A classroom consists of a $5\times5$ array of desks, to be filled by anywhere from 0 to 25 students, inclusive. No student will sit at a desk unless either all other desks in its row or all others in its column are filled (or both). Considering only the set of desks that are occupied (and not which student sits at each desk), how many possible arrangements are there?

A long thin strip of paper is 1024 units in length, 1 unit in width, and is divided into 1024 unit squares. The paper is folded in half repeatedly. For the first fold, the right end of the paper is folded over to coincide with and lie on top of the left end. The result is a 512 by 1 strip of double thickness. Next, the right end of this strip is folded over to coincide with and lie on top of the left end, resulting in a 256 by 1 strip of quadruple thickness. This process is repeated 8 more times. After the last fold, the strip has become a stack of 1024 unit squares. How many of these squares lie below the square that was originally the 942nd square counting from the left?

Prove that for any prime number $p > 3$ exist integers $x, y, k$ that meet conditions: $0 < 2k < p$ and $kp + 3 = x^2 + y^2$.

Smallville is populated by unmarried men and women, some of which are acquainted. The two City Matchmakers know who is acquainted with whom. One day, one of the matchmakers claimed: "I can arrange it so that every red haired man will marry a woman with who he is acquainted." The other matchmaker claimed: "I can arrange it so that every blonde woman will marry a man with whom she is acquainted." An amateur mathematician overheard this conversation and said: "Then it can be arranged so that every red haired man will marry a woman with whom he is acquainted and at the same time very blonde woman will marry a man with who she is acquainted." Is the mathematician right?

The base of a convex pyramid has an odd number of edges. The lateral edges of the pyramid are all equal, and the angles between neighbouring faces are all equal. Show that the base must be a regular polygon.

Estimate the number of ordered pairs $(p,q)$ of positive integers at most $2020$ such that the cubic equation $x^3-px-q=0$ has three distinct real roots. If your estimate is $E$ and the answer is $A$, your score for this problem will be \[\Big\lfloor15\min\Big(\frac{A}{E},\frac{E}{A}\Big)\Big\rfloor.\] [i]Proposed by Alex Li[/i]

The acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB\neq AC$ has circumcircle $\Gamma$, circumcenter $O$, and orthocenter $H$. The midpoint of $BC$ is $M$, and the extension of the median $AM$ intersects $\Gamma$ at $N$. The circle of diameter $AM$ intersects $\Gamma$ again at $A$ and $P$. Show that the lines $AP$, $BC$, and $OH$ are concurrent if and only if $AH = HN$.

A triangle $ABC$ with area $1$ is given. Anja and Bernd are playing the following game: Anja chooses a point $X$ on side $BC$. Then Bernd chooses a point $Y$ on side $CA$ und at last Anja chooses a point $Z$ on side $AB$. Also, $X,Y$ and $Z$ cannot be a vertex of triangle $ABC$. Anja wants to maximize the area of triangle $XYZ$ and Bernd wants to minimize that area. What is the area of triangle $XYZ$ at the end of the game, if both play optimally?

In the notebooks of Peter and Nick, two numbers are written. Initially, these two numbers are 1 and 2 for Peter and 3 and 4 for Nick. Once a minute, Peter writes a quadratic trinomial $f(x)$, the roots of which are the two numbers in his notebook, while Nick writes a quadratic trinomial $g(x)$ the roots of which are the numbers in [i]his[/i] notebook. If the equation $f(x)=g(x)$ has two distinct roots, one of the two boys replaces the numbers in his notebook by those two roots. Otherwise, nothing happens. If Peter once made one of his numbers 5, what did the other one of his numbers become?
