2016 Macedonia National Olympiad, Problem 2

A magic square is a square with side 3 consisting of 9 unit squares, such that the numbers written in the unit squares (one number in each square) satisfy the following property: the sum of the numbers in each row is equal to the sum of the numbers in each column and is equal to the sum of all the numbers written in any of the two diagonals. A rectangle with sides $m\ge3$ and $n\ge3$ consists of $mn$ unit squares. If in each of those unit squares exactly one number is written, such that any square with side $3$ is a magic square, then find the number of most different numbers that can be written in that rectangle.

Given a natural number $k>1$. Find the smallest number $\alpha$ satisfying the following condition. Suppose that the table $(2k + 1) \times (2k + 1)$ is filled with real numbers not exceeding $1$ in absolute value, and the sums of the numbers in all lines are equal to zero. Then you can rearrange the numbers so that each number remains in its row and all the sums over the columns will be at most $\alpha$.

Oliver is at a carnival. He is offered to play a game where he rolls a fair dice and receives $\$1$ if his roll is a $1$ or $2$, receives $\$2$ if his roll is a $3$ or $4$, and receives $\$3$ if his roll is a $5$ or $6$. Oliver plays the game repeatedly until he has received a total of at least $\$2$. What is the probability that he ends with $\$3$?

Two toads named Gamakichi and Gamatatsu are sitting at the points $(0,0)$ and $(2,0)$ respectively. Their goal is to reach $(5,5)$ and $(7,5)$ respectively by making one unit jumps in positive $x$ or $y$ direction at a time. How many ways can they do this while ensuring that there is no point on the plane where both Gamakichi And Gamatatsu land on?

We are given 5040 balls in k different colors, where the number of balls of each color is the same. The balls are put into 2520 bags so that each bag contains two balls of different colors. Find the smallest k such that, however the balls are distributed into the bags, we can arrange the bags around a circle so that no two balls of the same color are in two neighboring bags.

One of the boxes that Joshua and Wendy unpack has Joshua's collection of board games. Michael, Wendy, Alexis, and Joshua decide to play one of them, a game called $\textit{Risk}$ that involves rolling ordinary six-sided dice to determine the outcomes of strategic battles. Wendy has never played before, so early on Michael explains a bit of strategy. "You have the first move and you occupy three of the four territories in the Australian continent. You'll want to attack Joshua in Indonesia so that you can claim the Australian continent which will give you bonus armies on your next turn." "Don't tell her $\textit{that!}$" complains Joshua. Wendy and Joshua begin rolling dice to determine the outcome of their struggle over Indonesia. Joshua rolls extremely well, overcoming longshot odds to hold off Wendy's attack. Finally, Wendy is left with one chance. Wendy and Joshua each roll just one six-sided die. Wendy wins if her roll is $\textit{higher}$ than Joshua's roll. Let $a$ and $b$ be relatively prime positive integers so that $a/b$ is the probability that Wendy rolls higher, giving her control over the continent of Australia. Find the value of $a+b$.
