Let $(G, *)$ a group of $n > 1$ elements, and let $g \in G$ be an element distinct from the identity.
Ana and Bob play with the group $G$ on the following way:
Starting with Ana and playing alternately, each player selects an element of $G$ that has not been selected before, until each element of $G$ have been selected or a player have selected the elements $a$ and $a *
g$ for some $a \in G$.
In that case it is said that the player loses and his opponent wins.
$a)$ If $n$ is odd, show that, independent of element $g$, one of the two players has
a winning strategy and determines which player
possesses such a strategy.
$b)$ If $n$ is even, show that there exists an element $g \in G$ for which none of the players
has a winning strategy.
Note: A group $(G, *)$ es a set $G$ together with a binary operation $* : G\times G \to G$ that satisfy the following properties
$(i)$ $*$ is asociative: $\forall a, b, c \in G (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)$;
$(ii)$ there exists an identity element $e \in G$ such that $\forall a \in G, a *e = e * a = a;$
$(iii)$ there exists inverse elements: $\forall a \in G \exists a^{-1} \in G$ such that $a*a^{-1} = a^{-1}
*a = e.$

Mexican Quarantine Mathematical Olympiad, #6
Oriol has a finite collection of cards, each one with a positive integer written on it. We say the collection is $n$-[i]complete[/i] if for any integer $k$ from $1$ to $n$ (inclusive), he can choose some cards such that the sum of the numbers on them is exactly $k$. Suppose that Oriol's collection is $n$-complete, but it stops being $n$-complete if any card is removed from it. What is the maximum possible sum of the numbers on all the cards?

Prove that for any natural number $ m $ there exists a natural number $ n $ such that any $ n $ distinct points on the plane can be partitioned into $ m $ non-empty sets whose [i]convex hulls[/i] have a common point.
The [i] convex hull [/i] of a finite set $ X $ of points on the plane is the set of points lying inside or on the boundary of at least one convex polygon with vertices in $ X $, including degenerate ones, that is, the segment and the point are considered convex polygons. No three vertices of a convex polygon are collinear. The polygon contains its border.

Two counterfeit coins of equal weight are mixed with 8 identical genuine coins. The weight of each of the counterfeit coins is different from the weight of each of the genuine coins. A pair of coins is selected at random without replacement from the 10 coins. A second pair is selected at random without replacement from the remaining 8 coins. The combined weight of the first pair is equal to the combined weight of the second pair. What is the probability that all 4 selected coins are genuine?

Let $S$ be the set of all subsets of $\left\{2,3,\ldots,2016\right\}$ with size $1007$, and for a nonempty set $T$ of numbers, let $f(T)$ be the product of the elements in $T$. Determine the remainder when \[ \sum_{T\in S}\left(f(T)-f(T)^{-1}\right)^2\] is divided by $2017$. Note: For $b$ relatively prime to $2017$, we say that $b^{-1}$ is the unique positive integer less than $2017$ for which $2017$ divides $bb^{-1} -1$.
