The symbol $R_k$ stands for an integer whose base-ten representation is a sequence of $k$ ones. For example, $R_3=111$, $R_5=11111$, etc. When $R_{24}$ is divided by $R_4$, the quotient $Q=\frac{R_{24}}{R_4}$ is an integer whose base-ten representation is a sequence containing only ones and zeros. The number of zeros in $Q$ is $ \textbf{(A)}\ 10 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 11 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 13 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 15 $

We call a tiling of an $m \times n$ rectangle with corners (see figure below) "regular" if there is no sub-rectangle which is tiled with corners. Prove that if for some $m$ and $n$ there exists a "regular" tiling of the $m \times n$ rectangular then there exists a "regular" tiling also for the $2m \times 2n $ rectangle.

In stage $0$ the numbers are written: $1 , 1$. In stage $1$ the sum of the numbers is inserted: $1, 2, 1$. In stage $2$, between each pair of numbers from the previous stage, the sum of them is inserted: $1, 3, 2, 3, 1$. One more stage: $1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1$. How many numbers are there in stage $10$? What is the sum of all the numbers in stage $10$?

2011 Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik, 1

Ten bowls are in a circle. They will go clockwise - starting somewhere filled with $1, 2, 3, ..., 9$ or $10$ marbles. You can have two choices in every move . Add a marble to neighboring shells or from two neighboring shells - if both of them are not empty - remove one marble each. Can you achieve that after finally many moves in each bowl exactly $2011$ marbles lying?

Functions $f_0, f_1,f_2,...$ are recursively defined by $f_0(x) = x$ and $f_{2k+1} (x) = 3^{f_{2k}(x)}$ and $f_{2k+2} = 2^{f_{2k+1}(x)}$, $k = 0,1,2,...$ for all $x \in R$. Find the greater one of the numbers $f_{10}(1)$ and $f_9(2)$.

2023 Iran MO (2nd Round), P3

3. We have a $n \times n$ board. We color the unit square $(i,j)$ black if $i=j$, red if $i<j$ and green if $i>j$. Let $a_{i,j}$ be the color of the unit square $(i,j)$. In each move we switch two rows and write down the $n$-tuple $(a_{1,1},a_{2,2},\cdots,a_{n,n})$. How many $n$-tuples can we obtain by repeating this process? (note that the order of the numbers are important)

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained by adding a constant to the previous term. For example, $2,5,8,11,14$ is an arithmetic sequence with five terms, in which the first term is $2$ and the constant added is $3$. Each row and each column in this $5\times5$ array is an arithmetic sequence with five terms. What is the value of $X$? $\textbf{(A) }21\qquad\textbf{(B) }31\qquad\textbf{(C) }36\qquad\textbf{(D) }40\qquad \textbf{(E) }42$ [asy] size(3.85cm); label("$X$",(2.5,2.1),N); for (int i=0; i<=5; ++i) draw((i,0)--(i,5), linewidth(.5)); for (int j=0; j<=5; ++j) draw((0,j)--(5,j), linewidth(.5)); void draw_num(pair ll_corner, int num) { label(string(num), ll_corner + (0.5, 0.5), p = fontsize(19pt)); } draw_num((0,0), 17); draw_num((4, 0), 81); draw_num((0, 4), 1); draw_num((4,4), 25); void foo(int x, int y, string n) { label(n, (x+0.5,y+0.5), p = fontsize(19pt)); } foo(2, 4, " "); foo(3, 4, " "); foo(0, 3, " "); foo(2, 3, " "); foo(1, 2, " "); foo(3, 2, " "); foo(1, 1, " "); foo(2, 1, " "); foo(3, 1, " "); foo(4, 1, " "); foo(2, 0, " "); foo(3, 0, " "); foo(0, 1, " "); foo(0, 2, " "); foo(1, 0, " "); foo(1, 3, " "); foo(1, 4, " "); foo(3, 3, " "); foo(4, 2, " "); foo(4, 3, " "); [/asy]
