Wesyu is a farmer, and she's building a cao (a relative of the cow) pasture. Shw starts with a triangle $A_0A_1A_2$ where angle $A_0$ is $90^\circ$, angle $A_1$ is $60^\circ$, and $A_0A_1$ is $1$. She then extends the pasture. FIrst, she extends $A_2A_0$ to $A_3$ such that $A_3A_0=\dfrac12A_2A_0$ and the new pasture is triangle $A_1A_2A_3$. Next, she extends $A_3A_1$ to $A_4$ such that $A_4A_1=\dfrac16A_3A_1$. She continues, each time extending $A_nA_{n-2}$ to $A_{n+1}$ such that $A_{n+1}A_{n-2}=\dfrac1{2^n-2}A_nA_{n-2}$. What is the smallest $K$ such that her pasture never exceeds an area of $K$?

The sequences $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ and $b_1, b_2, b_3,... $suffices for all positive integers $n$ of the following recursion: $a_{n+1} = a_n - b_n$ and $b_{n+1} = 2b_n$, if $a_n \ge b_n$, $a_{n+1} = 2a_n$ and $b_{n+1} = b_n - a_n$, if $a_n < b_n$. For which pairs $(a_1, b_1)$ of positive real initial terms is there an index $k$ with $a_k = 0$?

2021 IMO Shortlist, C6

A hunter and an invisible rabbit play a game on an infinite square grid. First the hunter fixes a colouring of the cells with finitely many colours. The rabbit then secretly chooses a cell to start in. Every minute, the rabbit reports the colour of its current cell to the hunter, and then secretly moves to an adjacent cell that it has not visited before (two cells are adjacent if they share an edge). The hunter wins if after some finite time either:[list][*]the rabbit cannot move; or [*]the hunter can determine the cell in which the rabbit started.[/list]Decide whether there exists a winning strategy for the hunter.

We are looking for numbers ending with the digit $5$ such that in their decimal expansion each digit beginning with the second digit is no less than the previous one. Moreover the squares of these numbers must also possess the same property. (a) Find four such numbers. (b) Prove that there are infinitely many. (A. Andjans, Riga)

A plane is cut into unit squares, which are then colored in $n$ colors. A polygon $P$ is created from $n$ unit squares that are connected by their sides. It is known that any cell polygon created by $P$ with translation, covers $n$ unit squares in different colors. Prove that the plane can be covered with copies of $P$ so that each cell is covered exactly once.

Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers, such that for any positive integer $n$, $a_n$ is not representable in the for $\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}c_ia_i$ for $c_i \in \{0, 1\}$.

The coach lined up $200$ volleyball players and gave them $m$ balls (each volleyball player could get any number of balls). From time to time, one of the volleyball players throws the ball to another (and he catches it). After a while, it turned out that of any two volleyball players, the left one threw the ball to the right exactly twice, and the right one to the left exactly once. For which minimum $m$ is this possible?
