Archimedes planned to count all of the prime numbers between $2$ and $1000$ using the Sieve of Eratosthenes as follows: (a) List the integers from $2$ to $1000$. (b) Circle the smallest number in the list and call this $p$. (c) Cross out all multiples of $p$ in the list except for $p$ itself. (d) Let $p$ be the smallest number remaining that is neither circled nor crossed out. Circle $p$. (e) Repeat steps $(c)$ and $(d)$ until each number is either circled or crossed out. At the end of this process, the circled numbers are prime and the crossed out numbers are composite. Unfortunately, while crossing out the multiples of $2$, Archimedes accidentally crossed out two odd primes in addition to crossing out all the even numbers (besides $2$). Otherwise, he executed the algorithm correctly. If the number of circled numbers remaining when Archimedes finished equals the number of primes from $2$ to $1000$ (including $2$), then what is the largest possible prime that Archimedes accidentally crossed out?

Mica wrote a list of numbers using the following procedure. The first number is $1$, and then, at each step, he wrote the result of adding the previous number plus $3$. The first numbers on Mica's list are $$1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,\dots.$$ Next, Facu underlined all the numbers in Mica's list that are greater than $10$ and less than $100000,$ and that have all their digits the same. What are the numbers that Facu underlined?

In a country there are several cities; some of these cities are connected by airlines, so that an airline connects exactly two cities in each case and both flight directions are possible. Each airline belongs to one of $k$ flight companies; two airlines of the same flight company have always a common final point. Show that one can partition all cities in $k+2$ groups in such a way that two cities from exactly the same group are never connected by an airline with each other.

In triangle $ABC$, points $A'$, $B'$, and $C'$ are chosen with $A'$ on segment $AB$, $B'$ on segment $BC$, and $C'$ on segment $CA$ so that triangle $A'B'C'$ is directly similar to $ABC$.
