Let $p$ be a prime number of the form $4k+1$. Suppose that $r$ is a quadratic residue of $p$ and that $s$ is a quadratic nonresidue of $p$. Show that $p=a^{2}+b^{2}$, where \[a=\frac{1}{2}\sum^{p-1}_{i=1}\left( \frac{i(i^{2}-r)}{p}\right), b=\frac{1}{2}\sum^{p-1}_{i=1}\left( \frac{i(i^{2}-s)}{p}\right).\] Here, $\left( \frac{k}{p}\right)$ denotes the Legendre Symbol.

Given a regular tetrahedron with edge $a$, its edges are divided into $n$ equal segments, thus obtaining $n + 1$ points: $2$ at the ends and $n - 1$ inside. The following set of planes is considered: $\bullet$ those that contain the faces of the tetrahedron, and $\bullet$ each of the planes parallel to a face of the tetrahedron and containing at least one of the points determined above. Now all those points $P$ that belong (simultaneously) to four planes of that set are considered. Determine the smallest positive natural $n$ so that among those points $P$ the eight vertices of a square-based rectangular parallelepiped can be chosen.

Some lottery is played as follows. A lottery participant buys a card with $10$ numbered cells. He has the right to cross out any $4$ of these $10$ cells. Then a drawing occurs, during which some $7$ out of $10$ cells become winning. The player wins when all $4$ squares he crosses out are winning. The question arises, what is the smallest number of cards that can be used so that, if filled out correctly, at least one of these cards will win in any case? We do not suggest that you answer this question (we ourselves do not know the answer), although, of course, we will be very glad if you do and will evaluate this achievement accordingly. The task is; to indicate a certain number $n$ and a method of filling n cards that guarantees at least one win. The smaller $n$, the higher the rating of the work.

In this diagram, not drawn to scale, figures $\text{I}$ and $\text{III}$ are equilateral triangular regions with respective areas of $32\sqrt{3}$ and $8\sqrt{3}$ square inches. Figure $\text{II}$ is a square region with area $32$ sq. in. Let the length of segment $AD$ be decreased by $12\frac{1}{2} \%$ of itself, while the lengths of $AB$ and $CD$ remain unchanged. The percent decrease in the area of the square is: [asy] draw((0,0)--(22.6,0)); draw((0,0)--(5.66,9.8)--(11.3,0)--(11.3,5.66)--(16.96,5.66)--(16.96,0)--(19.45,4.9)--(22.6,0)); label("A", (0,0), S); label("B", (11.3,0), S); label("C", (16.96,0), S); label("D", (22.6,0), S); label("I", (5.66, 3.9)); label("II", (14.15,2.83)); label("III", (19.7,2)); [/asy] $\textbf{(A)}\ 12\frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 25 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 50 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 75 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 87\frac{1}{2}$

Juan must pay $4$ bills. He goes to an ATM, but doesn't remember the amount of the bills. Just know that a) Each account is a multiple of $1,000$ and is at least $4,000$. b) The accounts total 2$00, 000$. What is the least number of times Juan must use the ATM to make sure he can pay the bills with exact change without any excess money? The cashier has banknotes of $2, 000$, $5, 000$, $10, 000$, and $20,000$. Juan can decide how much money he asks the cashier each time, but you cannot decide how many bills of each type to give to the cashier.

1) The numbers $1,2,3,\ldots,2010$ are written on the blackboard. Two players in turn erase some two numbers and replace them with one number. The first player replaces numbers $a$ and $b$ with $ab-a-b$ while the second player replaces them with $ab+a+b.$ The game ends when a single number remains on the blackboard. If this number is smaller than $1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot\ldots\cdot2010$ then the first player wins. Otherwise the second player wins. Which of the players has a winning strategy? 2) The numbers $1,2,3,\ldots,2010$ are written on the blackboard. Two players in turn erase some two numbers and replace them with one number.
