Two players, Aurelio and Bernardo, play the following game. Aurelio begins by writing the number $1$. Next it is Bernardo's turn, who writes number $2$. From then on, each player chooses whether to add $1$ to the number just written by the previous player, or whether multiply that number by $2$. Then write the result and it's the other player's turn. The first player to write a number greater than $ 2007$ loses the game. Determine if one of the players can ensure victory no matter what the other does.

You want to sort the numbers 5 4 3 2 1 using block moves. In other words, you can take any set of numbers that appear consecutively and put them back in at any spot as a block. For example, [i]6 5 3[/i] 4 2 1 -> 4 2 [i]6 5 3[/i] 1 is a valid block move for 6 numbers. What is the minimum number of block moves necessary to get 1 2 3 4 5?

2021 Nigerian Senior MO Round 2, 2

$N$ boxes are arranged in a circle and are numbered $1,2,3,.....N$ In a clockwise direction. A ball is assigned a number from${1,2,3,....N}$ and is placed in one of the boxes.A round consist of the following; if the current number on the ball is $n$, the ball is moved $n$ boxes in the clockwise direction and the number on the ball is changed to $n+1$ if $n<N$ and to $1$ if $n=N$. Is it possible to choose $N$, the initial number on the ball, and the first position of the ball in such a way that the ball gets back to the same box with the same number on it for the first time after exactly $2020$ rounds

Let \( H \) be the orthocenter of an acute triangle \( ABC \), and let \( AT \) be the diameter of the circumcircle of this triangle. Points \( X \) and \( Y \) are chosen on sides \( AC \) and \( AB \), respectively, such that \( TX = TY \) and \( \angle XTY + \angle XAY = 90^\circ \). Prove that \( \angle XHY = 90^\circ \).

1989 IMO Shortlist, 19

A natural number is written in each square of an $ m \times n$ chess board. The allowed move is to add an integer $ k$ to each of two adjacent numbers in such a way that non-negative numbers are obtained. (Two squares are adjacent if they have a common side.) Find a necessary and sufficient condition for it to be possible for all the numbers to be zero after finitely many operations.

Consider the L-shaped region formed by three unit squares joined at their sides, as shown below. Two points $A$ and $B$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from inside this region. The probability that the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ also lies inside this L-shaped region can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

2016 Iran Team Selection Test, 3

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]
