2021 Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad, Problem 8

Shakur and Tiham are playing a game. Initially, Shakur picks a positive integer not greater than $1000$. Then Tiham picks a positive integer strictly smaller than that.Then they keep on doing this taking turns to pick progressively smaller and smaller positive integers until some one picks $1$. After that, all the numbers that have been picked so far are added up. The person picking the number $1$ wins if and only if this sum is a perfect square. Otherwise, the other player wins. What is the sum of all possible values of $n$ such that if Shakur starts with the number $n$, he has a winning strategy?

We are given $n$ reals $a_1,a_2,\cdots , a_n$ such that the sum of any two of them is non-negative. Prove that the following statement and its converse are both true: if $n$ non-negative reals $x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_n$ satisfy $x_1+x_2+\cdots +x_n=1$, then the inequality $a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\cdots +a_nx_n\ge a_1x^2_1+ a_2x^2_2+\cdots + a_nx^2_n$ holds.

A boy goes $n$ times at a merry-go-round with $n$ seats. After every time he moves in the clockwise direction and takes another seat, not making a full circle. The number of seats he passes by at each move is called the length of the move. For which $n$ can he sit at every seat, if the lengths of all the $n-1$ moves he makes have different lengths? [i]V.

Let $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ be a function such that for all positive integers $x$ and $y$, the number $f(x)+y$ is a perfect square if and only if $x+f(y)$ is a perfect square. Prove that $f$ is injective. [i]Remark.[/i] A function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ is injective if for all pairs $(x,y)$ of distinct positive integers, $f(x)\neq f(y)$ holds.

Mr. Lopez has a choice of two routes to get to work. Route A is $6$ miles long, and his average speed along this route is $30$ miles per hour. Route B is $5$ miles long, and his average speed along this route is $40$ miles per hour, except for a $\frac{1}{2}$-mile stretch in a school zone where his average speed is $20$ miles per hour. By how many minutes is Route B quicker than Route A? $\textbf{(A)}\ 2 \frac{3}{4} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3 \frac{3}{4} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 4 \frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 5 \frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 6 \frac{3}{4}$

Let $n \geq 3$ be a fixed integer. The number $1$ is written $n$ times on a blackboard. Below the blackboard, there are two buckets that are initially empty. A move consists of erasing two of the numbers $a$ and $b$, replacing them with the numbers $1$ and $a+b$, then adding one stone to the first bucket and $\gcd(a, b)$ stones to the second bucket. After some finite number of moves, there are $s$ stones in the first bucket and $t$ stones in the second bucket, where $s$ and $t$ are positive integers. Find all possible values of the ratio $\frac{t}{s}$.

There are lily pads in a row numbered 0 to 11, in that order. There are predators on lily pads 3 and 6, and a morsel of food on lily pad 10. Fiona the frog starts on pad 0, and from any given lily pad, has a $\tfrac{1}{2}$ chance to hop to the next pad, and an equal chance to jump 2 pads. What is the probability that Fiona reaches pad 10 without landing on either pad 3 or pad 6? $\textbf{(A) } \frac{15}{256} \qquad \textbf{(B) } \frac{1}{16} \qquad \textbf{(C) } \frac{15}{128}\qquad \textbf{(D) } \frac{1}{8} \qquad \textbf{(E) } \frac14$
