Let $n$ be a positive integer, and Megavan has a $(3n+1)\times (3n+1)$ board. All squares, except one, are tiled by non-overlapping $1\times 3$ triominoes. In each step, he can choose a triomino that is untouched in the step right before it, and then shift this triomino horizontally or vertically by one square, as long as the triominoes remain non-overlapping after this move.
Show that there exist some $k$, such that after $k$ moves Megavan can no longer make any valid moves irregardless of the initial configuration, and find the smallest possible $k$ for each $n$.
[i](Note: While he cannot undo a move immediately before the current step, he may still choose to move a triomino that has already been moved at least two steps before.)[/i]

Let $a_1$ be any positive integer. For all $i$, write $5^{2020}$ times $a_i$ in base $10$, replace each digit with its remainder when divided by $2$, read off the result in binary, and call that $a_{i+1}$. Prove that $a_N = a_{N+2^{2020}}$ for all sufficiently large $N$.

Is there a sequence $a_{1}, . . . , a_{2016}$ of positive integers, such that every sum
$$a_{r} + a_{r+1} + . . . + a_{s-1} + a_{s}$$ (with $1 \le r \le s \le 2016$) is a composite number, but:
a) $GCD(a_{i}, a_{i+1}) = 1$ for all $i = 1, 2, . . . , 2015$;
b) $GCD(a_{i}, a_{i+1}) = 1$ for all $i = 1, 2, . . . , 2015$ and $GCD(a_{i}, a_{i+2}) = 1$ for all $i = 1, 2, . . . , 2014$?
$GCD(x, y)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $x$, $y$.

A rectangular storage bin measures $10$ feet by $12$ feet, is $3$ feet tall, and sits on a flat plane. A pile of dirt is pushed up against the outside of the storage bin so that it slants down from the top of the storage bin to points on the ground $4$ feet away from the base of the storage bin as shown. The number of cubic feet of dirt needed to form the pile can be written as $m + n \pi$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m + n.$

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Consider the sum $x_1y_1 + x_2y_2 +\cdots + x_ny_n$, where that values of the variables $x_1, x_2,\ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2,\ldots, y_n$ are either 0 or 1.
Let $I(n)$ be the number of 2$n$-tuples $(x_1, x_2,\ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2,\ldots, y_n)$ such that the sum of the number is odd, and let $P(n)$ be the number of 2$n$-tuples $(x_1, x_2,\ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2,\ldots, y_n)$ such that the sum is an even number.

Given a positive integer $n\ge 3$, Arándano and Banana play a game. Initially, numbers $1,2,3,\dots,n$ are written on the blackboard. Alternatingly and starting with Arándano, the players erase numbers from the board one at a time, until exactly three numbers remain on the board. Banana wins the game if the last three numbers on the board are the sides of a nondegenerate triangle, and Arándano wins otherwise.
Determine, in terms of $n$, who has a winning strategy.

Positive integers $a, b$ and $c$ are all less than $2020$. We know that $a$ divides $b + c$, $b$ divides $a + c$ and $c$ divides $a + b$. How many such ordered triples $(a, b, c)$ are there?
Note: In an ordered triple, the order of the numbers matters, so the ordered triple $(0, 1, 2)$ is not the same as the ordered triple $(2, 0, 1)$.

Nine circles are drawn around an arbitrary triangle as in the figure. All circles tangent to the same side of the triangle have equal radii. Three lines are drawn, each one connecting one of the triangle’s vertices to the center of one of the circles touching the opposite side, as in the figure. Show that the three lines are concurrent.

We can write our two numbers as $6x$ and $6y$. Notice that $x$ and $y$ must be relatively prime. Since $6x$ and $6y$ are two digit numbers, we just need to check values of $x$ and $y$ from $2$ through $16$ such that $x$ and $y$ are relatively prime. We maximize the sum when $x = 15$ and $y = 16$, since consecutive numbers are always relatively prime. So the sum is $6 \cdot (15+16) = \boxed{186}$.[/hide]
