Five teams participated in the commercial football tournament. Each had to play exactly one match with each other. Due to financial difficulties, the organizers canceled some games. In the end It turned out that all teams scored a different number of points and not a single team in the points column had a zero. What is the smallest number of games could be played in a tournament if three points were awarded for a win, for a draw - one, for a defeat - zero?

Ana and Banana are playing a game. First Ana picks a word, which is defined to be a nonempty sequence of capital English letters. (The word does not need to be a valid English word.) Then Banana picks a nonnegative integer $k$ and challenges Ana to supply a word with exactly $k$ subsequences which are equal to Ana's word. Ana wins if she is able to supply such a word, otherwise she loses. For example, if Ana picks the word "TST", and Banana chooses $k=4$, then Ana can supply the word "TSTST" which has 4 subsequences which are equal to Ana's word. Which words can Ana pick so that she wins no matter what value of $k$ Banana chooses? (The subsequences of a string of length $n$ are the $2^n$ strings which are formed by deleting some of its characters, possibly all or none, while preserving the order of the remaining characters.)

Let $p$ be a prime number and $k$ be a positive integer. Let \[t=\sum_{i=0}^\infty\bigg\lfloor\frac{k}{p^i}\bigg\rfloor.\]a) Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $k$ with integer coefficients such that its leading coefficient is $1$ and its constant is divisible by $p.$ prove that there exists $n\in\mathbb{N}$ for which $p\mid f(n),$ but $p^{t+1}\nmid f(n).$ b) Prove that the statement above is sharp, i.e. there exists a polynomial $g(x)$ of degree $k,$ integer coefficients, leading coefficient $1$ and constant divisible by $p$ such that if $p\mid g(n)$ is true for a certain $n\in\mathbb{N},$ then $p^t\mid g(n)$ also holds.

Let $r$ and $b$ be positive integers. The game of [i]Monis[/i], a variant of Tetris, consists of a single column of red and blue blocks. If two blocks of the same color ever touch each other, they both vanish immediately. A red block falls onto the top of the column exactly once every $r$ years, while a blue block falls exactly once every $b$ years. (a) Suppose that $r$ and $b$ are odd, and moreover the cycles are offset in such a way that no two blocks ever fall at exactly the same time. Consider a period of $rb$ years in which the column is initially empty. Determine, in terms of $r$ and $b$, the number of blocks in the column at the end. (b) Now suppose $r$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $r+b$ is odd. At time $t=0$, the column is initially empty. Suppose a red block falls at times $t = r, 2r, \dots, (b-1)r$ years, while a blue block falls at times $t = b, 2b, \dots, (r-1)b$ years. Prove that at time $t=rb$, the number of blocks in the column is $\left\lvert 1+2(r-1)(b+r)-8S \right\rvert$, where \[ S = \left\lfloor \frac{2r}{r+b} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{4r}{r+b} \right\rfloor + ... + \left\lfloor \frac{(r+b-1)r}{r+b} \right\rfloor . \] [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]
