We call a natural number $n$ good if each of the numbers $n$, $ n+1$, $n+2$ and $n+3$ are divided by the sum of their digits. (For example, $n = 60398$ is good.) Does the penultimate digit of a good number ending in eight have to be nine?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$, and $A$-excenter $\Gamma$. Let $A_1,B_1,C_1$ be the points of tangency of $\Gamma$ with $BC,AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Suppose $IA_1, IB_1$ and $IC_1$ intersect $\Gamma$ for the second time at points $A_2,B_2,C_2$, respectively. $M$ is the midpoint of segment $AA_1$. If the intersection of $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ is $X$, and the intersection of $A_1C_1$ and $A_2C_2$ is $Y$, prove that $MX=MY$.

Let $m, n, p$ be fixed positive real numbers which satisfy $mnp = 8$. Depending on these constants, find the minimum of $$x^2+y^2+z^2+ mxy + nxz + pyz,$$
where $x, y, z$ are arbitrary positive real numbers satisfying $xyz = 8$. When is the equality attained?

In a mathematical version of baseball, the umpire chooses a positive integer $m$, $m \leq n$, and you guess positive integers to obtain information about $m$. If your guess is smaller than the umpire's $m$, he calls it a "ball"; if it is greater than or equal to $m$, he calls it a "strike." To "hit" it you must state the the correct value of $m$ after the 3rd strike or the 6th guess, whichever comes first. What is the largest $n$ so that there exists a strategy that will allow you to bat 1.000, i.e. always state $m$ correctly? Describe your strategy in detail.

2003 Costa Rica - Final Round, 1
Two players $A$ and $B$ participate in the following game. Initially we have a pile of 2003 stones. $A$ plays first, and he picks a divisor of 2003 and removes that number of stones from the pile. Then $B$ picks a divisor of the number of remaining stones, and removes that number of stones from the pile, and so forth. The players who removes the last stone loses. Prove that one of the players has a winning strategy and describe it.

A beam of light strikes $\overline{BC}$ at point $C$ with angle of incidence $\alpha=19.94^\circ$ and reflects with an equal angle of reflection as shown. The light beam continues its path, reflecting off line segments $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BC}$ according to the rule: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. Given that $\beta=\alpha/10=1.994^\circ$ and $AB=AC,$ determine the number of times the light beam will bounce off the two line segments. Include the first reflection at $C$ in your count.

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer and consider an $n \times n$ chessboard of $n^2$ unit squares. In some of the cells of the chessboard, we place a knight. A knight in a cell $c$ is said to [i]attack [/i] a cell $c'$ if the distance between the centers of $c$ and $c'$ is exactly $\sqrt{5}$ (in particular, a knight does not attack the cell which it occupies).
Suppose each cell of the board is attacked by an even number of knights (possibly zero). Show that the configuration of knights is symmetric with respect to all four axes of symmetry of the board (i.e. the configuration of knights is both horizontally and vertically symmetric, and also unchanged by reflection along either diagonal of the chessboard).

There are $2003$ coins distributed in several bags. The bags are then distributed in several pockets. It is known that the total number of bags is greater than the number of coins in each of the pockets. Is it true that the total number of pockets is greater than the number of coins in some of the bags?
