Let $X$ be a finite set of real numbers. For any $x,x' \in X$ with $x<x'$, define a function $f(x,x')$, then $f$ is called an ordered pair function on $X$. For any given ordered pair function $f$ on $X$, if there exist elements $x_1 <x_2 <\cdots<x_k$ in $X$ such that $f(x_1 ,x_2 ) \le f(x_2 ,x_3 ) \le \cdots \le f(x_{k-1} ,x_k )$, then $x_1 ,x_2 ,\cdots,x_k$ is called an $f$-ascending sequence of length $k$ in $X$. Similarly, define an $f$-descending sequence of length $l$ in $X$. For integers $k,l \ge 3$, let $h(k,l)$ denote the smallest positive integer such that for any set $X$ of $s$ real numbers and any ordered pair function $f$ on $X$, there either exists an $f$-ascending sequence of length $k$ in $X$ or an $f$-descending sequence of length $l$ in $X$ if $s \ge h(k,l)$.
Prove:
1.For $k,l>3,h(k,l) \le h(k-1,l)+h(k,l-1)-1$;
2.$h(k,l) \le \binom{l-2}{k+l-4} +1$.

Chandler the Octopus along with his friends Maisy the Bear and Jeff the Frog are solving LMT problems. It takes Maisy $3$ minutes to solve a problem, Chandler $4$ minutes to solve a problem and Jeff $5$ minutes to solve a problem. They start at $12:00$ pm, and Chandler has a dentist appointment from $12:10$ pm to $12:30$, after which he comes back and continues solving LMT problems. The time it will take for them to finish solving $50$ LMT problems, in hours, is $m/n$ ,where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m +n$.

A bookshelf contains $n$ volumes, labelled $1$ to $n$, in some order. The librarian wishes to put them in the correct order as follows. The librarian selects a volume that is too far to the right, say the volume with label $k$, takes it out, and inserts it in the $k$-th position. For example, if the bookshelf contains the volumes $1,3,2,4$ in that order, the librarian could take out volume $2$ and place it in the second position. The books will then be in the correct order $1,2,3,4$.
(a) Show that if this process is repeated, then, however the librarian makes the selections, all the volumes will eventually be in the correct order.
(b) What is the largest number of steps that this process can take?

Each of the six boxes $B_1$, $B_2$, $B_3$, $B_4$, $B_5$, $B_6$ initially contains one coin. The following operations are allowed
Type 1) Choose a non-empty box $B_j$, $1\leq j \leq 5$, remove one coin from $B_j$ and add two coins to $B_{j+1}$;
Type 2) Choose a non-empty box $B_k$, $1\leq k \leq 4$, remove one coin from $B_k$ and swap the contents (maybe empty) of the boxes $B_{k+1}$ and $B_{k+2}$.
Determine if there exists a finite sequence of operations of the allowed types, such that the five boxes $B_1$, $B_2$, $B_3$, $B_4$, $B_5$ become empty, while box $B_6$ contains exactly $2010^{2010^{2010}}$ coins.

Tracy has been baking a rectangular cake whose surface is dissected by grid lines in square fields. The number of rows is $ 2^n$ and the number of columns is $ 2^{n \plus{} 1}$ where $ n \geq 1, n \in \mathbb{N}.$ Now she covers the fields with strawberries such that each row has at least $ 2n \plus{} 2$ of them. Show that there four pairwise distinct strawberries $ A,B,C$ and $ D$ which satisfy those three conditions:
(a) Strawberries $ A$ and $ B$ lie in the same row and $ A$ further left than $ B.$ Similarly $ D$ lies in the same row as $ C$ but further left.
(b) Strawberries $ B$ and $ C$ lie in the same column.
(c) Strawberries $ A$ lies further up and further left than $ D.$

On each side of an equilateral triangle of side $n \ge 1$ consider $n - 1$ points that divide the sides into $n$ equal segments. Through these points draw parallel lines to the sides of the triangles, obtaining a net of equilateral triangles of side length $1$. On each of the vertices of the small triangles put a coin head up. A move consists in flipping over three mutually adjacent coins. Find all values of $n$ for which it is possible to turn all coins tail up after a finite number of moves.
