[b]a.)[/b] Find all such decompositions for $N=500.$
[b]b.)[/b] How many such decompositions does the number $N=2^{\alpha }3^{\beta }5^{\gamma }$ (where $\alpha ,$ $\beta $ and $\gamma $ are natural numbers) have? Which of these decompositions contain natural summands only?
[b]c.)[/b] Determine the number of such decompositions (= decompositions in a sum of consecutive integers; these integers are not necessarily natural) for an arbitrary natural $N.$

2001 Tournament Of Towns, 4
Two persons play a game on a board divided into $3\times 100$ squares. They move in turn: the first places tiles of size $1\times2$ lengthwise (along the long axis of the board), the second, in the perpendicular direction. The loser is the one who cannot make a move. Which of the players can always win (no matter how his opponent plays), and what is the winning strategy?

Given triangle $ABC$ the point $J$ is the centre of the excircle opposite the vertex $A.$ This excircle is tangent to the side $BC$ at $M$, and to the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $K$ and $L$, respectively. The lines $LM$ and $BJ$ meet at $F$, and the lines $KM$ and $CJ$ meet at $G.$ Let $S$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AF$ and $BC$, and let $T$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AG$ and $BC.$ Prove that $M$ is the midpoint of $ST.$

A line $\ell$ intersects the lines $AI$, $BI$, and $CI$ at points $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively, distinct from the points $A$, $B$, $C$, and $I$. The perpendicular bisectors $x$, $y$, and $z$ of the segments $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$, respectively determine a triangle $\Theta$.

Consider a quadratic polynomial $ax^2+bx+c$ with real coefficients satisfying $a\ge 2$, $b\ge 2$, $c\ge 2$. Adam and Boris play the following game. They alternately take turns with Adam first. On Adam’s turn, he can choose one of the polynomial’s coefficients and replace it with the sum of the other two coefficients. On Boris’s turn, he can choose one of the polynomial’s coefficients and replace it with the product of the other two coefficients. The winner is the player who first produces a polynomial with two distinct real roots. Depending on the values of $a$, $b$ and $c$, determine who has a winning strategy.
