Let $p{}$ and $q{}$ be two coprime positive integers. A frog hops along the integer line so that on every hop it moves either $p{}$ units to the right or $q{}$ units to the left. Eventually, the frog returns to the initial point. Prove that for every positive integer $d{}$ with $d < p + q$ there are two numbers visited by the frog which differ just by $d{}$.

Let $k$ be a given even positive integer. Sarah first picks a positive integer $N$ greater than $1$ and proceeds to alter it as follows: every minute, she chooses a prime divisor $p$ of the current value of $N$, and multiplies the current $N$ by $p^k -p^{-1}$ to produce the next value of $N$. Prove that there are infinitely many even positive integers $k$ such that, no matter what choices Sarah makes, her number $N$ will at some point be divisible by $2018$.

Let $k$ be an odd number that is greater than or equal to $3$. Prove that there exists a $k^{th}$-degree integer-valued polynomial with non-integer-coefficients that has the following properties: (1) $f(0)=0$ and $f(1)=1$; and. (2) There exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ so that if the following equation: \[ n= f(x_1)+\cdots+f(x_s), \] has integer solutions $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_s$, then $s \geq 2^k-1$.

A domino is a $ 1 \times 2 $ or $ 2 \times 1 $ tile. Let $n \ge 3 $ be an integer. Dominoes are placed on an $n \times n$ board in such a way that each domino covers exactly two cells of the board, and dominoes do not overlap. The value of a row or column is the number of dominoes that cover at least one cell of this row or column. The configuration is called balanced if there exists some $k \ge 1 $ such that each row and each column has a value of $k$. Prove that a balanced configuration exists for every $n \ge 3 $, and find the minimum number of dominoes needed in such a configuration.
