A [i]Nim-style game[/i] is defined as follows. Two positive integers $k$ and $n$ are specified, along with a finite set $S$ of $k$-tuples of integers (not necessarily positive). At the start of the game, the $k$-tuple $(n, 0, 0, ..., 0)$ is written on the blackboard. A legal move consists of erasing the tuple $(a_1,a_2,...,a_k)$ which is written on the blackboard and replacing it with $(a_1+b_1, a_2+b_2, ..., a_k+b_k)$, where $(b_1, b_2, ..., b_k)$ is an element of the set $S$. Two players take turns making legal moves, and the first to write a negative integer loses. In the event that neither player is ever forced to write a negative integer, the game is a draw. Prove that there is a choice of $k$ and $S$ with the following property: the first player has a winning strategy if $n$ is a power of 2, and otherwise the second player has a winning strategy.

One day I went for a walk in the morning at $x$ minutes past $5'O$ clock, where $x$ is a 2 digit number. When I returned, it was $y$ minutes past $6'O$ clock, and I noticed that (i) I walked for exactly $x$ minutes and (ii) $y$ was a 2 digit number obtained by reversing the digits of $x$. How many minutes did I walk?

Let $n>1$ be a positive integer. Ana and Bob play a game with other $n$ people. The group of $n$ people form a circle, and Bob will put either a black hat or a white one on each person's head. Each person can see all the hats except for his own one. They will guess the color of his own hat individually. Before Bob distribute their hats, Ana gives $n$ people a strategy which is the same for everyone. For example, it could be "guessing the color just on your left" or "if you see an odd number of black hats, then guess black; otherwise, guess white". Ana wants to maximize the number of people who guesses the right color, and Bob is on the contrary. Now, suppose Ana and Bob are clever enough, and everyone forms a strategy strictly. How many right guesses can Ana guarantee? [i]Proposed by China.[/i]

An encyclopedia consists of ${2000}$ numbered volumes. The volumes are stacked in order with number ${1}$ on top and ${2000}$ in the bottom. One may perform two operations with the stack: (i) For ${n}$ even, one may take the top ${n}$ volumes and put them in the bottom of the stack without changing the order. (ii) For ${n}$ odd, one may take the top ${n}$ volumes, turn the order around and put them on top of the stack again. How many different permutations of the volumes can be obtained by using these two operations repeatedly?
