Integers between $1$ and $7$ are written on a blackboard. It is possible that not all the numbers from 1 to 7 are present, and it is also possible that one, some or all of the numbers are repeated, one or more times.
A move consists of choosing one or more numbers on the blackboard, where all distinct, delete them and write different numbers in their place, such that the written numbers together with those deleted form the whole set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7\}$
For example, moves allowed are:
• delete a $4$ and a $5$, and write in their place the numbers $1, 2, 3, 6$ and $7$;
• deleting a $1$, a $2$, a $3$, a $4$, a $5$, a $6$ and a $7$ and write nothing in their place.
Prove that, if it is possible to find a sequence of moves, starting from the initial situation, leading to have on board a single number (written once), then this number does not depend on the sequence of moves used.

Let $A$ and $B$ two countries which inlude exactly $2011$ cities.There is exactly one flight from a city of $A$ to a city of $B$ and there is no domestic flights (flights are bi-directional).For every city $X$ (doesn't matter from $A$ or from $B$), there exist at most $19$ different airline such that airline have a flight from $X$ to the another city.For an integer $k$, (it doesn't matter how flights arranged ) we can say that there exists at least $k$ cities such that it is possible to trip from one of these $k$ cities to another with same airline.So find the maximum value of $k$.

Let $d(n)$ be the number of positive divisors of a positive integer $n$. Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all positive integers. Say that a function $F$ from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N}$ is [i]divisor-respecting[/i] if $d(F(mn)) = d(F(m)) d(F(n))$ for all positive integers $m$ and $n$, and $d(F(n)) \le d(n)$ for all positive integers $n$. Find all divisor-respecting functions. Justify your answer.

All the species of plants existing in Russia are catalogued (numbered by integers from $2$ to $2000$ ; one after another, without omissions or repetitions). For any pair of species the gcd of their catalogue numbers was calculated and recorded but the catalogue numbers themselves were lost. Is it possible to restore the catalogue numbers from the data in hand?

[b]p4.[/b] Grace and Somya each have a collection of coins worth a dollar. Both Grace and Somya have quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.

[b]p6.[/b] Kaitlyn plays a number game. Each time when Kaitlyn has a number, if it is even, she divides it by $2$, and if it is odd, she multiplies it by $5$ and adds $1$. Kaitlyn then takes the resulting number and continues the process until she reaches $1$. For example, if she begins with $3$, she finds the sequence of $6$ numbers to be $$3, 3 \cdot 5 + 1 = 16, 16/2 = 8, 8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2, 2/2 = 1.$$ If Kaitlyn's starting number is $51$, how many numbers are in her sequence, including the starting number and the number $1$?

[b]p8.[/b] A six-sided die contains the numbers $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, and $6$ on its faces. If numbers on opposite faces of a die always sum to $7$, how many distinct dice are possible? (Two dice are considered the same if one can be rotated to obtain the other.)
[b]p9.[/b] In $\vartriangle ABC$, $AB$ is $12$ and $AC$ is $15$. Alex draws the angle bisector of $BAC$, $AD$, such that $D$ is on $BC$. If $CD$ is $10$, then the area of $\vartriangle ABC$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m \sqrt{n}}{p}$ where $m, p$ are relatively prime and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m + n + p$.

[b]p11.[/b] Chris has a bag with $4$ marbles. Each minute, Chris randomly selects a marble out of the bag and flips a coin. If the coin comes up heads, Chris puts the marble back in the bag, while if the coin comes up tails, Chris sets the marble aside. What is the expected number of seconds it will take Chris to empty the bag?
[b]p12.[/b] A real fixed point $x$ of a function $f(x)$ is a real number such that $f(x) = x$. Find the absolute value of the product of the real fixed points of the function $f(x) = x^4 + x - 16$.
[b]p13.[/b] A triangle with angles $30^o$, $75^o$, $75^o$ is inscribed in a circle with radius $1$. The area of the triangle can be expressed as $\frac{a+\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b + c$.
[b]p14.[/b] Dora and Charlotte are playing a game involving flipping coins. On a player's turn, she first chooses a probability of the coin landing heads between $\frac14$ and $\frac34$ , and the coin magically flips heads with that probability. The player then flips this coin until the coin lands heads, at which point her turn ends. The game ends the first time someone flips heads on an odd-numbered flip. The last player to flip the coin wins. If both players are playing optimally and Dora goes first, let the probability that Charlotte win the game be $\frac{a}{b}$ . Find $a \cdot b$.
[b]p15.[/b] Jonny is trying to sort a list of numbers in ascending order by swapping pairs of numbers. For example, if he has the list $1$, $4$, $3$, $2$, Jonny would swap $2$ and $4$ to obtain $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$. If Jonny is given a random list of $400$ distinct numbers, let $x$ be the expected minimum number of swaps he needs. Compute $\left \lfloor \frac{x}{20} \right \rfloor$.

Frieda the frog begins a sequence of hops on a $3 \times 3$ grid of squares, moving one square on each hop and choosing at random the direction of each hop up, down, left, or right. She does not hop diagonally. When the direction of a hop would take Frieda off the grid, she "wraps around'' and jumps to the opposite edge. For example if Frieda begins in the center square and makes two hops "up'', the first hop would place her in the top row middle square, and the second hop would cause Frieda to jump to the opposite edge, landing in the bottom row middle square. Suppose Frieda starts from the center square, makes at most four hops at random, and stops hopping if she lands on a corner square. What is the probability that she reaches a corner square on one of the four hops?
