Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be such that the coefficient of the $x^ay^bz^c$ term in the expansion of $(x+2y+3z)^{100}$ is maximal (no other term has a strictly larger coefficient). Find the sum of all possible values of $1,000,000a+1,000b+c$.

Consider the $2\times3$ rectangle below. We fill in the small squares with the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6$ (one per square). Define a [i]tasty[/i] filling to be one such that each row is [b]not[/b] in numerical order from left to right and each column is [b]not[/b] in numerical order from top to bottom. If the probability that a randomly selected filling is tasty is $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, what is $m+n$? \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & & \\ \hline & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} [i]2016 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning #4.2[/i]

2022 Rioplatense Mathematical Olympiad, 3

On the table there are several cards. Each card has an integer number written on it. Beto performs the following operation several times: he chooses two cards from the table, calculates the difference between the numbers written on them, writes the result on his notebook and removes those two cards from the table. He can perform this operation as many times as he wants, as long as there are at least two cards on the table. After this, Beto multiplies all the numbers that he wrote on his notebook. Beto's goal is that the result of this multiplication is a multiple of $7^{100}$. a) Prove that if there are $207$ cards initially on the table then Beto can always achieve his goal, no matter what the numbers on the cards are. b) If there are $128$ cards initially on the table, is it true that Beto can always achieve his goal?

1981 All Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, 307

The rectangular table has four rows. The first one contains arbitrary natural numbers (some of them may be equal). The consecutive lines are filled according to the rule: we look through the previous row from left to the certain number $n$ and write the number $k$ if $n$ was met $k$ times. Prove that the second row coincides with the fourth one.

A deck of $52$ cards is stacked in a pile facing down. Tom takes the small pile consisting of the seven cards on the top of the deck, turns it around, and places it at the bottom of the deck. All cards are again in one pile, but not all of them face down, since the seven cards at the bottom now face up. Tom repeats this move until all cards face down again. In total, how many moves did Tom make?

2001 Grosman Memorial Mathematical Olympiad, 3

We are given $2001$ lines in the plane, no two of which are parallel and no three of which are concurrent. These lines partition the plane into regions (not necessarily finite) bounded by segments of these lines. These segments are called [i]sides[/i], and the collection of the regions is called a [i]map[/i]. Intersection points of the lines are called [i]vertices[/i]. Two regions are [i]neighbors [/i]if they share a side, and two vertices are neighbors if they lie on the same side. A [i]legal coloring[/i] of the regions (resp. vertices) is a coloring in which each region (resp. vertex) receives one color, such that any two neighboring regions (vertices) have different colors. (a) What is the minimum number of colors required for a legal coloring of the regions? (b) What is the minimum number of colors required for a legal coloring of the vertices?

In a circumference of a circle, $ 10000$ points are marked, and they are numbered from $ 1$ to $ 10000$ in a clockwise manner. $ 5000$ segments are drawn in such a way so that the following conditions are met: 1. Each segment joins two marked points. 2. Each marked point belongs to one and only one segment. 3. Each segment intersects exactly one of the remaining segments. 4. A number is assigned to each segment that is the product of the number assigned to each end point of the segment. Let $ S$ be the sum of the products assigned to all the segments. Show that $ S$ is a multiple of $ 4$.
