Every positive integer is marked with a number from the set $\{ 0,1,2\}$, according to the following rule:
$$\text{if a positive integer }k\text{ is marked with }j,\text{ then the integer }k+j\text{ is marked with }0.$$
Let $S$ denote the sum of marks of the first $2019$ positive integers. Determine the maximum possible value of $S$.

Given points $O, A_1, A_2, ..., A_n$ on the plane. For any two of these points the square of distance between them is natural number. Prove that there exist two vectors $\vec{x}$ and $\vec{y}$, such that for any point $A_i$, $\vec{OA_i }= k\vec{x}+l \vec{y}$, where $k$ and $l$ are some integer numbers.

In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, we have marked points $A_1$ on side $BC, B_1$ on side $AC$, and $C_1$ on side $AB$ so that $AA_1$ is an altitude, $BB_1$ is a median, and $CC_1$ is an angle bisector. It is known that $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ is equilateral. Prove that $\vartriangle ABC$ is equilateral too.
(Note: A median connects a vertex of a triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. Thus, for median $BB_1$ we know that $B_1$ is the midpoint of side $AC$ in $\vartriangle ABC$.)

Let $n$ be an even positive integer. A sequence of $n$ real numbers is called complete if for every integer $m$ with $1 \leq m \leq n$ either the sum of the first $m$ terms of the sum or the sum of the last $m$ terms is integral. Determine
the minimum number of integers in a complete sequence of $n$ numbers.

Let $D_1$, $D_2$, ..., $D_n$ be closed discs in the plane. (A closed disc is the region limited by a circle, taken jointly with this circle.) Suppose that every point in the plane is contained in at most $2003$ discs $D_i$. Prove that there exists a disc $D_k$ which intersects at most $7\cdot 2003 - 1 = 14020$ other discs $D_i$.

For any integer $n\geq1$, we consider a set $P_{2n}$ of $2n$ points placed equidistantly on a circle. A [i]perfect matching[/i] on this point set is comprised of $n$ (straight-line) segments whose endpoints constitute $P_{2n}$. Let $\mathcal{M}_{n}$ denote the set of all non-crossing perfect matchings on $P_{2n}$. A perfect matching $M\in \mathcal{M}_{n}$ is said to be [i]centrally symmetric[/i], if it is invariant under point reflection at the circle center. Determine, as a function of $n$, the number of centrally symmetric perfect matchings within $\mathcal{M}_{n}$.

2012 Dutch IMO TST, 2
There are two boxes containing balls. One of them contains $m$ balls, and the other contains $n$ balls, where $m, n > 0$. Two actions are permitted:
(i) Remove an equal number of balls from both boxes.
(ii) Increase the number of balls in one of the boxes by a factor $k$.
Is it possible to remove all of the balls from both boxes with just these two actions,
1. if $k = 2$?
2. if $k = 3$?

Maisy is at the origin of the coordinate plane. On her first step, she moves $1$ unit up. On her second step, she moves $ 1$ unit to the right. On her third step, she moves $2$ units up. On her fourth step, she moves $2$ units to the right. She repeats this pattern with each odd-numbered step being $ 1$ unit more than the previous step. Given that the point that Maisy lands on after her $21$st step can be written in the form $(x, y)$, find the value of $x + y$.

You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

In CMI, each person has atmost $3$ friends. A disease has infected exactly $2023$ peoplein CMI . Each day, a person gets infected if and only if atleast two of their friends were infected on the previous day. Once someone is infected, they can neither die nor be cured. Given that everyone in CMI eventually got infected, what is the maximum possible number of people in CMI?
