Define a \emph{crossword puzzle} to be a $15 \times 15$ grid of squares, each of which is either black or white. In a crossword puzzle, define a \emph{word} to be a sequence of one or more consecutive white squares in a row or column such that the squares immediately before and after the sequence both are either black or nonexistent. (The latter case would occur if an end of a word coincides with an end of a row or column of the grid.) A crossword puzzle is \emph{tasty} if every word consists of an even number of white squares. Compute the sum of all nonnegative integers $n$ such that there exists a tasty crossword puzzle with exactly $n$ white squares. [i]Proposed by Luke Robitaille[/i]

We are given one red and $k>1$ blue cells, and a pack of $2n$ cards, enumerated by the numbers from $1$ to $2n$. Initially, the pack is situated on the red cell and arranged in an arbitrary order. In each move, we are allowed to take the top card from one of the cells and place it either onto the top of another cell on which the number on the top card is greater by $1$, or onto an empty cell. Given $k$, what is the maximal $n$ for which it is always possible to move all the cards onto a blue cell?

In a game, Andi and a computer take turns. At the beginning, the computer shows a polynomial $x^2 + mx + n$ where $m,n \in \mathbb{Z}$, such that it doesn't have real roots. Andi then begins the game. On his turn, Andi may change a polynomial in the form $x^2 + ax + b$ into either $x^2 + (a+b)x + b$ or $x^2 + ax + (a+b)$. However, Andi may only choose a polynomial that has real roots. On the computer's turn, it simply switches the coefficient of $x$ and the constant of the polynomial. Andi loses if he can't continue to play. Find all $(m,n)$ such that Andi always loses (in finitely many turns).
