Infinitely many math beasts stand in a line, all six feet apart, wearing masks, and with clean hands. Grogg starts at the front of the line, holding $n$ pieces of candy, $ n \ge 1,$ and everyone else has none. He passes his candy to the beasts behind him, one piece each to the next $n$ beasts in line. Then, Grogg leaves the line. The other beasts repeat this process: the beast in front, who has $k$ pieces of candy, passes one piece each to the next $k$ beasts in line, and then leaves the line. For some values of $n,$ another beast, besides Grogg, temporarily holds all the candy. For which values of $n$ does this occur?

Mr. Zhou places all the integers from $1$ to $225$ into a $15$ by $15$ grid. He places $1$ in the middle square (eight row and eight column) and places the other numbers one by one clockwise, as shown in part in the diagram below.

1998 IMO Shortlist, 4

Let $U=\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$, where $n\geq 3$. A subset $S$ of $U$ is said to be [i]split[/i] by an arrangement of the elements of $U$ if an element not in $S$ occurs in the arrangement somewhere between two elements of $S$. For example, 13542 splits $\{1,2,3\}$ but not $\{3,4,5\}$. Prove that for any $n-2$ subsets of $U$, each containing at least 2 and at most $n-1$ elements, there is an arrangement of the elements of $U$ which splits all of them.

The Tower of Hanoi is a puzzle with $n$ disks of different sizes and $3$ vertical rods on it. All of the disks are initially placed on the leftmost rod, sorted by size such that the largest disk is on the bottom. On each turn, one may move the topmost disk of any nonempty rod onto any other rod, provided that it is smaller than the current topmost disk of that rod, if it exists. (For instance, if there were two disks on different rods, the smaller disk could move to either of the other two rods, but the larger disk could only move to the empty rod.) The puzzle is solved when all of the disks are moved to the rightmost rod. The specifications normally include an intelligent monk to move the disks, but instead there is a monkey making random moves (with each valid move having an equal probability of being selected). Given $64$ disks, what is the expected number of moves the monkey will have to make to solve the puzzle?
