$T$ is a given triangle with vertices $P_1,P_2,P_3$. Consider an arbitrary subdivision of $T$ into finitely many subtriangles such that no vertex of a subtriangle lies strictly between two vertices of another subtriangle. To each vertex $V$ of the subtriangles there is assigned a number $n(V)$ according to the following rules:
$(\text{i})$ If $V$ = $P_i$, then $n(V) = i$.
$(\text{ii})$ If $V$ lies on the side $P_i P_j$ of $T$, then $n(V) = i$ or $j$.
$(\text{iii})$ If $V$ lies inside the triangle $T$, then $n(V)$ is any of the numbers $1,2,3$.
Prove that there exists at least one subtriangle whose vertices are numbered $1, 2, 3$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Consider an $n\times n$ grid of unit squares. How many ways are there to partition the horizontal and vertical unit segments of the grid into $n(n + 1)$ pairs so that the following properties are satisfied?
(i) Each pair consists of a horizontal segment and a vertical segment that share a common endpoint, and no segment is in more than one pair.
(ii) No two pairs of the partition contain four segments that all share the same endpoint.
(Pictured below is an example of a valid partition for $n = 2$.)

Evaluate $\dbinom{6}{0}+\dbinom{6}{1}+\dbinom{6}{4}+\dbinom{6}{3}+\dbinom{6}{4}+\dbinom{6}{5}+\dbinom{6}{6}$
[i]Proposed by Jonathan Liu[/i]
[hide=Solution]
[i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{64}$
We have that $\dbinom{6}{4}=\dbinom{6}{2}$, so $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{6} \dbinom{6}{n}=2^6=\boxed{64}.$

Let $\oplus$ denote the xor binary operation. Define $x \star y=(x+y)-(x\oplus y).$ Compute $$\sum_{k=1}^{63} (k \star 45).$$([i]Remark:[/i] The xor operation works as follows: when considered in binary, the $k$th binary digit of $a \oplus b$ is $1$ exactly when the $k$th binary digits of $a$ and $b$ are different. For example, $5 \oplus 12 = 0101_2 \oplus 1100_2=1001_2=9.$)

In Tigre there are $2024$ islands, some of them connected by a two-way bridge. It is known that it is possible to go from any island to any other island using only the bridges (possibly several of them). In $k$ of the islands there is a flag ($0 \le k \le 2024$). Ana wants to destroy some of the bridges in such a way that after doing so, the following two conditions are met: \\
$\bullet$ If an island has a flag, it is connected to an odd number of islands. \\
$\bullet$ If an island does not have a flag, it is connected to an even number of islands. \\
Determine all values of $k$ for which Ana can always achieve her objective, no matter what the initial bridge configuration is and which islands have a flag.
