Determine all natural numbers $ \overline{ab} $ with $ a<b $ which are equal with the sum of all the natural numbers between $ a $ and $ b, $ inclusively.

In Sikinia we only pay with coins that have a value of either $11$ or $12$ Kulotnik. In a burglary in one of Sikinia's banks, $11$ bandits cracked the safe and could get away with $5940$ Kulotnik. They tried to split up the money equally - so that everyone gets the same amount - but it just doesn't worked. After a while their leader claimed that it actually isn't possible. Prove that they didn't get any coin with the value $12$ Kulotnik.

Find all pairs of real numbers $(x, y)$ for which the inequality $y^2 + y + \sqrt{y - x^2 -xy} \le 3xy$ holds.

Starting with an arbitrary pair (a,b) of vectors on the plane, we are allowed to perform the operations of the following two types: (1) To replace $(a,b)$ with $(a+2kb,b)$ for an arbitrary integer $k \ne 0$; (2) To replace $(a,b)$ with $(a,b+2ka)$ for an arbitrary integer $ k \ne 0$. However, we must change the type of operetion in any step. (a) Is it possible to obtain $((1,0), (2,1))$ from $((1,0), (0,1))$, if the first operation is of the type (1)? (b) Find all pairs of vectors that can be obtained from $((1,0), (0,1))$ (the type of first operation can be selected arbitrarily).

A polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients is written on the blackboard. The teacher is a mathematician who has $3$ kids: Andrew, Beth and Charles. Andrew, who is $7$, is the youngest, and Charles is the oldest. When evaluating the polynomial on his kids' ages he obtains: [list]$f(7) = 77$ $f(b) = 85$, where $b$ is Beth's age, $f(c) = 0$, where $c$ is Charles' age.[/list] How old is each child?

Just as the twins finish their masterpiece of symbol art, Wendy comes along. Wendy is impressed by the explanation Alexis and Joshua give her as to how they knew they drew every row exactly once. Wendy puts them both to the test. "Suppose the two of you draw symbols as you have before, stars in pairs and boxes in threes." Wendy continues, "Now, suppose that I draw circles with X's in the middle." Wendy shows them examples of such rows: \[\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc} \vspace{10pt}*&*&*&*&\otimes&*&*&\otimes&*&*&*&*&\blacksquare&\blacksquare&\blacksquare\\\vspace{10pt}\blacksquare&\blacksquare&\blacksquare&*&*&*&*&\otimes&*&*&\otimes&*&*&*&*\\\vspace{10pt}\otimes&\blacksquare&\blacksquare&\blacksquare&\otimes&\otimes&*&*&\otimes&*&*&\otimes&\blacksquare&\blacksquare&\blacksquare \end{array}\] "Again we count both the first two rows, which are mirror images of one another, but we only count a row that is its own mirror image. $\textit{Now}$ how man rows of $15$ symbols are possible?" Though it takes the twins some time, they eventually come up with an answer they agree on. Wendy confirms that they are correct. How many rows did the twins find are possible using all three symbols as described?

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $n=m^2+1$. Determine all real numbers $x_1,x_2,\dotsc ,x_n$ satisfying $$x_i=1+\frac{2mx_i^2}{x_1^2+x_2^2+\cdots +x_n^2}\quad \text{for all }i=1,2,\dotsc ,n.$$

5. Alice and Bob have found 100 bricks of the same size, 50 white and 50 black. They came up with the following game. A tower will mean one or several bricks standing on top of one another. At the start of the game all bricks lie separately, so there are 100 towers. In a single turn a player must put one of the towers on top of another tower (no flipping towers allowed) so that the resulting tower has no same-colored bricks next to each other. The players make moves in turns, Alice starts first. The one unable to make the next move loses the game. Who can guarantee the win regardless of the opponent's strategy?
