A function $f$ is defined on the natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ and satisfies the following rules:
(a) $f(1)=1$;
(b) $f(2n)=f(n)$ and $f(2n+1)=f(2n)+1$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$.
Calculate the maximum value $m$ of the set $\{f(n):n\in \mathbb{N}, 1\le n\le 1989\}$, and determine the number of natural numbers $n$, with $1\le n\le 1989$, that satisfy the equation $f(n)=m$.

A [i]triminó[/i] is a rectangular tile of $1\times 3$. Is it possible to cover a $8\times8$ chessboard using $21$ triminós, in such a way there remains exactly one $1\times 1$ square without covering? In case the answer is in the affirmative, determine all the possible locations of such a unit square in the chessboard.

Consider the sequence $s_0 = (1, 2008)$. Define new sequences $s_i$ inductively by inserting the sum of each pair of adjacent terms in $s_{i-1}$ between them — for instance, $s_1 = (1, 2009, 2008)$. For some $n, s_n$ has exactly one term that appears twice. Find this repeated term.

NASA is launching a spaceship at the south pole, but a sudden earthquake shock caused the spaceship to be launched at an angle of $\theta$ from vertical ($0 < \theta < 90^\circ$). The spaceship crashed back to Earth, and NASA found the debris floating in the ocean in the northern hemisphere. NASA engineers concluded that $\tan \theta > M$, where $M$ is maximal. Find $M$.
Assume that the Earth is a sphere, and the trajectory of the spaceship (in the reference frame of Earth) is an ellipse with the center of the Earth one of the foci.

For what values of $ n$ does the group $ \textsl{SO}(n)$ of all orthogonal transformations of determinant $ 1$ of the $ n$-dimensional Euclidean space possess a closed regular subgroup?($ \textsl{G}<\textsl{SO}(n)$ is called $ \textit{regular}$ if for any elements $ x,y$ of the unit sphere there exists a unique $ \varphi \in \textsl{G}$ such that $ \varphi(x)\equal{}y$.)

Christopher and Robin are playing a game in which they take turns tossing a circular token of diameter 1 inch onto an infinite checkerboard whose squares have sides of 2 inches. If the token lands entirely in a square, the player who tossed the token gets 1 point; otherwise, the other player gets 1 point. A player wins as soon as he gets two more points than the other player. If Christopher tosses first, what is the probability that he will win? Express your answer as a fraction.

Let $A$ be a subset of the edges of an $n\times n $ table. Let $V(A)$ be the set of vertices from the table which are connected to at least on edge from $A$ and $j(A)$ be the number of the connected components of graph $G$ which it's vertices are the set $V(A)$ and it's edges are the set $A$.
