2010 Tuymaada Olympiad, 3

Arranged in a circle are $2010$ digits, each of them equal to $1$, $2$, or $3$. For each positive integer $k$, it's known that in any block of $3k$ consecutive digits, each of the digits appears at most $k+10$ times. Prove that there is a block of several consecutive digits with the same number of $1$s, $2$s, and $3$s.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Humanity will begin to colonize Mars. The SpaceY and SpaceZ agencies will be responsible for traveling between the planets. To prevent the rockets from colliding, they will travel alternately, with SpaceY making the first trip. On each trip, the responsible agency will do one of two types of mission: (i) choose a positive integer $k$ and take $k$ people to Mars, creating a new colony on the planet and settling them in that colony; (ii) choose some existing colony on Mars and a positive integer $k$ strictly smaller than the population of that colony, and bring $k$ people from that colony back to Earth. To maintain the organization on Mars, a mission cannot result in two colonies with the same population and the number of colonies must be at most $n$. The first agency that cannot carry out a mission will go bankrupt. Determine, in terms of $n$, which agency can guarantee that it will not go bankrupt first.

In the film there is $n$ roles. For each $i$ ($1 \le i \le n$), the role of number $i$ can play $a_i$ a person, and one person can play only one role. Every day a casting is held, in which participate people for $n$ roles, and from each role only one person. Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p \ge a_1, \ldots, a_n, n$. Prove that you can have $p^k$ castings such that if we take any $k$ people who are tried in different roles, they together participated in some casting ($k$ is a natural number not exceeding $n$ ).

Color every vertex of $2008$-gon with two colors, such that adjacent vertices have different color. If sum of angles of vertices of first color is same as sum of angles of vertices of second color, than we call $2008$-gon as interesting. Convex $2009$-gon one vertex is marked. It is known, that if remove any unmarked vertex, then we get interesting $2008$-gon. Prove, that if we remove marked vertex, then we get interesting $2008$-gon too.

A loader has two carts. One of them can carry up to 8 kg, and another can carry up to 9 kg. A finite number of sacks with sand lie in a storehouse. It is known that their total weight is more than 17 kg, while each sack weighs not more than 1 kg. What maximum weight of sand can the loader carry on his two carts, regardless of particular weights of sacks? [i]Author: M.Ivanov, D.Rostovsky, V.Frank[/i]

A cube consisting of $(2N)^3$ unit cubes is pierced by several needles parallel to the edges of the cube (each needle pierces exactly $2N$ unit cubes). Each unit cube is pierced by at least one needle. Let us call any subset of these needles “regular” if there are no two needles in this subset that pierce the same unit cube. a) Prove that there exists a regular subset consisting of $2N^2$ needles such that all of them have either the same direction or two different directions. b) What is the maximum size of a regular subset that does exist for sure?

Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of natural numbers. Define a function $T:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ by $T(2k)=k$ and $T(2k+1)=2k+2$.

Triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ is an equilateral triangle with sidelength $1$. For each $n>1$, we construct triangle $A_nB_nC_n$ from $A_{n-1}B_{n-1}C_{n-1}$ according to the following rule: $A_n,B_n,C_n$ are points on segments $A_{n-1}B_{n-1},B_{n-1}C_{n-1},C_{n-1}A_{n-1}$ respectively, and satisfy the following: \[\dfrac{A_{n-1}A_n}{A_nB_{n-1}}=\dfrac{B_{n-1}B_n}{B_nC_{n-1}}=\dfrac{C_{n-1}C_n}{C_nA_{n-1}}=\dfrac1{n-1}\] So for example, $A_2B_2C_2$ is formed by taking the midpoints of the sides of $A_1B_1C_1$. Now, we can write $\tfrac{|A_5B_5C_5|}{|A_1B_1C_1|}=\tfrac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers. Find $m+n$. (For a triangle $\triangle ABC$, $|ABC|$ denotes its area.)

Ebeneezer is painting the edges of a cube. He wants to paint the edges so that the colored edges form a loop that does not intersect itself. For example, the loop should not look like a “figure eight” shape. If two colorings are considered equivalent if there is a rotation of the cubes so that the colored edges are the same, what is the number of possible edge colorings?
