A positive integer $n$ is defined as a $\textit{stepstool number}$ if $n$ has one less positive divisor than $n + 1$. For example, $3$ is a stepstool number, as $3$ has $2$ divisors and $4$ has $2 + 1 = 3$ divisors. Find the sum of all stepstool numbers less than $300$. [i]Proposed by [b]Th3Numb3rThr33[/b][/i]

Let $x$ and $y$ be positive integers we have a table $x\times y$ where $(x + 1)(y + 1)$ points are red(the points are the vertices of the squares). Initially there is one ant in each red point, in a moment the ants walk by the lines of the table with same speed, each turn that an ant arrive in a red point the ant moves $90º$ to some direction. Determine all values of $x$ and $y$ where is possible that the ants move indefinitely where can't be in any moment two ants in the same red point.

Alice and Brian are playing a game on a $1\times (N + 2)$ board. To start the game, Alice places a checker on any of the $N$ interior squares. In each move, Brian chooses a positive integer $n$. Alice must move the checker to the $n$-th square on the left or the right of its current position. If the checker moves off the board, Alice wins. If it lands on either of the end squares, Brian wins. If it lands on another interior square, the game proceeds to the next move. For which values of $N$ does Brian have a strategy which allows him to win the game in a finite number of moves?
