Two math students play a game with $k$ sticks. Alternating turns, each one chooses a number from the set $\{1,3,4\}$ and removes exactly that number of sticks from the pile (so if the pile only has $2$ sticks remaining the next player must take $1$). The winner is the player who takes the last stick. For $1\leq k\leq100$, determine the number of cases in which the first player can guarantee that he will win.

A bipartite graph on the sets $\{ x_1,\ldots, x_n \}$ and $\{ y_1,\ldots, y_n\}$ of vertices (that is the edges are of the form $x_iy_j$) is called tame if it has no $x_iy_jx_ky_l$ path ($i,j,k,l\in\{ 1,\ldots, n\}$) where $j<l$ and $i+j>k+l$. Calculate the infimum of those real numbers $\alpha$ for which there exists a constant $c=c(\alpha)>0$ such that for all tame graphs $e\le cn^{\alpha}$, where $e$ is the number of edges and $n$ is half of the number of vertices.

A pack of $2003$ circus flees are deployed by their circus trainer, named Gogu, on a sufficiently large table, in such a way that they are not all lying on the same line. He now wants to get his Ph.D. in fleas training, so Gogu has thought the fleas the following trick: we chooses two fleas and tells one of them to jump over the other one, such that any flea jumps as far as twice the initial distance between him and the flea over which he is jumping. The Ph.D. circus committee has but only one task to Gogu: he has to make the his flees gather around on the table such that every flea represents a vertex of a convex polygon. Can Gogu get his Ph.D., no matter of how the fleas were deployed?

A game starts with four heaps of beans, containing 3, 4, 5 and 6 beans. The two players move alternately. A move consists of taking [list] (a) $\text{either}$ one bean from a heap, provided at least two beans are left behind in that heap, (b) $\text{or}$ a complete heap of two or three beans.[/list] The player who takes the last heap wins. To win the game, do you want to move first or second? Give a winning strategy.
