Consider a regular $n$-gon $A_1A_2\ldots A_n$ with area $S$. Let us draw the lines $l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_n$ perpendicular to the plane of the $n$-gon at $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n$ respectively. Points $B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_n$ are selected on lines $l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_n$ respectively so that:
(i) $B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_n$ are all on the same side of the plane of the $n$-gon;
(ii) Points $B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_n$ lie on a single plane;
(iii) $A_1B_1=h_1,A_2B_2=h_2,\ldots,A_nB_n=h_n$.

Let $n>2$ be a positive integer. Masha writes down $n$ natural numbers along a circle. Next, Taya performs the following operation: Between any two adjacent numbers $a$ and $b$, she writes a divisor of the number $a+b$ greater than $1$, then Taya erases the original numbers and obtains a new set of $n$ numbers along the circle. Can Taya always perform these operations in such a way that after some number of operations, all the numbers are equal?

A sequence of pairwise distinct positive integers is called averaging if each term after the first two is the average of the previous two terms. Let $M$ be the maximum possible number of terms in an averaging sequence in which every term is less than or equal to $2022$ and let $N$ be the number of such distinct sequences (every term less than or equal to $2022$) with exactly $M$ terms. What is $M+N?$ (Two sequences $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n$ and $b_1, b_2, \cdots, b_n$ are said to be distinct if $a_i \neq b_i$ for some integer $1 \leq i \leq n$).

The "> 96" in [b](b)[/b] can be strengthened to "> 124". By the way, part [b](a)[/b] of this problem is the place where I used [url=http://mathlinks.ro/viewtopic.php?t=5537]the well-known "Dedekind" theorem[/url].

On a circular table sit $\displaystyle {n> 2}$ students. First, each student has just one candy. At each step, each student chooses one of the following actions:
(A) Gives a candy to the student sitting on his left or to the student sitting on his right.
(B) Separates all its candies in two, possibly empty, sets and gives one set to the student sitting on his left and the other to the student sitting on his right.
At each step, students perform the actions they have chosen at the same time.
A distribution of candy is called legitimate if it can occur after a finite number of steps.
Find the number of legitimate distributions.
(Two distributions are different if there is a student who has a different number of candy in each of these distributions.)

We are given an $18\times 18$ table, all of whose cells may be black or white. Initially all the cells are coloured white. We may perform the following operation: choose one column or one row and change the colour of all cells in this column or row. Is it possible by repeating the operation to obtain a table with exactly $16$ black cells?

Two teams are in a best-two-out-of-three playoff: the teams will play at most $3$ games, and the winner of the playoff is the first team to win $2$ games. The first game is played on Team A's home field, and the remaining games are played on Team B's home field. Team A has a $\frac{2}{3}$ chance of winning at home, and its probability of winning when playing away from home is $p$. Outcomes of the games are independent. The probability that Team A wins the playoff is $\frac{1}{2}$. Then $p$ can be written in the form $\frac{1}{2}(m - \sqrt{n})$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. What is $m + n$?
