A set of $n$ people participate in an online video basketball tournament. Each person may be a member of any number of $5$-player teams, but no two teams may have exactly the same $5$ members. The site statistics show a curious fact: The average, over all subsets of size $9$ of the set of $n$ participants, of the number of complete teams whose members are among those $9$ people is equal to the reciprocal of the average, over all subsets of size $8$ of the set of $n$ participants, of the number of complete teams whose members are among those $8$ people. How many values $n$, $9\leq n\leq 2017$, can be the number of participants? $\textbf{(A) } 477 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 482 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 487 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 557 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 562$

Let there be $2004$ be bicolor tiles, white on one side and black on the other, placed in a circle. A move consists of choosing a black piece and turning over three pieces: the chosen one, the one on its left and the one on its right. If at the beginning there is only one black piece, will it be possible, repeating the movement described, to make all the pieces have the white face up?

Alex and Jack have $1000$ sheets each. Each of them writes the numbers $1,\ldots,2000$ on his sheets in an arbitrary order, with one number on each side of a sheet. The sheets are to be placed on the floor so that one side of each sheet is visible. Prove that they can do so in such a way that each of the numbers from $1$ to $2000$ is visible.

Justify your answer! b) Is it possible that for every positive integer $n \ge 2$ , we are able to dissect $\bigtriangleup ABC$ in $2n$ pieces, from which we can make two triangles similar to $\bigtriangleup ABC$ (each piece can be used only once)?

You are traveling in a foreign country whose currency consists of five different-looking kinds of coins. You have several of each coin in your pocket. You remember that the coins are worth $1, 2, 5, 10$, and $20$ florins, but you have no idea which coin is which and you don’t speak the local language. You find a vending machine where a single candy can be bought for $1$ florin: you insert any kind of coin, and receive $1$ candy plus any change owed. You can only buy one candy at a time, but you can buy as many as you want, one after the other. What is the least number of candies that you must buy to ensure that you can determine the values of all the coins? Prove that your answer is correct.
