Let $a,b$ be two integers such that their gcd has at least two prime factors. Let $S = \{ x \mid x \in \mathbb{N}, x \equiv a \pmod b \} $ and call $ y \in S$ irreducible if it cannot be expressed as product of two or more elements of $S$ (not necessarily distinct). Show there exists $t$ such that any element of $S$ can be expressed as product of at most $t$ irreducible elements.

In the rectangular table shown below, the number $1$ is written in the upper-left hand corner, and every number is the sum of the any numbers directly to its left and above. The table extends infinitely downwards and to the right.
\[
\begin{array}{cccccc}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots \\
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & \cdots \\
1 & 3 & 6 & 10 & 15 & \cdots \\
1 & 4 & 10 & 20 & 35 & \cdots \\

Wanda the Worm, who is on a diet after a feast two years ago, wants to eat $n$ numbers (not necessarily distinct in value) from the table such that the sum of the numbers is less than one million. However, she cannot eat two numbers in the same row or column (or both). What is the largest possible value of $n$?

Prove that the system of equations
\[\sqrt{y-a}+\sqrt{z-a}=1\]
\[\sqrt{z-b}+\sqrt{x-b}=1\]
\[\sqrt{x-c}+\sqrt{y-c}=1\]

It was proposed by Poland. Have fun! :lol:

Let $t = (a, b, c)$, and let us define $f^1 (t) = (a + b, b + c, c + a)$ and $f^k (t) = f^{k-1}(f^1(t))$ for all $k > 1$. Furthermore, a permutation of $t$ has the same elements, just in a different order (e.g., $(b, c, a)$). If $f^{2013}(s)$ is a permutation of $s$ for some $s = (k, m, n)$, where $k, m$, and $n$ are integers such that $|k|, |m|, |n|\le 10$, how many possible values of $s$ are there?

For every ordered pair of integers $(i,j)$, not necessarily positive, we wish to select a point $P_{i,j}$ in the Cartesian plane whose coordinates lie inside the unit square defined by
\[ i < x < i+1, \qquad j < y < j+1. \]
Find all real numbers $c > 0$ for which it's possible to choose these points such that for all integers $i$ and $j$, the (possibly concave or degenerate) quadrilateral $P_{i,j} P_{i+1,j} P_{i+1,j+1} P_{i,j+1}$ has perimeter strictly less than $c$.

You have $128$ teams in a single elimination tournament. The Engineers and the Crimson are two of these teams. Each of the $128$ teams in the tournament is equally strong, so during each match, each team has an equal probability of winning.
Now, the $128$ teams are randomly put into the bracket.
What is the probability that the Engineers play the Crimson sometime during the tournament?
