Let $ n$ be an even positive integer. Prove that there exists a positive inter $ k$ such that \[ k \equal{} f(x) \cdot (x\plus{}1)^n \plus{} g(x) \cdot (x^n \plus{} 1)\] for some polynomials $ f(x), g(x)$ having integer coefficients. If $ k_0$ denotes the least such $ k,$ determine $ k_0$ as a function of $ n,$ i.e. show that $ k_0 \equal{} 2^q$ where $ q$ is the odd integer determined by $ n \equal{} q \cdot 2^r, r \in \mathbb{N}.$ Note: This is variant A6' of the three variants given for this problem.

2021 Junior Balkan Team Selection Tests - Romania, P1

On a board, Ana and Bob start writing $0$s and $1$s alternatively until each of them has written $2021$ digits. Ana starts this procedure and each of them always adds a digit to the right of the already existing ones. Ana wins the game if, after they stop writing, the resulting number (in binary) can be written as the sum of two squares. Otherwise, Bob wins. Determine who has a winning strategy.

Ana draws a checkered board that has at least 20 rows and at least 24 columns. Then, Beto must completely cover that board, without holes or overlaps, using only pieces of the following two types: Each piece must cover exactly 4 or 3 squares of the board, as shown in the figure, without leaving the board. It is permitted to rotate the pieces and it is not necessary to use all types of pieces. Explain why, regardless of how many rows and how many columns Ana's board has, Beto can always complete his task.

Two turtles, the leader and the slave, are crawling along the plane from point $A$ to point $B$. They crawl in turn: first the leader crawls some distance, then the slave crawls some distance in a straight line towards the leading one. Then the leader crawls somewhere again, after which the slave crawls towards the leader, etc. Finally, they both crawl to $B$. Prove that the slave turtle crawled no more than the leading one.
