We define $N !!$ to be $N(N - 2)(N -4)...5 \cdot 3 \cdot 1$ if $N$ is odd and $N(N -2)(N -4)... 6\cdot 4\cdot 2$ if $N$ is even .
For example, $8 !! = 8 \cdot 6\cdot 4\cdot 2$ , and $9 !! = 9v 7 \cdot 5\cdot 3 \cdot 1$ .
Prove that $1986 !! + 1985 !!$ i s divisible by $1987$.

We want to split the set of natural numbers from $1$ to $3n$, where $n$ is a natural number, into $n$ mutually disjoint sets $\{x,y,z\}$ of three elements such that always holds: $x + y = 3z$. Is this possible for :
a) $n = 5$?
b) $n=10$?
In both cases, provide either such a split or proof that such a split is not possible.

Lucy (mass $\text{33.1 kg}$), Henry (mass $\text{63.7 kg}$), and Mary (mass $\text{24.3 kg}$) sit on a lightweight seesaw at evenly spaced $\text{2.74 m}$ intervals (in the order in which they are listed; Henry is between Lucy and Mary) so that the seesaw balances. Who exerts the most torque (in terms of magnitude) on the seesaw? Ignore the mass of the seesaw.
(A) Henry
(B) Lucy
(C) Mary
(D) They all exert the same torque.
(E) There is not enough information to answer the question.

We have four wooden triangles with sides $3, 4, 5$ centimeters. How many convex polygons can we make by all of these triangles? (Just draw the polygons without any proof)
A convex polygon is a polygon which all of it's angles are less than $180^o$ and there isn't any hole in it. For example:

A sequence of natural numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3,..$ is called [i]periodic modulo[/i] $n$ if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that, for any positive integer $i$, the terms $a_i$ and $a_{i+k}$ are equal modulo $n$. Does there exist a strictly increasing sequence of natural numbers that
a) is not periodic modulo finitely many positive integers and is periodic modulo all the other positive integers?
b) is not periodic modulo infinitely many positive integers and is periodic modulo infinitely many positive integers?

A car rides along a circular track in the clockwise direction. At noon Peter and Paul took their positions at two different points of the track. Some moment later they simultaneously ended their duties and compared their notes. The car passed each of them at least $30$ times. Peter noticed that each circle was passed by the car $1$ second faster than the preceding one while Paul’s observation was opposite: each circle was passed $1$ second slower than the preceding one.
Prove that their duty was at least an hour and a half long.

A cube is divided into $8$ smaller cubes of the same size, as shown in the figure. Then, each of these small cubes is divided again into $8$ smaller cubes of the same size. This process is done $4$ more times to each resulting cube. What is the ratio between the sum of the total areas of all the small cubes resulting from the last division and the total area of the initial cube?
