KoMaL A Problems 2023/2024, A. 875

$ a)$ Two players play a cooperative game. They can discuss a strategy prior to the game, however, they cannot communicate and have no information about the other player during the game. The game master chooses one of the players in each round. The player on turn has to guess the number of the current round. Players keep note of the number of rounds they were chosen, however, they have no information about the other player's rounds. If the player's guess is correct, the players are awarded a point. Player's are not notified whether they've scored or not. The players win the game upon collecting 100 points. Does there exist a strategy with which they can surely win the game in a finite number of rounds? $b)$ How does this game change, if in each round the player on turn has two guesses instead of one, and they are awarded a point if one of the guesses is correct (while keeping all the other rules of the game the same)?

Given a $\triangle ABC$ with its area equal to $1$, suppose that the vertices of quadrilateral $P_1P_2P_3P_4$ all lie on the sides of $\triangle ABC$. Show that among the four triangles $\triangle P_1P_2P_3, \triangle P_1P_2P_4, \triangle P_1P_3P_4, \triangle P_2P_3P_4$ there is at least one whose area is not larger than $1/4$.

2015 Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad, 3

The workers laid a floor of size $n \times n$ with tiles of two types: $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 1$. It turned out that they were able to completely lay the floor in such a way that the same number of tiles of each type was used. Under what conditions could this happen? (You can’t cut tiles and also put them on top of each other.)

2022-23 IOQM India, 10

Consider the $10$-digit number $M=9876543210$. We obtain a new $10$-digit number from $M$ according to the following rule: we can choose one or more disjoint pairs of adjacent digits in $M$ and interchange the digits in these chosen pairs, keeping the remaining digits in their own places. For example, from $M=9\underline{87}6 \underline{54} 3210$ by interchanging the $2$ underlined pairs, and keeping the others in their places, we get $M_{1}=9786453210$. Note that any number of (disjoint) pairs can be interchanged. Find the number of new numbers that can be so obtained from $M$.

Let $s_1,s_2,s_3,s_4,...$ be a sequence (infinite list) of $1$s and $0$s. For example $1,0,1,0,1,0,...$, that is, $s_n=1$ if $n$ is odd and $s_n=0$ if $n$ is even, is such a sequence. Prove that it is possible to delete infinitely many terms in $s_1,s_2,s_3,s_4,...$ so that the resulting sequence is the original sequence. For the given example, one can delete $s_3,s_4,s_7,s_8,s_{11},s_{12},...$

2000 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 8.8

There are 2000 cities in the country. Every city is connected by non-stop two-way airlines with some other cities, and for each city, the number of airlines originating from it is a factor of two. (i.e. $1$, $2$, $4$, $8$, $...$). For each city $A$, the statistician calculated the number routes with no more than one transfer connecting $A$ with other cities, and then summed up the results for all $2000$ cities. He got $100,000$. Prove that the statistician was wrong.
