On the screen of a computer there is an $2^n\times 2^n$ board. On each cell of the main diagonal there is a file. At each step, we may select some files and move them to the left, on their respective rows, by the same distance. What is the minimum number of necessary moves in order to put all files on the first column?

$A$, $B$, $C$ are three piles of rocks. The mean weight of the rocks in $A$ is $40$ pounds, the mean weight of the rocks in $B$ is $50$ pounds, the mean weight of the rocks in the combined piles $A$ and $B$ is $43$ pounds, and the mean weight of the rocks in the combined piles $A$ and $C$ is $44$ pounds. What is the greatest possible integer value for the mean in pounds of the rocks in the combined piles $B$ and $C$?

Dima wrote several natural numbers on the blackboard and underlined some of them. Misha wants to erase several numbers (but not all) such that a multiple of three underlined numbers remain and the total amount of the remaining numbers would be divisible by $2013$; but after trying for a while he realizes that it's impossible to do this. What is the largest number of the numbers on the board?

Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram, let $X$ and $Y$ in the segments $AB$ and $CD$, respectively. The segments $AY$ and $DX$ intersects in $P$ and the segments $BY$ and $DX$ intersects in $Q$, show that the line $PQ$ passes in a fixed point(independent of the positions of the points $X$ and $Y$).
I guess that the fixed point is the midpoint of $BD$.

Let $PAB$ and $PBC$ be two similar right-angled triangles (in the same plane) with $\angle PAB = \angle PBC = 90^\circ$ such that $A$ and $C$ lie on opposite sides of the line $PB$. If $PC = AC$, calculate the ratio $\frac{PA}{AB}$.

Given an integer $ m$, define the sequence $ \left\{a_{n}\right\}$ as follows:
\[ a_{1}\equal{}\frac{m}{2},\ a_{n\plus{}1}\equal{}a_{n}\left\lceil a_{n}\right\rceil,\textnormal{ if }n\geq 1\]
Find all values of $ m$ for which $ a_{2007}$ is the first integer appearing in the sequence.
Note: For a real number $ x$, $ \left\lceil x\right\rceil$ is defined as the smallest integer greater or equal to $ x$. For example, $ \left\lceil\pi\right\rceil\equal{}4$, $ \left\lceil 2007\right\rceil\equal{}2007$.

There are $n$ distinct lines in three-dimensional space such that no two lines are parallel and no three lines meet at one point. What is the maximal possible number of planes determined by these $n$ lines?
We say that a plane is determined if it contains at least two of the lines.

At each vertex of a regular $14$-gon, lies a coin. Initially $7$ coins are heads, and $7$ coins are tails. Determine the minimum number $t$ such that it’s always possible to turn over at most $t$ of the coins so that in the resulting $14$-gon, no two adjacent coins are both heads and no two adjacent coins are both tails.

Let $n$ be a given number greater than 2. We consider the set $V_n$ of all the integers of the form $1 + kn$ with $k = 1, 2, \ldots$ A number $m$ from $V_n$ is called indecomposable in $V_n$ if there are not two numbers $p$ and $q$ from $V_n$ so that $m = pq.$ Prove that there exist a number $r \in V_n$ that can be expressed as the product of elements indecomposable in $V_n$ in more than one way. (Expressions which differ only in order of the elements of $V_n$ will be considered the same.)

Nathan has discovered a new way to construct chocolate bars, but it’s expensive! He starts with a single $1\times1$ square of chocolate and then adds more rows and columns from there. If his current bar has dimensions $w\times h$ ($w$ columns and $h$ rows), then it costs $w^2$ dollars to add another row and $h^2$ dollars to add another column. What is the minimum cost to get his chocolate bar to size $20\times20$?
