Kunal and Arnab play a game as follows. Initially there are $2$ piles of coins with $x$ and $y$ coins respectively. The game starts with Kunal. In each turn a player chooses one pile and removes as many coins as he wants from that pile. The game goes on and the last one to remove a coin loses. Determine all possible values of $(x,y)$ which ensure Kunal's victory against Arnab given both os them play optimally. \\ [i]You are required to find an exhaustive set of solutions[/i]

As shown in the figure, $\odot O_1$ and $\odot O_2$ touches each other externally at a point $T$, quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in $\odot O_1$, and the lines $DA$, $CB$ are tangent to $\odot O_2$ at points $E$ and $F$ respectively. Line $BN$ bisects $\angle ABF$ and meets segment $EF$ at $N$. Line $FT$ meets the arc $\widehat{AT}$ (not passing through the point $B$) at another point $M$ different from $A$. Prove that $M$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle BCN$.

$ABC$ is a right-angled triangle, with $\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}$. $B'$ is the reflection of $B$ over $AC$. $M$ is the midpoint of $AC$. We choose $D$ on $\overrightarrow{BM}$, such that $BD = AC$. Prove that $B'C$ is the angle bisector of $\angle MB'D$. NOTE: An important condition not mentioned in the original problem is $AB<BC$. Otherwise, $\angle MB'D$ is not defined or $B'C$ is the external bisector.

You are given a rectangular playing field of size $13 \times 2$ and any number of dominoes of sizes $2\times 1$ and $3\times 1$. The playing field should be seamless with such dominoes and without overlapping, with no domino protruding beyond the playing field may. Furthermore, all dominoes must be aligned in the same way, i. e. their long sides must be parallel to each other. How many such coverings are possible? (Walther Janous)

There were finitely many persons at a party among whom some were friends. Among any $4$ of them there were either $3$ who were all friends among each other or $3$ who weren't friend with each other. Prove that you can separate all the people at the party in two groups in such a way that in the first group everyone is friends with each other and that all the people in the second group are not friends to anyone else in second group. (Friendship is a mutual relation).
