A king decides to reward one of his knights by making a game. He sits the knights at a round table and has them call out $1,2,3,1,2,3,\dots$ around the circle (that is, clockwise, and each person says a number). The people who say $2$ or $3$ immediately lose, and this continues until the last knight is left, the winner. Numbering the knights initially as $1,2,\dots,n$, find all values of $n$ such that knight $2008$ is the winner.

Note that $8^3 - 7^3 = 169 = 13^2$ and $13 = 2^2 + 3^2.$ Prove that if the difference between two consecutive cubes is a square, then it is the square of the sum of two consecutive squares.

Let $Q$ be a set of prime numbers, not necessarily finite. For a positive integer $n$ consider its prime factorization: define $p(n)$ to be the sum of all the exponents and $q(n)$ to be the sum of the exponents corresponding only to primes in $Q$. A positive integer $n$ is called [i]special[/i] if $p(n)+p(n+1)$ and $q(n)+q(n+1)$ are both even integers. Prove that there is a constant $c>0$ independent of the set $Q$ such that for any positive integer $N>100$, the number of special integers in $[1,N]$ is at least $cN$. (For example, if $Q=\{3,7\}$, then $p(42)=3$, $q(42)=2$, $p(63)=3$, $q(63)=3$, $p(2022)=3$, $q(2022)=1$.)

Let $l,m$ be two parallel lines in the plane. Let $P$ be a fixed point between them. Let $E,F$ be variable points on $l,m$ such that the angle $EPF$ is fixed to a number like $\alpha$ where $0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}2$. (By angle $EPF$ we mean the directed angle) Show that there is another point (not $P$) such that it sees the segment $EF$ with a fixed angle too.

2005 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 8.2

In the middle cell of the $1 \times 2005$ strip there is a chip. Two players each queues move it: first, the first player moves the piece one cell in any direction, then the second one moves it $2$ cells, the $1$st - by $4$ cells, the 2nd by $8$, etc. (the $k$-th shift occurs by $2^{k-1}$ cells). That, whoever cannot make another move loses. Who can win regardless of the opponent's play?
