An integer $N \ge 2$ is given. A collection of $N(N + 1)$ soccer players, no two of whom are of the same height, stand in a row. Sir Alex wants to remove $N(N - 1)$ players from this row leaving a new row of $2N$ players in which the following $N$ conditions hold: ($1$) no one stands between the two tallest players, ($2$) no one stands between the third and fourth tallest players, $\;\;\vdots$ ($N$) no one stands between the two shortest players. Show that this is always possible. [i]Proposed by Grigory Chelnokov, Russia[/i]

While taking the SAT, you become distracted by your own answer sheet. Because you are not bound to the College Board's limiting rules, you realize that there are actually $32$ ways to mark your answer for each question, because you could fight the system and bubble in multiple letters at once: for example, you could mark $AB$, or $AC$, or $ABD$, or even $ABCDE$, or nothing at all! You begin to wonder how many ways you could mark off the 10 questions you haven't yet answered. To increase the challenge, you wonder how many ways you could mark off the rest of your answer sheet without ever marking the same letter twice in a row. (For example, if $ABD$ is marked for one question, $AC$ cannot be marked for the next one because $A$ would be marked twice in a row.) If the number of ways to do this can be expressed in the form $2^m p^n$, where $m,n > 1$ are integers and $p$ is a prime, compute $100m+n+p$. [i]Proposed by Alexander Dai[/i]

Around a circle are written$ 2009$ integers, not necessarily distinct, so that if two numbers are neighbors their difference is $1$ or $2$ . We will say that a number is [i]huge[/i] if it is greater than its two neighbors, and that it is [i]tiny[/i] if it is less than its two neighbors. The sum of all the huge numbers is equal to the sum of all the tiny numbers plus $1810$. . Determine how many odd numbers there can be around the circumference.
