Antonio and Bernardo play the following game. They are given two piles of chips, one with $m$ and the other with $n$ chips. Antonio starts, and thereafter they make in turn one of the following moves:
(i) take a chip from one pile;
(ii) take a chip from each of the piles;
(ii) remove a chip from one of the piles and put it onto the other.
Who cannot make any more moves, loses. Decide, as a function of $m$ and $n$ if one of the players has a winning strategy, and in the case of the affirmative answer describe that strategy.

Let $k>1$. Fix a circle $\omega$ with center $O$ and radius $r$, and fix a point $A$ with $OA=kr$.
Let $AB$, $AC$ be tangents to $\omega$. Choose a variable point $P$ on the minor arc $BC$ in $\omega$. Lines $AB$ and $CP$ intersect at $X$ and lines $AC$ and $BP$ intersect at $Y$. The circles $(BPX)$ and $(CPY)$ meet at another point $Z$.
Prove that the line $PZ$ always passes through a fixed point except for one value of $k>1$, and determine this value.

We say that some positive integer $m$ covers the number $1998$, if $1,9,9,8$ appear in this order as digits of $m$. (For instance $1998$ is covered by $2\textbf{1}59\textbf{9}36\textbf{98}$ but not by $213326798$.) Let $k(n)$ be the number of positive integers that cover $1998$ and have exactly $n$ digits ($n\ge 5$), all different from $0$. What is the remainder of $k(n)$ on division by $8$?

Let $G$ be a connected simple graph. When we add an edge to $G$ (between two unconnected vertices), then using at most $17$ edges we can reach any vertex from any other vertex. Find the maximum number of edges to be used to reach any vertex from any other vertex in the original graph, i.e. in the graph before we add an edge.

Given a permutation ($a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n$) of the sequence $0, 1,\ldots, n$. A transportation of $a_i$ with $a_j$ is called legal if $a_i=0$ for $i>0$, and $a_{i-1}+1=a_j$. The permutation ($a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n$) is called regular if after a number of legal transportations it becomes ($1,2, \ldots, n,0$).
For which numbers $n$ is the permutation ($1, n, n-1, \ldots, 3, 2, 0$) regular?
