Anna and Berta play a game in which they take turns in removing marbles from a table. Anna takes the first turn. At the beginning of a turn there are n ≥ 1 marbles on the table, then the player whose turn is removes k marbles, where k ≥ 1 either is an even number with $k \le \frac{n}{2}$ or an odd number with $ \frac{n}{2}\le k \le n$. A player wins the game if she removes the last marble from the table.
Determine the smallest number $N\ge100000$ which Berta has wining strategy.

For every pair $(m, n)$ of positive integers, a positive real number $a_{m, n}$ is given. Assume that
\[a_{m+1, n+1} = \frac{a_{m, n+1} a_{m+1, n} + 1}{a_{m, n}}\]

Two circles with centers $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ meet at two points $A$ and $B$ such that the centers of the circles are on opposite sides of the line $AB$. The lines $BO_{1}$ and $BO_{2}$ meet their respective circles again at $B_{1}$ and $B_{2}$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $B_{1}B_{2}$. Let $M_{1}$, $M_{2}$ be points on the circles of centers $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ respectively, such that $\angle AO_{1}M_{1}= \angle AO_{2}M_{2}$, and $B_{1}$ lies on the minor arc $AM_{1}$ while $B$ lies on the minor arc $AM_{2}$. Show that $\angle MM_{1}B = \angle MM_{2}B$.

To [i]clip[/i] a convex $n$-gon means to choose a pair of consecutive sides $AB, BC$ and to replace them by the three segments $AM, MN$, and $NC$, where $M$ is the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ is the midpoint of $BC$. In other words, one cuts off the triangle $MBN$ to obtain a convex $(n+1)$-gon. A regular hexagon ${\cal P}_6$ of area 1 is clipped to obtain a heptagon ${\cal P}_7$. Then ${\cal P}_7$ is clipped (in one of the seven possible ways) to obtain an octagon ${\cal P}_8$, and so on. Prove that no matter how the clippings are done, the area of ${\cal P}_n$ is greater than $\frac 13$, for all $n \geq 6$.

Consider a grid board of $n \times n$, with $n \ge 5$. Two unit squares are said to be far [i]apart [/i] if they are neither on the same row nor on consecutive rows and neither in the same column nor in consecutive columns. Take $3$ rectangles with vertices and sides on the points and lines of board so that if two unit squares belong to different rectangles, then they are [i]apart [/i]. In how many ways is it possible to do this?
