Points $A$, $B$, and $C$ lie in that order along a straight path where the distance from $A$ to $C$ is $1800$ meters. Ina runs twice as fast as Eve, and Paul runs twice as fast as Ina. The three runners start running at the same time with Ina starting at $A$ and running toward $C$, Paul starting at $B$ and running toward $C$, and Eve starting at $C$ and running toward $A$. When Paul meets Eve, he turns around and runs toward $A$. Paul and Ina both arrive at $B$ at the same time. Find the number of meters from $A$ to $B$.

At the top of a piece of paper is written a list of distinctive natural numbers. To continue the list you must choose 2 numbers from the existent ones and write in the list the least common multiple of them, on the condition that it isn’t written yet. We can say that the list is closed if there are no other solutions left (for example, the list 2, 3, 4, 6 closes right after we add 12). Which is the maximum numbers which can be written on a list that had closed, if the list had at the beginning 10 numbers?

Consider a board consisting of $n\times n$ unit squares where $n \ge 2$. Two cells are called neighbors if they share a horizontal or vertical border. In the beginning, all cells together contain $k$ tokens. Each cell may contain one or several tokens or none. In each turn, choose one of the cells that contains at least one token for each of its neighbors and move one of those to each of its neighbors. The game ends if no such cell exists.
(a) Find the minimal $k$ such that the game does not end for any starting configuration and choice of cells during the game.
(b) Find the maximal $k$ such that the game ends for any starting configuration and choice of cells during the game.

For every integer $n$ not equal to $1$ or $-1$, define $S(n)$ as the smallest integer greater than $1$ that divides $n$. In particular, $S(0)=2$. We also define $S(1) = S(-1) = 1$.
Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with integer coefficients such that $S(f(n)) \leq S(n)$ for every positive integer $n$. Prove that $f(0)=0$.
[b]Note:[/b] A non-constant polynomial with integer coefficients is a function of the form $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + \ldots + a_k x^k$, where $k$ is a positive integer and $a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_k$ are integers such that $a_k \neq 0$.

For an ordinary directed graph, show that there is a subset A of vertices such that:
$1.$ There are no edges between the vertices of A.
$2.$ For any vertex $v$, there is either a direct way from $v$ to a vertex in A, or a way passing through only one vertex and ending in A (like $v$ ->$v'$-> $a$, where $a$ is a vertex in A)

A cube with size $10\times 10\times 10$ consists of $1000$ unit cubes, all colored white. $A$ and $B$ play a game on this cube. $A$ chooses some pillars with size $1\times 10\times 10$ such that no two pillars share a vertex or side, and turns all chosen unit cubes to black. $B$ is allowed to choose some unit cubes and ask $A$ their colors. How many unit cubes, at least, that $B$ need to choose so that for any answer from $A$, $B$ can always determine the black unit cubes?
