A round robin tournament is held with $2016$ participants. Each round, after seeing the results from the previous round, the tournament organizer chooses two players to play a game with each other that will result in a win for one of the players and a loss for the other. The tournament organizer wants each person to have a different total number of wins at the end of $k$ rounds. Find the minimum possible value of $k$ for which this can always be guaranteed.

Three cyclists started simultaneously on three parallel straight paths (at the time of the start, the athletes were on the same straight line). Cyclists travel at constant speeds. $1$ second after the start, the triangle formed by the cyclists had an area of $5$ m$^2$. What area will such a triangle have in $10$ seconds after the start?

Anna and Brian play a game where they put the domino tiles (of size $2 \times 1$) in a boards composed of $n \times 1$ boxes. Tiles must be placed so that they cover exactly two boxes. Players take turnslaying each tile and the one laying last tile wins. They play once for each $n$, where $n = 2, 3,\dots,2007$. Show that Anna wins at least $1505$ of the games if she always starts first and they both always play optimally, ie if they do their best to win in every move.

Alan is assigning values to lattice points on the 3d coordinate plane. First, Alan computes the roots of the cubic $20x^3-22x^2+2x+1$ and finds that they are $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$. He finds out that each of these roots satisfy $|\alpha|,|\beta|,|\gamma|\leq 1$ On each point $(x,y,z)$ where $x,y,$ and $z$ are all nonnegative integers, Alan writes down $\alpha^x\beta^y\gamma^z$. What is the value of the sum of all numbers he writes down? [i]Proposed by Alan Abraham[/i]
