Consider polynomials $P$ of degree $2015$, all of whose coefficients are in the set $\{0,1,\dots,2010\}$. Call such a polynomial [i]good[/i] if for every integer $m$, one of the numbers $P(m)-20$, $P(m)-15$, $P(m)-1234$ is divisible by $2011$, and there exist integers $m_{20}, m_{15}, m_{1234}$ such that $P(m_{20})-20, P(m_{15})-15, P(m_{1234})-1234$ are all multiples of $2011$. Let $N$ be the number of good polynomials. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$. [i]Proposed by Yang Liu[/i]

Sixty-four dice with the numbers ”one” to ”six” are placed on one table and formed into a square with eight horizontal and eight vertical rows of cubes pushed together. By rotating the dice, while maintaining their place, we want to finally have all sixty-four dice the "one" points upwards. Each dice however, may not be turned individually, but only every eight dice in a horizontal or vertical row together by $90^o$ to the longitudinal axis of this row may turn. Prove that it is always possible to solve the dice by repeatedly applying the permitted type of rotation to the required end position.

2021 Denmark MO - Mohr Contest, 3

Georg investigates which integers are expressible in the form $$\pm 1^2 \pm 2^2 \pm 3^2 \pm \dots \pm n^2.$$ For example, the number $3$ can be expressed as $ -1^2 + 2^2$, and the number $-13$ can be expressed as $+1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 - 4^2 + 5^2 - 6^2$. Are all integers expressible in this form?

Let $ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle. Its $C$-excircle tangent to the segment $AB$ meets $AB$ at point $M$ and the extension of $BC$ beyond $B$ at point $N$. Analogously, its $B$-excircle tangent to the segment $AC$ meets $AC$ at point $P$ and the extension of $BC$ beyond $C$ at point $Q$. Denote by $A_1$ the intersection point of the lines $MN$ and $PQ$, and let $A_2$ be defined as the point, symmetric to $A$ with respect to $A_1$. Define the points $B_2$ and $C_2$, analogously. Prove that $\triangle ABC$ is similar to $\triangle A_2B_2C_2$.

A random walk is a process in which something moves from point to point, and where the direction of movement at each step is randomly chosen. Suppose that a person conducts a random walk on a line: he starts at $0$ and each minute randomly moves either $1$ unit in the positive direction or $1$ unit in the negative direction. What is his expected distance from the origin after $6$ moves? [i]2017 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning Round #3.4[/i]

Let each sequence of capital Bulgarian letters be a word (Note that the Bulgarian alphabet consists of 30 letters). We say that a word is [i]calm[/i], if there is no sequence of the letter $P$ in it (two letters $P$ next to each other). Find a clear expression for $f(n)$ (closed formula), which represents the number of calm words with length $n$. Example: [i]РНТ[/i] and [i]ТТРВ[/i] are calm, but [i]ЖГРР[/i] and [i]ЖРРРП[/i] aren’t.

Players $A$ and $B$ play the following game. Each of them throws a dice, and if the outcomes are $x$ and $y$ respectively, a list of all two digit numbers $10a + b$ with $a,b\in \{1,..,6\}$ and $10a + b \le 10x + y$ is created. Then the players alternately reduce the list by replacing a pair of numbers in the list by their absolute difference, until only one number remains. If the remaining number is of the same parity as the outcome of $A$’s throw, then $A$ is proclaimed the winner. What is the probability that $A$ wins the game?
