In the future, each country in the world produces its Olympic athletes via cloning and strict training
programs. Therefore, in the finals of the 200 m free, there are two indistinguishable athletes from each
of the four countries. How many ways are there to arrange them into eight lanes?

In $\triangle ABC$, we have three edges with lengths $BC=a, \, CA=b \, AB=c$, and $c<b<a<2c$. $P$ and $Q$ are two points of the edges of $\triangle ABC$, and the straight line $PQ$ divides $\triangle ABC$ into two parts with the same area. Find the minimum value of the length of the line segment $PQ$.

Alice and Bob play a game with a string of $2015$ pearls.
In each move, one player cuts the string between two pearls and the other player chooses one of the resulting parts of the string while the other part is discarded.
In the first move, Alice cuts the string, thereafter, the players take turns.
A player loses if he or she obtains a string with a single pearl such that no more cut is possible.
Who of the two players does have a winning strategy?

Let $n \geq 4$ be an integer. Consider a regular $2n-$gon for which to every vertex, an integer is assigned, which we call the value of said vertex. If four distinct vertices of this $2n-$gon form a rectangle, we say that the sum of the values of these vertices is a rectangular sum.
Determine for which (not necessarily positive) integers $m$ the integers $m + 1, m + 2, . . . , m + 2n$ can be assigned to the vertices (in some order) in such a way that every rectangular sum is a prime number. (Prime numbers are positive by definition.)

On a large piece of paper, Dana creates a “rectangular spiral”
by drawing line segments of lengths, in cm, of
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, ... as shown. Dana’s pen runs out of ink
after the total of all the lengths he has drawn is 3000 cm.
What is the length of the longest line segment that Dana
draws?
