A board $1$x$k$ is called [i]guayaco[/i] if: -Each unit square is painted with exactly one of $k$ available colors. -If $gcd(i,k)>1$, the $i$th unit square is painted with the same color as $(i-1)$th unit square. -If $gcd(i, k)=1$, the $i$th unit square is painted with the same color as $(k-i)$th unit square. Sebastian chooses a positive integer $a$ and calculates the number of boards $1$x$a$ that are guayacos. After that, David chooses a positive integer $b$ and calculates the number of boards $1$x$b$ that are guayacos. David wins if the number of boards $1$x$a$ that are guayacos is the same as the number of boards $1$x$b$ that are guayacos, otherwise, Sebastian wins. Find all the pairs $(a,b) $ such that, with those numbers, David wins.

2020 Argentina National Olympiad Level 2, 4

Juli has a deck of $54$ cards and proposes the following game to Bruno. Juli places the cards in a row, some face-up and others face-down. Bruno can repeatedly perform the following move: select a card and flip it along with its two neighbors (turning face-up cards face-down, and vice versa for face-down cards). Bruno wins if, through this process, he manages to turn all the cards face up. Otherwise, Juli wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and explain it. [b]Note:[/b] When Bruno selects the first or the last card in the row, he flips only two cards. In all other cases, he flips three cards.

How many of the rearrangements of the digits $123456$ have the property that for each digit, no more than two digits smaller than that digit appear to the right of that digit? For example, the rearrangement $315426$ has this property because digits $1$ and $2$ are the only digits smaller than $3$ which follow $3,$ digits $2$ and $4$ are the only digits smaller than $5$ which follow $5,$ and digit $2$ is the only digit smaller than $4$ which follows $4.$
