What is the smallest integer $n$, greater than one, for which the root-mean-square of the first $n$ positive integers is an integer?
$\mathbf{Note.}$ The root-mean-square of $n$ numbers $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n$ is defined to be
\[\left[\frac{a_1^2 + a_2^2 + \cdots + a_n^2}n\right]^{1/2}\]

A game is played on a $23\times 23$ board. The first player controls two white chips which start in the bottom left and top right corners. The second player controls two black ones which start in bottom right and top left corners. The players move alternately. In each move, a player moves one of the chips under control to a square which shares a side with the square the chip is currently in. The first player wins if he can bring the white chips to squares which share a side with each other. Can the second player prevent the first player from winning?

Let $A = (0,0)$, $B=(-1,-1)$, $C=(x,y)$, and $D=(x+1,y)$, where $x > y$ are positive integers. Suppose points $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ lie on a circle with radius $r$. Denote by $r_1$ and $r_2$ the smallest and second smallest possible values of $r$. Compute $r_1^2 + r_2^2$.

The circle $k_a$ touches the extensions of sides $AB$ and $BC$, as well as the circumscribed circle of the triangle $ABC$ (from the outside). We denote the intersection of $k_a$ with the circumscribed circle of the triangle $ABC$ by $A'$. Analogously, we define points $B'$ and $C'$. Prove that the lines $AA',BB'$ and $CC'$ intersect in one point.

Points $X$ and $Y$ on the unit circle centered at $O = (0,0)$ are at $(-1,0)$ and $(0,-1)$ respectively. Points $P$ and $Q$ are on the unit circle such that $\angle P XO = \angle QY O = 30^o$. Let $Z$ be the intersection of line $X P$ and line $Y Q$. The area bounded by segment $Z P$, segment $ZQ$, and arc $PQ$ can be expressed as $a\pi -b$ where $a$ and $b$ are rational numbers. Find $\frac{1}{ab}$ .

Let $a,b,c,d$ be non-zero integers, such that the only quadruple of integers $(x, y, z, t)$ satisfying the equation
\[ax^2+by^2+cz^2+dt^2=0\]
is $x=y=z=t=0$. Does it follow that the numbers $a,b,c,d$ have the same sign?

$21$ bandits live in the city of Warmridge, each of them having some enemies among the others. Initially each bandit has $240$ bullets, and duels with all of his enemies. Every bandit distributes his bullets evenly between his enemies, this means that he takes the same number of bullets to each of his duels, and uses each of his bullets in only one duel. In case the number of his bullets is not divisible by the number of his enemies, he takes as many bullets to each duel as possible, but takes the same number of bullets to every duel, so it is possible that in the end the bandit will have some remaining bullets.
Shooting is banned in the city, therefore a duel consists only of comparing the number of bullets in the guns of the opponents, and the winner is whoever has more bullets. After the duel the sheriff takes the bullets of the winner and as an act of protest the loser shoots all of his bullets into the air. What is the largest possible number of bullets the sheriff can have after all of the duels have ended?
Being someones enemy is mutual. If two opponents have the same number of bullets in their guns during a duel, then the sheriff takes the bullets of the bandit who has the wider hat among them.
Example: If a bandit has $13$ enemies then he takes $18$ bullets with himself to each duel, and they will have $6$ leftover bullets after finishing all their duels.

A set $G$ with elements $u,v,w...$ is a Group if the following conditions are fulfilled:
$(\text{i})$ There is a binary operation $\circ$ defined on $G$ such that $\forall \{u,v\}\in G$ there is a $w\in G$ with $u\circ v = w$.
$(\text{ii})$ This operation is associative; i.e. $(u\circ v)\circ w = u\circ (v\circ w)$ $\forall\{u,v,w\}\in G$.
$(\text{iii})$ $\forall \{u,v\}\in G$, there exists an element $x\in G$ such that $u\circ x = v$, and an element $y\in G$ such that $y\circ u = v$.
Let $K$ be a set of all real numbers greater than $1$. On $K$ is defined an operation by $ a\circ b = ab-\sqrt{(a^2-1)(b^2-1)}$. Prove that $K$ is a Group.
