A nonnegative integer $n$ is said to be $\textit{squarish}$ is it satisfies the following conditions: $\textbf{(i)}$ it contains no digits of $9$; $\textbf{(ii)}$ no matter how we increase exactly one of its digits with $1$, the outcome is a square. Find all squarish nonnegative integers. $\textit{(Vlad Robu)}$

1954 Moscow Mathematical Olympiad, 277

The map of a town shows a plane divided into equal equilateral triangles. The sides of these triangles are streets and their vertices are intersections; $6$ streets meet at each junction. Two cars start simultaneously in the same direction and at the same speed from points $A$ and $B$ situated on the same street (the same side of a triangle). After any intersection an admissible route for each car is either to proceed in its initial direction or turn through $120^o$ to the right or to the left. Can these cars meet? (Either prove that these cars won’t meet or describe a route by which they will meet.) [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/2/d/2c934bcd0c7fc3d9dca9cee0b6f015076abbdb.png[/img]

Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle $KPQ$ and $\omega$ are tangent to one another.

Given an odd integer $n \geq 3$. Let $V$ be the set of vertices of a regular $n$-gon, and $P$ be the set of all regular polygons formed by points in $V$. For instance, when $n=15$, $P$ consists of $1$ regular $15$-gon, $3$ regular pentagons, and $5$ regular triangles. Initially, all points in $V$ are uncolored. Two players, $A$ and $B$, play a game where they take turns coloring an uncolored point, with player $A$ starting and coloring points red, and player $B$ coloring points blue. The game ends when all points are colored. A regular polygon in $P$ is called $\textit{good}$ if it has more red points than blue points. Find the largest positive integer $k$ such that no matter how player $B$ plays, player $A$ can ensure that there are at least $k$ $\textit{good}$ polygons.

A circle of radius $2$ is centered at $A$. An equilateral triangle with side $4$ has a vertex at $A$.

Given a convex polygon with 20 vertexes, there are many ways of traingulation it (as 18 triangles). We call the diagram of triangulation, meaning the 20 vertexes, with 37 edges(17 triangluation edges and the original 20 edges), a T-diagram. And the subset of this T-diagram with 10 edges which covers all 20 vertexes(meaning any two edges in the subset doesn't cover the same vertex) calls a "perfect matching" of this T-diagram. Among all the T-diagrams, find the maximum number of "perfect matching" of a T-diagram.

We call a table of size $n \times n$ self-describing if each cell of the table contains the total number of even numbers in its row and column other than itself. How many self-describing tables of size a) $3 \times 3$ exist? b) $4 \times 4$ exist? c) $5 \times 5$ exist? Two tables are different if they differ in at least one cell.
