2022 Lusophon Mathematical Olympiad, 2

Anselmo and Claudio are playing alternatively a game with fruits in a box. The box initially has $32$ fruits. Anselmo plays first and each turn consists of taking away $1$, $2$ or $3$ fruits from the box or taking away $\frac{2}{3}$ of the fruits from the box (this is only possible when the number of the fruits left in the box is a multiple of $3$). The player that takes away the last fruit from the box wins. Which of these two players has a winning strategy? How should that player play in order to win?

A country has $2023$ cities and there are flights between these cities. Each flight connects two cities in both directions. We know that you can get from any city to any other using these flights, and from each city there are flights to at most $4$ other cities. What is the maximum possible number of cities in the country from which there is a flight to only one city?

Kevin is in kindergarten, so his teacher puts a $100 \times 200$ addition table on the board during class. The teacher first randomly generates distinct positive integers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_{100}$ in the range $[1, 2016]$ corresponding to the rows, and then she randomly generates distinct positive integers $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_{200}$ in the range $[1, 2016]$ corresponding to the columns. She then fills in the addition table by writing the number $a_i+b_j$ in the square $(i, j)$ for each $1\le i\le 100$, $1\le j\le 200$. During recess, Kevin takes the addition table and draws it on the playground using chalk. Now he can play hopscotch on it! He wants to hop from $(1, 1)$ to $(100, 200)$. At each step, he can jump in one of $8$ directions to a new square bordering the square he stands on a side or at a corner. Let $M$ be the minimum possible sum of the numbers on the squares he jumps on during his path to $(100, 200)$ (including both the starting and ending squares). The expected value of $M$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $p, q$. Find $p + q.$ [i]Proposed by Yang Liu[/i]

A lake contains $250$ trout, along with a variety of other fish. When a marine biologist catches and releases a sample of $180$ fish from the lake, $30$ are identified as trout.

How many fish are there in the lake? $\textbf{(A)}~1250\qquad \textbf{(B)}~1500\qquad \textbf{(C)}~1750\qquad \textbf{(D)}~1800\qquad \textbf{(E)}~2000$

On the vertices of a convex $ n$-gon are put $ m$ stones, $ m > n$. In each move we can choose two stones standing at the same vertex and move them to the two distinct adjacent vertices. After $ N$ moves the number of stones at each vertex was the same as at the beginning. Prove that $ N$ is divisible by $ n$.

Each positive integer is coloured red or blue. A function $f$ from the set of positive integers to itself has the following two properties: (a) if $x\le y$, then $f(x)\le f(y)$; and (b) if $x,y$ and $z$ are (not necessarily distinct) positive integers of the same colour and $x+y=z$, then $f(x)+f(y)=f(z)$. Prove that there exists a positive number $a$ such that $f(x)\le ax$ for all positive integers $x$. [i](United Kingdom) Ben Elliott[/i]
