A number is called a palindromic number if its decimal representation read from the left to the right is the same as read from the right to the left. Let $(x_n)$ be the increasing sequence of all palindromic numbers. Determine all primes, which are divisors of at least one of the differences $x_{n+1} - x_n$.

As shown in the figure, chess pieces are placed at the intersection points of the $64$ grid lines of the $7\times 7$ grid table. At most $1$ piece is placed at each point, and a total of $k$ left chess pieces are placed. No matter how they are placed, there will always be $4$ chess pieces, and the grid in which they are located the points form the four vertices of a rectangle (the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the grid lines). Try to find the minimum value of $k$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/5/b/23a79f43d3f4c9aade1ba9eaa7a282c3b3b86f.png[/img]

Starting with any $n$-tuple $R_0$, $n\ge 1$, of symbols from $A,B,C$, we define a sequence $R_0, R_1, R_2,\ldots,$ according to the following rule: If $R_j= (x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$, then $R_{j+1}= (y_1,y_2,\ldots,y_n)$, where $y_i=x_i$ if $x_i=x_{i+1}$ (taking $x_{n+1}=x_1$) and $y_i$ is the symbol other than $x_i, x_{i+1}$ if $x_i\neq x_{i+1}$. Find all positive integers $n>1$ for which there exists some integer $m>0$ such that $R_m=R_0$.

Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a $ \$390$ debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way? $ \textbf{(A) } \$5\qquad \textbf{(B) } \$10\qquad \textbf{(C) } \$30\qquad \textbf{(D) } \$90\qquad \textbf{(E) } \$210$

[b]p1.[/b] Consider this statement: An equilateral polygon circumscribed about a circle is also equiangular. Decide whether this statement is a true or false proposition in euclidean geometry. If it is true, prove it; if false, produce a counterexample. [b]p2.[/b] Show that the fraction $\frac{x^2-3x+1}{x-3}$ has no value between $1$ and $5$, for any real value of $x$.

He walks $4$ miles per hour on the level, three miles per hour uphill, and $r$ miles per hour downhill. For what values of $r$ will this information uniquely determine his total walking distance? [b]p4.[/b] A point $P$ is so located in the interior of a rectangle that the distance of $P$ from one comer is $5$ yards, from the opposite comer is $14$ yards, and from a third comer is $10$ yards. What is the distance from $P$ to the fourth comer?

Each row consists of the integers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ in some order. ii.

Each of the integers from $1$ to $n$ is written on a separate card, and then the cards are combined into a deck and shuffled. Three players, $A,B,$ and $C,$ take turns in the order $A,B,C,A,\dots$ choosing one card at random from the deck. (Each card in the deck is equally likely to be chosen.) After a card is chosen, that card and all higher-numbered cards are removed from the deck, and the remaining cards are reshuffled before the next turn. Play continues until one of the three players wins the game by drawing the card numbered $1.$ Show that for each of the three players, there are arbitrarily large values of $n$ for which that player has the highest probability among the three players of winning the game.
