Let $m$ be a positive integer.
Two players, Axel and Elina play the game HAUKKU ($m$) proceeds as follows:
Axel starts and the players choose integers alternately. Initially, the set of integers is the set of positive divisors of a positive integer $m$ .The player in turn chooses one of the remaining numbers, and removes that number and all of its multiples from the list of selectable numbers. A player who has to choose number $1$, loses. Show that the beginner player, Axel, has a winning strategy in the HAUKKU ($m$) game for all $m \in Z_{+}$.
PS. As member Loppukilpailija noted, it should be written $m>1$, as the statement does not hold for $m = 1$.

The closed interval $A = [0, 50]$ is the union of a finite number of closed intervals, each of length $1$. Prove that some of the intervals can be removed so that those remaining are mutually disjoint and have total length greater than $25$.
Note: For reals $a\le b$, the closed interval $[a, b] := \{x\in \mathbb{R}:a\le x\le b\}$ has length $b-a$; disjoint intervals have [i]empty [/i]intersection.

In a simple graph, there are two disjoint set of vertices $A$ and $B$ where $A$ has $k$ and $B$ has $2016$ vertices. Four numbers are written to each vertex using the colors red, green, blue and black. There is no any edge at the beginning. For each vertex in $A$, we first choose a color and then draw all edges from this vertex to the vertices in $B$ having a larger number with the chosen color. It is known that for each vertex in $B$, the set of vertices in $A$ connected to this vertex are different. Find the minimal possible value of $k$.

Construct a tetromino by attaching two $2 \times 1$ dominoes along their longer sides such that the midpoint of the longer side of one domino is a corner of the other domino. This construction yields two kinds of tetrominoes with opposite orientations. Let us call them $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, respectively.
Assume that a lattice polygon $P$ can be tiled with $S$-tetrominoes. Prove that no matter how we tile $P$ using only $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, we always use an even number of $Z$-tetrominoes.
