Define a domino to be a $1\times 2$ rectangular block. A $2023\times 2023$ square grid is filled with non-overlapping dominoes, leaving a single $1\times 1$ gap. John then repeatedly slides dominoes into the gap; each domino is moved at most once. What is the maximum number of times that John could have moved a domino? (Example: In the $3\times 3$ grid shown below, John could move 2 dominoes: $D$, followed by $A$.)

Suppose $s,k,t\in \mathbb N$. We've colored each natural number with one of the $k$ colors, such that each color is used infinitely many times. We want to choose a subset $\mathcal A$ of $\mathbb N$ such that it has $t$ disjoint monochromatic $s$-element subsets. What is the minimum number of elements of $A$? [i]Proposed by Navid Adham[/i]

Do either $(1)$ or $(2)$ $(1)$ Let $A$ be matrix $(a_{ij}), 1 \leq i,j \leq 4.$ Let $d =$ det$(A),$ and let $A_{ij}$ be the cofactor of $a_{ij}$, that is, the determinant of the $3 \times 3$ matrix formed from $A$ by deleting $a_{ij}$ and other elements in the same row and column. Let $B$ be the $4 \times 4$ matrix $(A_{ij})$ and let $D$ be det $B.$ Prove $D = d^3$. $(2)$ Let $P(x)$ be the quadratic $Ax^2 + Bx + C.$ Suppose that $P(x) = x$ has unequal real roots. Show that the roots are also roots of $P(P(x)) = x.$ Find a quadratic equation for the other two roots of this equation. Hence solve $(y^2 - 3y + 2)2 - 3(y^2 - 3y + 2) + 2 - y = 0.$

Kelvin and $15$ other frogs are in a meeting, for a total of $16$ frogs. During the meeting, each pair of distinct frogs becomes friends with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. Kelvin thinks the situation after the meeting is [I]cool[/I] if for each of the $16$ frogs, the number of friends they made during the meeting is a multiple of $4$. Say that the probability of the situation being cool can be expressed in the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. Find $a$.

Given positive integers $m$ and $n$ so there is a chessboard with $mn$ $1 \times 1$ grids. Colour the grids into red and blue (Grids that have a common side are not the same colour and the grid in the left corner at the bottom is red). Now the diagnol that goes from the left corner at the bottom to the top right corner is coloured into red and blue segments (Every segment has the same colour with the grid that contains it). Find the sum of the length of all the red segments.
