Let $n>1$ be a positive integer. Claire writes $n$ distinct positive real numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ in a row on a blackboard. In a $\textit{move},$ William can erase a number $x$ and replace it with either $\tfrac{1}{x}$ or $x+1$ at the same location. His goal is to perform a sequence of moves such that after he is done, the number are strictly increasing from left to right. [list] [*]Prove that there exists a positive constant $A,$ independent of $n,$ such that William can always reach his goal in at most $An \log n$ moves.

2022 Junior Balkan Team Selection Tests - Romania, P4

Let $n$ be a positive integer with $d^2$ positive divisors. We fill a $d\times d$ board with these divisors. At a move, we can choose a row, and shift the divisor from the $i^{\text{th}}$ column to the $(i+1)^{\text{th}}$ column, for all $i=1,2,\ldots, d$ (indices reduced modulo $d$). A configuration of the $d\times d$ board is called [i]feasible[/i] if there exists a column with elements $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_d,$ in this order, such that $a_1\mid a_2\mid\ldots\mid a_d$ or $a_d\mid a_{d-1}\mid\ldots\mid a_1.$ Determine all values of $n$ for which ragardless of how we initially fill the board, we can reach a feasible configuration after a finite number of moves.

2003 Chile National Olympiad, 4

Juan did not like the criticism of his classmates published in his school newspaper. He found nothing better than to start ripping up the diary. First he tore it into $4$ parts and then he continued to break it in a very methodical way: namely, each piece of newspaper he found he would tear it back into $4$ or $10$ pieces randomly. Breaking this way, was he able to get exactly $2003$ pieces of the diary?

In a card game, each card is associated with a numerical value from 1 to 100, with each card beating less, with one exception: 1 beats 100. The player knows that 100 cards with different values lie in front of him. The dealer who knows the order of these cards can tell the player which card beats the other for any pair of cards he draws. Prove that the dealer can make one hundred such messages, so that after that the player can accurately determine the value of each card.
