A natural number $n$ is given and written in a row of $n$ numbers, each of which is equal to $0$ or $1$. Then $n - 1$ numbers are written below in a row - one number under each pair of adjacent numbers of the first row. At the same time, $0$ is written under a pair of identical numbers. and under a pair of different ones $1$. Then, under the second row, the third of $n- 2$ numbers is similarly written, etc., until we get a triangular table with $n$ rows. For a given $n$, find the largest possible number of units in such a table.

Flavian and Pavel play a game. Starting with Flavian, they take turns eliminating exactly one edge from a complete graph with $2024$ vertices. The first player to make a move that leaves no cycles loses. Determine who has a winning strategy. [i]Proposed by Pavel Ciurea[/i]

Hamza and Majid play a game on a horizontal $3 \times 2015$ white board. They alternate turns, with Hamza going first. A legal move for Hamza consists of painting three unit squares forming a horizontal $1 \times 3$ rectangle. A legal move for Majid consists of painting three unit squares forming a vertical $3\times 1$ rectangle. No one of the two players is allowed to repaint already painted squares. The last player to make a legal move wins. Which of the two players, Hamza or Majid, can guarantee a win no matter what strategy his opponent chooses and what is his strategy to guarantee a win?

Given three letters $X, Y, Z$, we can construct letter sequences arbitrarily, such as $XZ, ZZYXYY, XXYZX$, etc. For any given sequence, we can perform following operations: $T_1$: If the right-most letter is $Y$, then we can add $YZ$ after it, for example, $T_1(XYZXXY) = (XYZXXYYZ).$ $T_2$: If The sequence contains $YYY$, we can replace them by $Z$, for example, $T_2(XXYYZYYYX) = (XXYYZZX).$ $T_3$: We can replace $Xp$ ($p$ is any sub-sequence) by $XpX$, for example, $T_3(XXYZ) = (XXYZX).$ $T_4$: In a sequence containing one or more $Z$, we can replace the first $Z$ by $XY$, for example, $T_4(XXYYZZX) = (XXYYXYZX).$ $T_5$: We can replace any of $XX, YY, ZZ$ by $X$, for example, $T_5(ZZYXYY) = (XYXX)$ or $(XYXYY)$ or $(ZZYXX).$ Using above operations, can we get $XYZZ$ from $XYZ \ ?$
