Initially, two distinct positive integers $a$ and $b$ are written on a blackboard. At each step, Andrea picks two distinct numbers $x$ and $y$ on the blackboard and writes the number $gcd(x, y) + lcm(x, y)$ on the blackboard as well. Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that, regardless of the values of $a$ and $b$, Andrea can perform a finite number of steps such that a multiple of $n$ appears on the blackboard.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. A child builds a wall along a line with $n$ identical cubes.

How many such distinct walls exist?

There is number $1$ on the blackboard initially. The first step is to erase $1$ and write two nonnegative reals whose sum is $1$. Call the smaller number of the two $L_2$. For integer $k \ge 2$, the ${k}$ the step is to erase a number on the blackboard arbitrarily and write two nonnegative reals whose sum is the number erased just now. Call the smallest number of the $k+1$ on the blackboard $L_{k+1}$. Find the maximum of $L_2+L_3+\cdots+L_{2024}$.

On a blackboard triangle $ABC$ is drawn. Vlad draws a random point $D$ inside it and then reflects $A,C,B$ across the midpoints of $CD, BD, AD$, gets $C_1, A_1, B_1$. When Vlad wasn't looking at the board, Dima deleted from it everything, except for $A_1,B_1,C_1$. Can Vlad now using only chalk, ruler and compass draw the original point $D$?

Bessie the cow is hungry and wants to eat some oranges, which she has an infinite supply of. Bessie starts with a fullness level of $0$, and each orange that she eats increases her fullness level by $85$. She can also eat lemons, and each time she eats a lemon, her fullness level is halved, rounding down. What is the smallest number of lemons that Bessie should have in order to be able to attain every possible nonnegative integer fullness level?

Find the smallest natural number $n$ such that the sum of the measures of the angles of the $n$-gon, with $n > 6$ is less than $n^2$ degrees. p5. There are a few magic cards. By stating on which card a number is there, without looking at the card at all, someone can precisely guess the number. If the number is on Card $A$ and $B$, then the number in question is $1 + 2$ (sum of corner number top left) cards $A$ and $B$. If the numbers are in $A$, $B$, and $C$, the number what is meant is $1 + 2 + 4$ or equal to $7$ (which is obtained by adding the numbers in the upper left corner of each card $A$,$B$, and $C$).

Dengan menyebutkan di kartu yang mana suatu bilan gan berada, tanpa melihat kartu sama sekali, seseorang dengan tepat bisa menebak bilangan yang dimaksud. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada pada Kartu A dan B, maka bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 (jumlah bilangan pojok kiri atas) kartu A dan B. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada di A, B, dan C, bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 + 4 atau sama dengan 7 (yang diperoleh dengan menambahkan bilangan-bilangan di pojok kiri atas masing-masing kartu A, B, dan C) a.

Maryam has a fair tetrahedral die, with the four faces of the die labeled 1 through 4. At each step, she rolls the die and records which number is on the bottom face. She stops when the current number is greater than or equal to the previous number. (In particular, she takes at least two steps.) What is the expected number (average number) of steps that she takes?
