2021 Canada National Olympiad, 5

Nina and Tadashi play the following game. Initially, a triple $(a, b, c)$ of nonnegative integers with $a+b+c=2021$ is written on a blackboard. Nina and Tadashi then take moves in turn, with Nina first. A player making a move chooses a positive integer $k$ and one of the three entries on the board; then the player increases the chosen entry by $k$ and decreases the other two entries by $k$. A player loses if, on their turn, some entry on the board becomes negative. Find the number of initial triples $(a, b, c)$ for which Tadashi has a winning strategy.

Alberto and Barbara play the following game. Initially, there are some piles of coins on a table. Each player in turn, starting with Albert, performs one of the two following ways: 1) take a coin from an arbitrary pile; 2) select a pile and divide it into two non-empty piles. The winner is the player who removes the last coin on the table. Determine which player has a winning strategy with respect to the initial state.

2023 Rioplatense Mathematical Olympiad, 4

Luffy is playing with some magic boxes and a machine. Each box has a value(number) inside. Opening a box, Luffy sees the value, adds the value to his score(if the box value is negative, Luffy loses points) and destroys the box. Putting a box of value $X$ in the machine, this box vanishes and it is replaced by two new boxes of values $X+1$ and $X-1$(it's [b]not[/b] known which one has the respective value, but he can identify the new boxes). At the beginning, Luffy has $0$ points and has a box whose value is known(it is zero). a) Prove that Luffy can reach at least $1000$ points b) Is it possible that Luffy reaches at least $1000000$ points, [b]without[/b] have less than $-42$ points in any moment?
