A circle is divided into $13$ segments, numbered consecutively from $1$ to $13$. Five fleas called $A,B,C,D$ and $E$ are sitting in the segments $1,2,3,4$ and $5$. A flea is allowed to jump to an empty segment five positions away in either direction around the circle. Only one flea jumps at the same time, and two fleas cannot be in the same segment. After some jumps, the fleas are back in the segments $1,2,3,4,5$, but possibly in some other order than they started. Which orders are possible ?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $Q$ a point on the internal angle bisector of $\angle BAC $. Circle $\omega_1$ is circumscribed to triangle $BAQ$ and intersects the segment $AC$ in point $P \neq C$. Circle $\omega_2$ is circumscribed to the triangle $CQP$. Radius of the cirlce $\omega_1$ is larger than the radius of $\omega_2$. Circle centered at $Q$ with radius $QA$ intersects the circle $\omega_1$ in points $A$ and $A_1$. Circle centered at $Q$ with radius $QC$ intersects $\omega_1$ in points $C_1$ and $C_2$. Prove $\angle A_1BC_1 = \angle C_2PA $.

Grant is standing at the beginning of a hallway with infinitely many lockers, numbered, $1, 2, 3, \ldots$ All of the lockers are initially closed. Initially, he has some set $S = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots\}$.
Every step, for each element $s$ of $S$, Grant goes through the hallway and opens each locker divisible by $s$ that is closed, and closes each locker divisible by $s$ that is open. Once he does this for all $s$, he then replaces $S$ with the set of labels of the currently open lockers, and then closes every door again.
After $2022$ steps, $S$ has $n$ integers that divide ${10}^{2022}$. Find $n$.

There are $2024$ cities in a country, every two of which are bidirectionally connected by exactly one of three modes of transportation - rail, air, or road. A tourist has arrived in this country and has the entire transportation scheme. He chooses a travel ticket for one of the modes of transportation and the city from which he starts his trip. He wants to visit as many cities as possible, but using only the ticket for the specified type of transportation. What is the largest $k$ for which the tourist will always be able to visit at least $k$ cities? During the route, he can return to the cities he has already visited.

Define [i]glueing[/i] of positive integers as writing their base ten representations one after another and
interpreting the result as the base ten representation of a single positive integer.
Find all positive integers $k$ for which there exists an integer $N_k$ with the following property: for all $n \ge N_k$, we can glue the numbers $1,2,\dots,n$ in some order so that the result is a number divisible by $k$.
[i]Remark[/i]. The base ten representation of a positive integer never starts with zero.
[i]Example[/i]. Glueing $15, 14, 7$ in this order makes $15147$.
