1) The numbers $1,2,3,\ldots,2010$ are written on the blackboard. Two players in turn erase some two numbers and replace them with one number. The first player replaces numbers $a$ and $b$ with $ab-a-b$ while the second player replaces them with $ab+a+b.$ The game ends when a single number remains on the blackboard. If this number is smaller than $1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot\ldots\cdot2010$ then the first player wins. Otherwise the second player wins. Which of the players has a winning strategy? 2) The numbers $1,2,3,\ldots,2010$ are written on the blackboard. Two players in turn erase some two numbers and replace them with one number.

[b]p1.[/b] a) Given four points in the plane, no three of which lie on the same line, each subset of three points determines the vertices of a triangle. Can all these triangles have equal areas? If so, give an example of four points (in the plane) with this property, and then describe all arrangements of four joints (in the plane) which permit this. If no such arrangement exists, prove this. b) Repeat part a) with "five" replacing "four" throughout. [b]p2.[/b] Three people at the base of a long stairway begin a race up the stairs. Person A leaps five steps with each stride (landing on steps $5$, $10$, $15$, etc.). Person B leaps a little more slowly but covers six steps with each stride. Person C leaps seven steps with each stride. A picture taken near the end of the race shows all three landing simultaneously, with Person A twenty-one steps from the top, person B seven steps from the top, and Person C one step from the top.

A massless elastic cord (that obeys Hooke's Law) will break if the tension in the cord exceeds $T_{max}$. One end of the cord is attached to a fixed point, the other is attached to an object of mass $3m$. If a second, smaller object of mass m moving at an initial speed $v_0$ strikes the larger mass and the two stick together, the cord will stretch and break, but the final kinetic energy of the two masses will be zero. If instead the two collide with a perfectly elastic one-dimensional collision, the cord will still break, and the larger mass will move off with a final speed of $v_f$. All motion occurs on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy of the system of two masses after the perfectly elastic collision and the cord has broken to the initial kinetic energy of the smaller mass prior to the collision. $ \textbf{(A)}\ 1/4 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1/3 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 1/2 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3/4 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{none of the above} $

Ben flips a coin 10 times and then records the absolute difference between the total number of heads and tails he's flipped. He then flips the coin one more time and records the absolute difference between the total number of heads and tails he's flipped. If the probability that the second number he records is greater than the first can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for positive integers $a,b$ with $\gcd (a,b) = 1$, then find $a + b$.

Hugo places a chess piece on the top left square of a $20 \times 20$ chessboard and makes $10$ moves with it. On each of these $10$ moves, he moves the piece either one square horizontally (left or right) or one square vertically (up or down). After the last move, he draws an $X$ on the square that the piece occupies. When Hugo plays the game over and over again, what is the largest possible number of squares that could eventually be marked with an $X$? Prove that your answer is correct.
