We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n},\] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof.
Prove that $F_{n-1}F_{n}F_{n+1}L_{n-1}L_{n}L_{n+1}(n \geq 2)$ is not a perfect square.

1. Baron Munchhausen was told that some polynomial $P(x)=a_{n} x^{n}+\ldots+a_{1} x+a_{0}$ is such that $P(x)+P(-x)$ has exactly 45 distinct real roots. Baron doesn't know the value of $n$. Nevertheless he claims that he can determine one of the coefficients $a_{n}, \ldots, a_{1}, a_{0}$ (indicating its position and value). Isn't Baron mistaken?

A particle moves through the first quadrant as follows. During the first minute it moves from the origin to $(1,0)$. Thereafter, it continues to follow the directions indicated in the figure, going back and forth between the positive $x$ and $y$ axes, moving one unit of distance parallel to an axis in each minute. At which point will the particle be after exactly $1989$ minutes?

There are several coins in a row, and the [i]allowed move[/i] is to remove exactly one coin from the row, which can either be the first or the last. In the initial distribution, there are $n$ coins with not necessarily equal values. Ana and María alternate turns. Ana starts, making two moves, then María makes one move, then Ana makes two moves, and so on until no coins remain: Ana makes two moves and María makes one. (Only in the last move can Ana take one coin if only one coin is left.) Ana's goal is to ensure she takes at least $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of the total value of the coins.
Determine if Ana can achieve her goal with certainty if
[list=a]
[*]$n=2013$
[*]$n=2014$
[/list]
If the answer is yes, provide a strategy to achieve it; if the answer is no, give a specific sequence of coins and explain how María prevents Ana from achieving her goal.
