Let $k$ be a positive integer. Determine the least positive integer $n$, with $n\geq k+1$, for which the game below can be played indefinitely: Consider $n$ boxes, labelled $b_1,b_2,...,b_n$. For each index $i$, box $b_i$ contains exactly $i$ coins. At each step, the following three substeps are performed in order: [b](1)[/b] Choose $k+1$ boxes; [b](2)[/b] Of these $k+1$ boxes, choose $k$ and remove at least half of the coins from each, and add to the remaining box, if labelled $b_i$, a number of $i$ coins. [b](3)[/b] If one of the boxes is left empty, the game ends; otherwise, go to the next step. [i]Proposed by Demetres Christofides, Cyprus[/i]

We have an $n \times n$ square divided into unit squares. Each side of unit square is called unit segment. Some isoceles right triangles of hypotenuse $2$ are put on the square so all their vertices are also vertices of unit squares. For which $n$ it is possible that every unit segment belongs to exactly one triangle(unit segment belongs to a triangle even if it's on the border of the triangle)?

On a party, there are 6 boys and a number of girls. Two of the girls know exactly four boys each and the remaining girls know exactly two boys each. None of the boys know more than three girls. (We assume that if $ A$ knows $ B$, then $ B$ will also know $ A$). Then, the greatest possible number of girls on the party is $ \text{(A)}\ 6 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 7 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 8 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 9 \qquad \text{(E)}\ \text{10 or more}$

Pasha and Vova play the game crossing out the cells of the $3\times 101$ board by turns. At the start, the central cell is crossed out. By one move the player chooses the diagonal (there can be $1, 2$ or $3$ cells in the diagonal) and crosses out cells of this diagonal which are still uncrossed. At least one new cell must be crossed out by any player's move. Pasha begins, the one who can not make any move loses. Who has a winning strategy?
