An equilateral triangle side $10$ is divided into $100$ equilateral triangles of side $1$ by lines parallel to its sides. There are m equilateral tiles of $4$ unit triangles and $25 - m$ straight tiles of $4$ unit triangles (as shown below). For which values of $m$ can they be used to tile the original triangle. [The straight tiles may be turned over.]

Suppose $ABCD$ is a square piece of cardboard with side length $a$. On a plane are two parallel lines $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$, which are also $a$ units apart. The square $ABCD$ is placed on the plane so that sides $AB$ and $AD$ intersect $\ell_1$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. Also, sides $CB$ and $CD$ intersect $\ell_2$ at $G$ and $H$ respectively. Let the perimeters of $\triangle AEF$ and $\triangle CGH$ be $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively. Prove that no matter how the square was placed, $m_1+m_2$ remains constant.

2006 QEDMO 2nd, 11

On each of the 2006 cards a natural number is written. Cards are placed arbitrarily in a row. 2 players take in turns a card from any end of the row until all the cards are taken. After that each player calculates sum of the numbers written of his cards. If the sum of the first player is not less then the sum of the second one then the first player wins. Show that there's a winning strategy for the first player.

A game works as follows: the player pays $2$ tokens to enter the game. Then, a fair coin is flipped. If the coin lands on heads, they receive $3$ tokens; if the coin lands on tails, they receive nothing. A player starts with $2$ tokens and keeps playing this game until they do not have enough tokens to play again. What is the expected value of the number of tokens they have left at the end?
