Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a regular 18-gon, and for two vertices in $\mathcal{S}$ define the $\textit{distance}$ between them to be the length of the shortest path along the edges of $\mathcal{S}$ between them (e.g. adjacent vertices have distance 1). Find the number of ways to choose three distinct vertices from $\mathcal{S}$ such that no two of them have distance 1, 8, or 9.

Let $f$ be a random permutation on $\{1, 2, \dots, 100\}$ satisfying $f(1) > f(4)$ and $f(9)>f(16)$. The probability that $f(1)>f(16)>f(25)$ can be written as $\frac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100m+n$. Note: In other words, $f$ is a function such that $\{f(1), f(2), \ldots, f(100)\}$ is a permutation of $\{1,2, \ldots, 100\}$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

We have a $4 \times 4$ squared board. We define the [i]separation [/i] between two squares as the least number of moves that a chess knight must take to go from one square to the other (using moves of the knight). Three boxes $A, B, C$ form a good trio if the three separations between $A$ and $B$, between $A$ and $C$ and between $B$ and $C$ are equal. Determines the number of good trios that are formed on the board. Clarification: In each move the knight moves $2$ squares in the horizontal direction plus one square in the vertical direction or moves $2$ squares in the vertical direction plus one square in the horizontal direction.

2022 Bulgarian Autumn Math Competition, Problem 11.4

The number $2022$ is written on the white board. Ivan and Peter play a game, Ivan starts and they alternate. On a move, Ivan erases the number $b$, written on the board, throws a dice which shows some number $a$, and writes the residue of $(a+b) ^2$ modulo $5$. Similarly, Peter throws a dice which shows some number $a$, and changes the previously written number $b$ to the residue of $a+b$ modulo $3$. The first player to write a $0$ wins. What is the probability of Ivan winning the game?
