2013?
