A cafe has 3 tables and 5 individual counter seats. People enter in groups of size between 1 and 4, inclusive, and groups never share a table. A group of more than 1 will always try to sit at a table, but will sit in counter seats if no tables are available. Conversely, a group of 1 will always try to sit at the counter first. One morning, $M$ groups consisting of a total of $N$ people enter and sit down. Then, a single person walks in, and realizes that all the tables and counter seats are occupied by some person or group. What is the minimum possible value of $M + N$?

[b]p1.[/b] (a) Suppose $101$ Dalmatians chase $2012$ squirrels. Each squirrel gets chased by at most one Dalmatian, and each Dalmatian chases at least one squirrel. Show that two Dalmatians chase the same number of squirrels.
(b) What is the largest number of Dalmatians that can chase $2012$ squirrels in a way that each Dalmatian chases at least one squirrel and no two Dalmatians chase the same number of squirrels?
[b]p2.[/b] Lucy and Linus play the following game. They start by putting the integers $1, 2, 3, ..., 2012$ in a hat. In each round of the game, Lucy and Linus each draw a number from the hat. If the two numbers are $a$ and $b$, they throw away these numbers and put the number $|a - b|$ back into the hat. After $2011$ rounds, there is only one number in the hat. If it is even, Lucy wins. If it is odd, Linus wins.
(a) Prove that there is a sequence of drawings that makes Lucy win.
(b) Prove that Lucy always wins.

[b]p4.[/b] Suppose that each point in three-dimensional space is colored with one of five colors and suppose that each color is used at least once. Prove that there is some plane that contains at least four of the colors.
[b]p5.[/b] Two circles, $C_1$ and $C_2$, are tangent at point $A$, with $C_1$ lying inside $C_2$ (and $C_1 \ne C_2$). The line through their centers intersects $C_1$ at $B_1$ and $C_2$ at $B_2$. A line $L$ is drawn through $A$ and it intersects $C_1$ at $P_1$ (with $P_1 \ne A$) and intersects $C_2$ at $P_2$ (with $P_2 \ne A$). The perpendicular from $P_2$ to the line $B_1B_2$ intersects the line $B_1B_2$ at $F$. Prove that if the line $P_1F$ is tangent to $C_1$ then $F$ is the midpoint of the line segment $B_1B_2$.

Let $D$ be an infinite (in one direction) sequence of zeros and ones. For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $a_n$ denote the number of distinct subsequences of consecutive symbols in $D$ of length $n$. Does there exist a sequence $D$ for which the inequality
\[
\left|\frac{a_n}{n\log_2 n} - 1\right| < \frac{1}{100}
\]
is satisfied for every natural number $n > 10^{10000}$?

In two neigbouring cells(dimensions $1\times 1$) of square table $10\times 10$ there is hidden treasure. John needs to guess these cells. In one $\textit{move}$ he can choose some cell of the table and can get information whether there is treasure in it or not. Determine minimal number of $\textit{move}$'s, with properly strategy, that always allows John to find cells in which is treasure hidden.

The board used for playing a game consists of the left and right parts. In each part there are several fields and there’re several segments connecting two fields from different parts (all the fields are connected.) Initially, there is a violet counter on a field in the left part, and a purple counter on a field in the right part. Lyosha and Pasha alternatively play their turn, starting from Pasha, by moving their chip (Lyosha-violet, and Pasha-purple) over a segment to other field that has no chip. It’s prohibited to repeat a position twice, i.e. can’t move to position that already been occupied by some earlier turns in the game. A player losses if he can’t make a move. Is there a board and an initial positions of counters that Pasha has a winning strategy?
