Let $n$ be a natural number. A sequence is $k-$complete if it contains all residues modulo $n^k$. Let $Q(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients. For $k\ge 2$, define $Q^k(x)=Q(Q^{k-1}(x))$, where $Q^1(x)=Q(x)$. Show that if $$0,Q(0),Q^2(0),Q^3(0),\ldots $$is $2018-$complete, then it is $k-$complete for all positive integers $k$.

Find all monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing functions $f: \mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}_+$ which satisfy the equation $f\left(xy\right)\cdot f\left(\frac{f\left(y\right)}{x}\right)=1$ for any two numbers $x$ and $y$ from $\mathbb{R}_+$. Hereby, $\mathbb{R}_+$ is the set of all positive real numbers. [i]Note.[/i] A function $f: \mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is called [i]monotonically increasing[/i] if for any two positive numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x\geq y$, we have $f\left(x\right)\geq f\left(y\right)$. A function $f: \mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is called [i]monotonically decreasing[/i] if for any two positive numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x\geq y$, we have $f\left(x\right)\leq f\left(y\right)$.

$P$ is a convex polyhedron such that: [b](1)[/b] every vertex belongs to exactly $3$ faces. [b](1)[/b] For every natural number $n$, there are even number of faces with $n$ vertices. An ant walks along the edges of $P$ and forms a non-self-intersecting cycle, which divides the faces of this polyhedron into two sides, such that for every natural number $n$, the number of faces with $n$ vertices on each side are the same. (assume this is possible) Show that the number of times the ant turns left is the same as the number of times the ant turn right.

Four lighthouses are located at points $ A$, $ B$, $ C$, and $ D$. The lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 5$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ B$, the lighthouse at $ B$ is $ 12$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$, and the lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 13$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$. To an observer at $ A$, the angle determined by the lights at $ B$ and $ D$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ C$ and $ D$ are equal. To an observer at $ C$, the angle determined by the lights at $ A$ and $ B$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ D$ and $ B$ are equal. The number of kilometers from $ A$ to $ D$ is given by $ \displaystyle\frac{p\sqrt{r}}{q}$, where $ p$, $ q$, and $ r$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $ r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ p\plus{}q\plus{}r$,

The positive integer $k$ and the set $A$ of distinct integers from $1$ to $3k$ inclusively are such that there are no distinct $a$, $b$, $c$ in $A$ satisfying $2b = a + c$. The numbers from $A$ in the interval $[1, k]$ will be called [i]small[/i]; those in $[k + 1, 2k]$ - [i]medium[/i] and those in $[2k + 1, 3k]$ - [i]large[/i]. It is always true that there are [b]no[/b] positive integers $x$ and $d$ such that if $x$, $x + d$, and $x + 2d$ are divided by $3k$ then the remainders belong to $A$ and those of $x$ and $x + d$ are different and are: a) small? $\hspace{1.5px}$ b) medium? $\hspace{1.5px}$ c) large? ([i]In this problem we assume that if a multiple of $3k$ is divided by $3k$ then the remainder is $3k$ rather than $0$[/i].)
