There are $n$ knights numbered $1$ to $n$ and a round table with $n$ chairs. The first knight chooses his chair, and from him, the knight number $k+1$ sits $ k$ places to the right of knight number $k$ , for all $1 \le k\le n-1$ (occupied and empty seats are counted). In particular, the second knight sits next to the first. Find all values ​​of $n$ such that the $n$ gentlemen occupy the $n$ chairs following the described procedure.

Alphonse and Beryl are playing a game. The game starts with two rectangles with integer side lengths. The players alternate turns, with Alphonse going first. On their turn, a player chooses one rectangle, and makes a cut parallel to a side, cutting the rectangle into two pieces, each of which has integer side lengths. The player then discards one of the three rectangles (either the one they did not cut, or one of the two pieces they cut) leaving two rectangles for the other player. A player loses if they cannot cut a rectangle. Determine who wins each of the following games: (a) The starting rectangles are $1 \times 2020$ and $2 \times 4040$. (b) The starting rectangles are $100 \times 100$ and $100 \times 500$.

A rectangular sheet of paper with integer length sides is given. The sheet is marked with unit squares. Arrows are drawn at each lattice point on the sheet in a way that each arrow is parallel to one of its sides, and the arrows at the boundary of the paper do not point outwards. Prove that there exists at least one pair of neighboring lattice points (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) such that the arrows drawn at these points are in opposite directions.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Every square in a $n \times n$-square grid is either white or black. How many such colourings exist, if every $2 \times 2$-square consists of exactly two white and two black squares? The squares in the grid are identified as e.g. in a chessboard, so in general colourings obtained from each other by rotation are different.

Let $k,n$ be positive integers with $n \geq k \geq 3$. We consider $n+1$ points on the real plane with none three of them on the same line. We colour any segment between the points with one of $k$ possibilities. We say that an angle is a "bicolour angle" iff its vertex is one of the $n+1$ points and the two segments that define it are of different colours. Show that there is always a way to colour the segments that makes more than $n \Big\lfloor{\frac{n}{k}}\Big\rfloor^2 \frac{k(k-1)}{2}$ bicolour angles.

Find the least constant $C$ such the inequality \[\sum_{i<j} x_{i}x_{j} \left(x^{2}_{i}+x^{2}_{j} \right) \leq C \left(\sum_{i}x_{i} \right)^4\] holds for any $x_{1}, \ldots ,x_{n} \geq 0$ (the sum on the left consists of $\binom{n}{2}$ summands). For this constant $C$, characterize the instances of equality.

Suppose that $\overline{AY}$ bisects $\angle LAZ$ and $AY=YZ$.

Assume we have $95$ boxes and $19$ balls distributed in these boxes in an arbitrary manner. We take $6$ new balls at a time and place them in $6$ of the boxes, one ball in each of the six. Can we, by repeating this process a suitable number of times, achieve a situation in which each of the $95$ boxes contains an equal number of balls?

Place eight rooks on a standard $8 \times 8$ chessboard so that no two are in the same row or column. With the standard rules of chess, this means that no two rooks are attacking each other. Now paint $27$ of the remaining squares (not currently occupied by rooks) red. Prove that no matter how the rooks are arranged and which set of $27$ squares are painted, it is always possible to move some or all of the rooks so that: • All the rooks are still on unpainted squares. • The rooks are still not attacking each other (no two are in the same row or same column). • At least one formerly empty square now has a rook on it; that is, the rooks are not on the same $8$ squares as before.
