In a board, the positive integer $N$ is written. In each round, Olive can realize any one of the following operations: I - Switch the current number by a positive multiple of the current number. II - Switch the current number by a number with the same digits of the current number, but the digits are written in another order(leading zeros are allowed). For instance, if the current number is $2022$, Olive can write any of the following numbers $222,2202,2220$. Determine all the positive integers $N$, such that, Olive can write the number $1$ after a finite quantity of rounds.

Nair and Yuli play the following game: $1.$ There is a coin to be moved along a horizontal array with $203$ cells. $2.$ At the beginning, the coin is at the first cell, counting from left to right. $3.$ Nair plays first. $4.$ Each of the players, in their turns, can move the coin $1$, $2$, or $3$ cells to the right. $5.$ The winner is the one who reaches the last cell first. What strategy does Nair need to use in order to always win the game?

A particle is in the origin of the Cartesian plane. In each step the particle can go $1$ unit in any of the directions, left, right, up or down. Find the number of ways to go from $(0, 0)$ to $(0, 2)$ in $6$ steps. (Note: Two paths where identical set of points is traversed are considered different if the order of traversal of each point is different in both paths.)

Anett is drawing $X$-es on a $5 \times 5$ grid. For each newly drawn $X$ she gets points in the following way: She checks how many $X$-es there are in the same row (including the new one) that can be reached from the newly drawn $X$ with horizontal steps, moving only on fields that were previously marked with $X$-es. For the vertical $X$-es, she gets points the same way. a) What is the maximum number of points that she can get with drawing $25$ $X$-es? b) What is the minimum number of points that she can get with drawing $25$ $X$-es? For example, if Anett put the $X$ on the field that is marked with the circle, she would get $3$ points for the horizontal fields and $1$ point for the vertical ones. Thus, she would get $4$ points in total. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/5/c/662c2e4c3dea8d78e2f6397489b277daee0ad0.png[/img]
