Determine all pairs of positive integers $(m, n)$ for which there exists a bijective function \[f : \mathbb{Z}_m \times \mathbb{Z}_n \to \mathbb{Z}_m \times \mathbb{Z}_n\]such that the vectors $f(\mathbf{v}) + \mathbf{v}$, as $\mathbf{v}$ runs through all of $\mathbb{Z}_m \times \mathbb{Z}_n$, are pairwise distinct. (For any integers $a$ and $b$, the vectors $[a, b], [a + m, b]$ and $[a, b + n]$ are treated as equal.) [i]Poland, Wojciech Nadara[/i]

Pete has an instrument which can locate the midpoint of a line segment, and also the point which divides the line segment into two segments whose lengths are in a ratio of $n : (n + 1)$, where $n$ is any positive integer. Pete claims that with this instrument, he can locate the point which divides a line segment into two segments whose lengths are at any given rational ratio. Is Pete right?

Let $n \ge 1$ be a positive integer. An $n \times n$ matrix is called [i]good[/i] if each entry is a non-negative integer, the sum of entries in each row and each column is equal. A [i]permutation[/i] matrix is an $n \times n$ matrix consisting of $n$ ones and $n(n-1)$ zeroes such that each row and each column has exactly one non-zero entry. Prove that any [i]good[/i] matrix is a sum of finitely many [i]permutation[/i] matrices.

In the sequence $ 2001, 2002, 2003, \ldots$, each term after the third is found by subtracting the previous term from the sum of the two terms that precede that term. For example, the fourth term is $ 2001 \plus{} 2002 \minus{} 2003 \equal{} 2000$. What is the $ 2004^\text{th}$ term in this sequence? $ \textbf{(A)} \minus{} \! 2004 \qquad \textbf{(B)} \minus{} \! 2 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 0 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 4003 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 6007$

Ann and Max play a game on a $100 \times 100$ board. First, Ann writes an integer from 1 to 10 000 in each square of the board so that each number is used exactly once. Then Max chooses a square in the leftmost column and places a token on this square. He makes a number of moves in order to reach the rightmost column. In each move the token is moved to a square adjacent by side or vertex. For each visited square (including the starting one) Max pays Ann the number of coins equal to the number written in that square. Max wants to pay as little as possible, whereas Ann wants to write the numbers in such a way to maximise the amount she will receive. How much money will Max pay Ann if both players follow their best strategies? [i]Lev Shabanov[/i]
