In a $25 \times n$ grid, each square is colored with a color chosen among $8$ different colors. Let $n$ be as minimal as possible such that, independently from the coloration used, it is always possible to select $4$ coloumns and $4$ rows such that the $16$ squares of the interesections are all of the same color. Find the remainder when $n$ is divided by $1000$. [i]Proposed by [b]FedeX333X[/b][/i]

Point $P$ is the intersection of diagonals $AC,BD$ of the trapezoid $ABCD$ with $AB \parallel CD$. Reflections of the lines $AD$ and $BC$ into the internal angle bisectors of $\angle PDC$ and $\angle PCD$ intersects the circumcircles of $\bigtriangleup APD$ and $\bigtriangleup BPC$ at $D'$ and $C'$. Line $C'A$ intersects the circumcircle of $\bigtriangleup BPC$ again at $Y$ and $D'C$ intersects the circumcricle of $\bigtriangleup APD$ again at $X$. Prove that $P,X,Y$ are collinear.

Ten million fireflies are glowing in $\mathbb{R}^3$ at midnight. Some of the fireflies are friends, and friendship is always mutual. Every second, one firefly moves to a new position so that its distance from each one of its friends is the same as it was before moving. This is the only way that the fireflies ever change their positions. No two fireflies may ever occupy the same point. Initially, no two fireflies, friends or not, are more than a meter away. Following some finite number of seconds, all fireflies find themselves at least ten million meters away from their original positions. Given this information, find the greatest possible number of friendships between the fireflies. [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i]

A sequence of real numbers $a_0, a_1, . . .$ is said to be good if the following three conditions hold. (i) The value of $a_0$ is a positive integer. (ii) For each non-negative integer $i$ we have $a_{i+1} = 2a_i + 1 $ or $a_{i+1} =\frac{a_i}{a_i + 2} $ (iii) There exists a positive integer $k$ such that $a_k = 2014$.

Consider a $2 \times n$ grid where each cell is either black or white, which we attempt to tile with $2 \times 1$ black or white tiles such that tiles have to match the colors of the cells they cover. We first randomly select a random positive integer $N$ where $N$ takes the value $n$ with probability $\frac{1}{2^n}$. We then take a $2 \times N$ grid and randomly color each cell black or white independently with equal probability. Compute the probability the resulting grid has a valid tiling.

A total of $2010$ coins are distributed in $5$ boxes. At the beginning the quantities of coins in the boxes are consecutive natural numbers. Martha should choose and take one of the boxes, but before that she can do the following transformation finitely many times: from a box with at least 4 coins she can transfer one coin to each of the other boxes. What is the maximum number of coins that Martha can take away?
