Let $n$ cards are placed in a circle. Each card has a white side and a black side. On each move, you pick one card with black side up, flip it over, and also flip over the two neighboring cards. Suppose initially, there are only one black-side-up card. (a)If $n=2015$ , can you make all cards white-side-up through a finite number of moves? (b)If $n=2016$ , can you make all cards white-side-up through a finite number of moves?

$ABC$ is an equilateral triangle. $A_{1}, B_{1}, C_{1}$ are the midpoints of $BC, CA, AB$ respectively. $p$ is an arbitrary line through $A_{1}$. $q$ and $r$ are lines parallel to $p$ through $B_{1}$ and $C_{1}$ respectively. $p$ meets the line $B_{1}C_{1}$ at $A_{2}$. Similarly, $q$ meets $C_{1}A_{1}$ at $B_{2}$, and $r$ meets $A_{1}B_{1}$ at $C_{2}$. Show that the lines $AA_{2}, BB_{2}, CC_{2}$ meet at some point $X$, and that $X$ lies on the circumcircle of $ABC$.

A number $n$ is said to be [i]nice[/i] if it exists an integer $r>0$ such that the expression of $n$ in base $r$ has all its digits equal. For example, 62 and 15 are $\emph{nice}$ because 62 is 222 in base 5, and 15 is 33 in base 4. Show that 1993 is not [i]nice[/i], but 1994 is.

Each cell of a beehive is constructed from a right regular 6-angled prism, open at the bottom and closed on the top by a regular 3-sided pyramidical mantle. The edges of this pyramid are connected to three of the rising edges of the prism and its apex $T$ is on the perpendicular line through the center $O$ of the base of the prism (see figure). Let $s$ denote the side of the base, $h$ the height of the cell and $\theta$ the angle between the line $TO$ and $TV$. (a) Prove that the surface of the cell consists of 6 congruent trapezoids and 3 congruent rhombi. (b) the total surface area of the cell is given by the formula $6sh - \dfrac{9s^2}{2\tan\theta} + \dfrac{s^2 3\sqrt{3}}{2\sin\theta}$ [img]http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=286[/img]

Richard has a four infinitely large piles of coins: a pile of pennies (worth 1 cent each), a pile of nickels (5 cents), a pile of dimes (10 cents), and a pile of quarters (25 cents). He chooses one pile at random and takes one coin from that pile. Richard then repeats this process until the sum of the values of the coins he has taken is an integer number of dollars. (One dollar is 100 cents.) What is the expected value of this final sum of money, in cents? [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
