Six free cells are given in a row. Players $A$ and $B$ alternately write digits from $0$ to $9$ in empty cells, with $A$ starting. When all the cells are filled, one considers the obtained six-digit number $z$. Player $B$ wins if $z$ is divisible by a given natural number $n$, and loses otherwise. For which values of $n$ not exceeding $20$ can $B$ win independently of his opponent’s moves?

For positive integers $n$, let $f_2(n)$ denote the number of divisors of $n$ which are perfect squares, and $f_3(n)$ denotes the number of positive divisors which are perfect cubes. Prove that for each positive integer $k$ there exists a positive integer $n$ for which $\frac{f_2(n)}{f_3(n)}=k$.

A point in the cartesian plane with integer coordinates is called a lattice point. Consider the following one player game. A finite set of selected lattice points and finite set of selected segments is called a position in this game if the following hold: (i) The endpoints of each selected segment are lattice points; (ii) Each selected segment is parallel to a coordinate axis or to one of the lines $y = \pm x$, (iii) Each selected segment contains exactly five lattice points, all of which are selected, (iv) Every two selected segments have at most one common point. A move in this game consists of selecting a lattice point and a segment such that the new set of selected lattice points and segments is a position. Prove or disprove that there exists an initial position such that the game can have infinitely many moves.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcentre $O$. The points $D,E,F$ lie in the interiors of the sides $BC,CA,AB$ respectively, such that $DE$ is perpendicular to $CO$ and $DF$ is perpendicular to $BO$. (By interior we mean, for example, that the point $D$ lies on the line $BC$ and $D$ is between $B$ and $C$ on that line.) Let $K$ be the circumcentre of triangle $AFE$. Prove that the lines $DK$ and $BC$ are perpendicular. [i]Netherlands (Merlijn Staps)[/i]

I'm thinking of two whole numbers. Their product is 24 and their sum is 11. What is the larger number? $ \text{(A)}\ 3\qquad\text{(B)}\ 4\qquad\text{(C)}\ 6\qquad\text{(D)}\ 8\qquad\text{(E)}\ 12 $

A ball was launched on a rectangular billiard table at an angle of $45^o$ to one of the sides. Reflected from all sides (the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection), he returned to his original position . It is known that one of the sides of the table has a length of one meter. Find the length of the second side. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/d/e0310ea910c7e3272396cd034421d1f3e88228.png[/img]

The writer Arthur has $n \ge1$ co-authors who write books with him. Each book has a list of authors including Arthur himself. No two books have the same set of authors. At a party with all his co-author, each co-author writes on a note how many books they remember having written with Arthur. Inspecting the numbers on the notes, they discover that the numbers written down are the first $n$ Fibonacci numbers (defined by $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_{k+2}= F_{k+1} + F_k$). For which $n$ is it possible that none of the co-authors had a lapse of memory?

A convicted person will be released when he reaches the top of a $100$-step staircase. But he cannot advance as he pleases, since he is obliged to go up one step each day of the odd-numbered months and go down one step each day of the even-numbered months. If it begins on January $ 1$, $2001$, what day will it be released?
