Homer goes on the $100$-Donut Diet. A $100$-Donut Diet Plan specifies how many of $100$ total donuts Homer will eat each day. The diet requires that the number of donuts he eats does not increase from one day to the next. For example, one $5$-day Donut Diet Plan is $40$, $25$, $25$, $8$, $2$. Are there more $100$-Donut Diet Plans with an odd number of days or plans where Homer eats an odd number of donuts on the first day?

Let $n\geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Paul has a $1\times n^2$ rectangular strip consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where the $i^{\text{th}}$ square is labelled with $i$ for all $1\leqslant i\leqslant n^2$. He wishes to cut the strip into several pieces, where each piece consists of a number of consecutive unit squares, and then [i]translate[/i] (without rotating or flipping) the pieces to obtain an $n\times n$ square satisfying the following property: if the unit square in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row and $j^{\text{th}}$ column is labelled with $a_{ij}$, then $a_{ij}-(i+j-1)$ is divisible by $n$. Determine the smallest number of pieces Paul needs to make in order to accomplish this.

A certain town is represented as an infinite plane, which is divided by straight lines into squares. The lines are streets, while the squares are blocks. Along a certain street there stands a policeman on each $100$th intersection . Somewhere in the town there is a bandit , whose position and speed are unknown, but he can move only along the streets. The aim of the police is to see the bandit . Does there exist an algorithm available to the police to enable them to achieve their aim? (A. Andjans, Riga)

A natural number is a [i]palindrome[/i] when one obtains the same number when writing its digits in reverse order. For example, $481184$, $131$ and $2$ are palindromes. Determine all pairs $(m,n)$ of positive integers such that $\underbrace{111\ldots 1}_{m\ {\rm ones}}\times\underbrace{111\ldots 1}_{n\ {\rm ones}}$ is a palindrome.

Adithya and Bill are playing a game on a connected graph with $n > 2$ vertices, two of which are labeled $A$ and $B$, so that $A$ and $B$ are distinct and non-adjacent and known to both players. Adithya starts on vertex $A$ and Bill starts on $B$. Each turn, both players move simultaneously: Bill moves to an adjacent vertex, while Adithya may either move to an adjacent vertex or stay at his current vertex. Adithya loses if he is on the same vertex as Bill, and wins if he reaches $B$ alone. Adithya cannot see where Bill is, but Bill can see where Adithya is. Given that Adithya has a winning strategy, what is the maximum possible number of edges the graph may have? (Your answer may be in terms of $n$.) [i]Proposed by Steven Liu[/i]

A triangle is composed of circular cells arranged in $5784$ rows: the first row has one cell, the second has two cells, and so on (see the picture). The cells are divided into pairs of adjacent cells (circles touching each other), so that each cell belongs to exactly one pair. A pair of adjacent cells is called [b]diagonal[/b] if the two cells in it [i]aren't[/i] in the same row. What is the minimum possible amount of diagonal pairs in the division? An example division into pairs is depicted in the image.

Blue rolls a fair $n$-sided die that has sides its numbered with the integers from $1$ to $n$, and then he flips a coin. Blue knows that the coin is weighted to land heads either $\dfrac{1}{3}$ or $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of the time. Given that the probability of both rolling a $7$ and flipping heads is $\dfrac{1}{15}$, find $n$. [i]Proposed by Jacob Xu[/i] [hide=Solution][i]Solution[/i]. $\boxed{10}$ The chance of getting any given number is $\dfrac{1}{n}$ , so the probability of getting $7$ and heads is either $\dfrac{1}{n} \cdot \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3n}$ or $\dfrac{1}{n} \cdot \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3n}$. We get that either $n = 5$ or $n = 10$, but since rolling a $7$ is possible, only $n = \boxed{10}$ is a solution.[/hide]
