2021 Brazil National Olympiad, 1

In a school there are $2021$ doors with the numbers $1,2,\dots,2021$. In a day $2021$ students play the following game: Initially all the doors are closed, and each student receive a card to define the order, there are exactly $2021$ cards. The numbers in the cards are $1,2,\dots,2020,2021$. The order will be student $1$ first, student $2$ will be the second, and going on. The student $k$ will change the state of the doors $k,2k,4k,8k,\dots,2^pk$ with $2^pk\leq 2021\leq 2^{p+1}k$. Change the state is [b]if the door was close, it will be open and vice versa.[/b] a) After the round of the student $16$, determine the configuration of the doors $1,2,\dots,16$ b) After the round of the student $2021$, determine how many doors are closed.

We say "$s$ grows to $r$" if there exists some integer $n>0$ such that $s^n = r.$ Call a real number $r$ "sparcs" if there are only finitely many real numbers $s$ that grow to $r.$ Find all real numbers that are sparse.

A rectangle inscribed in a triangle has its base coinciding with the base $b$ of the triangle. If the altitude of the triangle is $h$, and the altitude $x$ of the rectangle is half the base of the rectangle, then: $\textbf{(A)}\ x=\dfrac{1}{2}h \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ x=\dfrac{bh}{b+h} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ x=\dfrac{bh}{2h+b} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ x=\sqrt{\dfrac{hb}{2}} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ x=\dfrac{1}{2}b$

Right triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $A.$ Points $D$ and $E$ respectively lie on $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$ so that $\angle BDA \cong \angle CDE.$ If the lengths $DE,$ $DA,$ $DC,$ and $DB,$ in this order, form an arithmetic sequence of distinct positive integers, then the set of all possible areas of $\triangle ABC$ is a subset of the positive integers. Compute the smallest element in this set that is greater than $1000.$

Let $\varepsilon$ denote the empty string. Given a pair of strings $(A,B)\in\{0,1,2\}^*\times\{0,1\}^*$, we are allowed the following operations: \[\begin{cases} (A,1)\to(A0,\varepsilon)\\ (A,10)\to(A00,\varepsilon)\\ (A,0B)\to(A0,B)\\ (A,11B)\to(A01,B)\\ (A,100B)\to(A0012,1B)\\ (A,101B)\to(A00122,10B) \end{cases}\] We perform these operations on $(A,B)$ until we can no longer perform any of them. We then iteratively delete any instance of $20$ in $A$ and replace any instance of $21$ with $1$ until there are no such substrings remaining. Among all binary strings $X$ of size $9$, how many different possible outcomes are there for this process performed on $(\varepsilon,X)$?
