2018 Iran MO (1st Round), 8

The license plate of each automobile in Iran consists of a two-digit and a three-digit number as well as a letter of the Persian alphabet. The digit $0$ is not used in the two numbers. To each license plate, we assign the product of the two numbers on it. For example, if the two numbers are $12$ and $365$ on a license plate, the assigned number would be $12 \times 365 = 4380$. What is the average of all the assigned numbers to all possible license plates?

You are given a rectangular playing field of size $13 \times 2$ and any number of dominoes of sizes $2\times 1$ and $3\times 1$. The playing field should be seamless with such dominoes and without overlapping, with no domino protruding beyond the playing field may. Furthermore, all dominoes must be aligned in the same way, i. e. their long sides must be parallel to each other. How many such coverings are possible? (Walther Janous)

A large equilateral triangle is constructed by using toothpicks to create rows of small equilateral triangles. For example, in the figure we have $ 3$ rows of small congruent equilateral triangles, with $ 5$ small triangles in the base row. How many toothpicks would be needed to construct a large equilateral triangle if the base row of the triangle consists of $ 2003$ small equilateral triangles?

Anumber of schools took part in a tennis tournament. No two players from the same school played against each other. Every two players from different schools played exactly one match against each other. A match between two boys or between two girls was called a [i]single[/i] and that between a boy and a girl was called a [i]mixed single[/i]. The total number of boys differed from the total number of girls by at most 1. The total number of singles differed from the total number of mixed singles by at most 1. At most how many schools were represented by an odd number of players?

Consider the sequence of integers $ \left( a_n\right)_{n\ge 0} $ defined as $$ a_n=\left\{\begin{matrix}n^6-2017, & 7|n\\ \frac{1}{7}\left( n^6-2017\right) , & 7\not | n\end{matrix}\right. . $$ Determine the largest length a string of consecutive terms from this sequence sharing a common divisor greater than $ 1 $ may have.

2016 Taiwan TST Round 2, 5

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Two players $A$ and $B$ play a game in which they take turns choosing positive integers $k \le n$. The rules of the game are: (i) A player cannot choose a number that has been chosen by either player on any previous turn. (ii) A player cannot choose a number consecutive to any of those the player has already chosen on any previous turn. (iii) The game is a draw if all numbers have been chosen; otherwise the player who cannot choose a number anymore loses the game. The player $A$ takes the first turn. Determine the outcome of the game, assuming that both players use optimal strategies. [i]Proposed by Finland[/i]

We are given a chessboard with 100 rows and 100 columns. Two squares of the board are said to be adjacent if they have a common side. Initially all squares are white. a) Is it possible to colour an odd number of squares in such a way that each coloured square has an odd number of adjacent coloured squares? b) Is it possible to colour some squares in such a way that an odd number of them have exactly $4$ adjacent coloured squares and all the remaining coloured squares have exactly $2$ adjacent coloured squares? c) Is it possible to colour some squares in such a way that an odd number of them have exactly $2$ adjacent coloured squares and all the remaining coloured squares have exactly $4$ adjacent coloured squares?

Sherry and Val are playing a game. Sherry has a deck containing $2011$ red cards and $2012$ black cards, shuffled randomly. Sherry flips these cards over one at a time, and before she flips each card over, Val guesses whether it is red or black. If Val guesses correctly, she wins $1$ dollar; otherwise, she loses $1$ dollar. In addition, Val must guess red exactly $2011$ times. If Val plays optimally, what is her expected profit from this game?

Unconventional dice are to be designed such that the six faces are marked with numbers from $1$ to $6$ with $1$ and $2$ appearing on opposite faces. Further, each face is colored either red or yellow with opposite faces always of the same color. Two dice are considered to have the same design if one of them can be rotated to obtain a dice that has the same numbers and colors on the corresponding faces as the other one. Find the number of distinct dice that can be designed.

In a table with $n$ rows and $2n$ columns where $n$ is a fixed positive integer, we write either zero or one into each cell so that each row has $n$ zeros and $n$ ones. For $1 \le k \le n$ and $1 \le i \le n$, we define $a_{k,i}$ so that the $i^{\text{th}}$ zero in the $k^{\text{th}}$ row is the $a_{k,i}^{\text{th}}$ column. Let $\mathcal F$ be the set of such tables with $a_{1,i} \ge a_{2,i} \ge \dots \ge a_{n,i}$ for every $i$ with $1 \le i \le n$. We associate another $n \times 2n$ table $f(C)$ from $C \in \mathcal F$ as follows: for the $k^{\text{th}}$ row of $f(C)$, we write $n$ ones in the columns $a_{n,k}-k+1, a_{n-1,k}-k+2, \dots, a_{1,k}-k+n$ (and we write zeros in the other cells in the row). (a) Show that $f(C) \in \mathcal F$. (b) Show that $f(f(f(f(f(f(C)))))) = C$ for any $C \in \mathcal F$.
