Petya and Kolya play the following game: they take turns changing one of the coefficients $a$ or $b$ of the quadratic trinomial $f = x^2 + ax + b$: Petya is on $1$, Kolya is on $1$ or $3$. Kolya wins if after the move of one of the players a trinomial is obtained that has whole roots. Is it true that Kolya can win for any initial integer odds $a$ and $b$ regardless of Petya's game?
[hide=original wording]Петя и Коля играют в следующую игру: они по очереди изменяют один из коэффициентов a или b квадратного трехчлена f = x^2 + ax + b: Петя на 1, Коля- на 1 или на 3. Коля выигрывает, если после хода одного из игроков получается трехчлен, имеющий целые корни. Верно ли,
что Коля может выигратьпр и любых начальных целых коэффициентах a и b независимо от игры Пети?[/hide]

Denote $\textrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$ and $\textrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z})$
the sets of matrices with $2$ rows and $2$ columns, respectively with $3$ rows and $3$ columns, with integer entries and their determinant equal to $1$.
$\textbf{(a)}$ Let $N$ be a positive integer and let $g$ be a matrix with $3$ rows and $3$ columns, with rational entries. Suppose that for each positive divisor $M$ of $N$ there exists a rational number $q_M$, a positive divisor $f (M)$ of $N$ and a matrix $\gamma_M \in \textrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z})$ such that
\[ g = q_M \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & f (M)
\end{array}\right) \gamma_M \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & M^{}
\end{array}\right) . \]
Moreover, if $q_1 = 1$, prove that $\det (g) = N$ and $g$ has the following shape:
\[ g = \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
a_{11} & a_{12} & Na_{13}\\
a_{21} & a_{22} & Na_{23}\\
Na_{31} & Na_{32} & Na_{33}
\end{array}\right), \]
where $a_{ij}$ are all integers, $i, j \in \{ 1, 2, 3 \} .$
$\textbf{(b)}$ Provide an example of a matrix $g$ with $2$ rows and $2$ columns which satisfies the following properties:
$\bullet$ For each positive divisor $M$ of $6$ there exists a rational number $q_M$, a positive divisor $f (M)$ of $6$ and a matrix $\gamma_M \in \textrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$ such that
\[ g = q_M \left(\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & f (M)
\end{array}\right) \gamma_M \left(\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & M^{}
\end{array}\right) \]
and $q_1 = 1$.
$\bullet$ $g$ does not have its determinant equal to $6$ and is not of the shape
\[ g = \left(\begin{array}{cc}
a_{22} & 6 a_{23}\\
6 a_{32} & 6 a_{33}
\end{array}\right), \]
where $a_{ij}$ are all positive integers, $i, j \in \{ 2, 3 \}$.

There are four circles. The chord$ AB$ is drawn in the first one, and the distance from the midpoint of the smaller of the two formed arcs to $AB$ is equal to $1$. The second, third and fourth circles are located inside the larger segment and touch the chord $AB$. The second and fourth circles touch internally the first and externally the third. The sum of the radii of the last three circles is equal to the radius of the first circle. Find the radius of the third circle if it is known that the line passing through the centers of the first and third circles is not parallel to the line passing through the centers of the other two circles.

Ang, Ben, and Jasmin each have $5$ blocks, colored red, blue, yellow, white, and green; and there are $5$ empty boxes. Each of the people randomly and independently of the other two people places one of their blocks into each box. The probability that at least one box receives $3$ blocks all of the same color is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m + n ?$

Marine biologists are studying a new species of shellfish whose first generation consists of $100$ shellfish, and their colony reproduces as follows: if a given generation consists of $N$ shellfish (where $5\mid N$ always holds), they divide themselves into $N/5$ groups of $5$ shellfish each. Each group collectively produces $15$ offspring, who form the next generation. Some of the shellfish contain a pearl, but a shellfish can only contain a pearl if none of its direct ancestors contained a pearl. The value of a pearl is determined by the generation of the shellfish containing it: in the $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ generation, its value is $1/3^n$. Find the maximum possible total value of the pearls in the colony.
