On a blackboard a positive integer $n_0$ is written. Two players, $A$ and $B$ are playing a game, which respects the following rules: $-$ acting alternatively per turn, each player deletes the number written on the blackboard $n_k$ and writes instead one number denoted with $n_{k+1}$ from the set $\left\{n_k-1, \dsp \left\lfloor\frac {n_k}3\right\rfloor\right\}$; $-$ player $A$ starts first deleting $n_0$ and replacing it with $n_1\in\left\{n_0-1, \dsp \left\lfloor\frac {n_0}3\right\rfloor\right\}$; $-$ the game ends when the number on the table is 0 - and the player who wrote it is the winner. Find which player has a winning strategy in each of the following cases: a) $n_0=120$; b) $n_0=\dsp \frac {3^{2002}-1}2$; c) $n_0=\dsp \frac{3^{2002}+1}2$.

On a plane, a line $\ell$ and two circles $c_1$ and $c_2$ of different radii are given such that $\ell$ touches both circles at point $P$. Point $M \ne P$ on $\ell$ is chosen so that the angle $Q_1MQ_2$ is as large as possible where $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are the tangency points of the tangent lines drawn from $M$ to $c_i$ and $c_2$, respectively, differing from $\ell$ .

Let $ABC$ be an acute angled triangle. The arc between $A$ and $B$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$ is reflected through the line $AB$, and the arc between $A$ and $C$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$ is reflected over the line $AC$. Obviously these two reflected arcs intersect at the point $A$. Prove that they also intersect at another point inside the triangle $ABC$.

Joy has $30$ thin rods, one each of every integer length from $1$ cm through $30$ cm. She places the rods with lengths $3$ cm, $7$ cm, and $15$ cm on a table. She then wants to choose a fourth rod that she can put with these three to form a quadrilateral with positive area. How many of the remaining rods can she choose as the fourth rod? $\textbf{(A) }16\qquad\textbf{(B) }17\qquad\textbf{(C) }18\qquad\textbf{(D) }19\qquad\textbf{(E) }20$

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the set of positive integer sequences (with at least two terms) whose terms sum to $2019$. For a sequence of positive integers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k$, its \emph{value} is defined to be \[V(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k) = \frac{a_1^{a_2} a_2^{a_3} \cdots a_{k-1}^{a_k}}{a_1! a_2! \cdots a_k!}.\] Then the sum of the values over all sequences in $\mathcal{S}$ is $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute the remainder when $m+n$ is divided by $1000$. [i]Proposed by Sean Li[/i]
