2008 239 Open Mathematical Olympiad, 5

You are given a checkered square, the side of which is $n – 1$ long and contains $n \geq 10$ nodes. A non-return path is a path along edges, the intersection of which with any horizontal or vertical line is a segment, point or empty set, and which does not pass along any edge more than once. What is the smallest number of non-return paths that can cover all the edges? (An edge is a unit segment between adjacent nodes.)

In the game of Yahtzee , players have to achieve various combinations of values with $5$ dice. In a round, a player can roll the dice three times. At the second and third rolls, he can choose which dice to re-roll and which to keep. What is the probability that a player achieves at least four $6$’s in a round, given that he plays with the optimal strategy to maximise this probability? Writing the answer as $p/q$ where $p$ and $q$ are coprime, you should submit the sum of all prime factors of $p$, counted with multiplicity. So for example if you obtained $\frac{p}{q} = \frac{3^4 \cdot 11}{ 2^5 \cdot 5}$ then the submitted answer should be $4 \cdot 3 + 11 = 23$.

Gleb picked positive integers $N$ and $a$ ($a < N$). He wrote the number $a$ on a blackboard. Then each turn he did the following: he took the last number on the blackboard, divided the number $N$ by this last number with remainder and wrote the remainder onto the board. When he wrote the number $0$ onto the board, he stopped. Could he pick $N$ and $a$ such that the sum of the numbers on the blackboard would become greater than $100N$ ? Ivan Mitrofanov
