Welcome to the [b]USAYNO[/b], where each question has a yes/no answer. Choose any subset of the following six problems to answer. If you answer $n$ problems and get them [b]all[/b] correct, you will receive $\max(0, (n-1)(n-2))$ points. If any of them are wrong (or you leave them all blank), you will receive $0$ points. Your answer should be a six-character string containing 'Y' (for yes), 'N' (for no), or 'B' (for blank). For instance if you think 1,2, and 6 are 'yes' and 3 and 4 are 'no', you should answer YYNNBY (and receive $12$ points if all five answers are correct, 0 points if any are wrong). (a) Can $1000$ queens be placed on a $2017\times2017$ chessboard such that every square is attacked by some queen? A square is attacked by a queen if it lies on the same row, column, or diagonal as the queen. (b) A $2017\times2017$ grid of squares originally contains a $0$ in each square. At any step, Kelvin the Frog choose two adjacent squares (two squares are adjacent if they share a side) and increments the numbers in both of them by $1$. Can Kelvin make every square contain a different power of $2$? (c) A [i]tournament[/i] consists of single games between every pair of players, where each game has a winner and a loser with no ties. A set of people is [i]dominated[/i] if there exists a player who beats all of them. Does there exist a tournament in which every set of $2017$ people is dominated? (d) Every cell of a $19\times19$ grid is colored either red, yellow, green, or blue. Does there necessarily exist a rectangle whose sides are parallel to the grid, all of whose vertices are the same color? (e) Does there exist a $c\in\mathbb{R}^+$ such that $\max(|A\cdot A|, |A+A|)\ge c|A|\log^2|A|$ for all finite sets $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$? (f) Can the set $\{1, 2, \dots, 1093\}$ be partitioned into $7$ subsets such that each subset is sum-free (i.e. no subset contains $a,b,c$ with $a+b=c$)?

The continuous function $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ has the property: \[\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\ n\left(f\left(x+\frac{1}{n}\right)-f(x)\right)=0 \] for every $x\in [0,1)$.

A group of $6$ friends sit in the back row of an otherwise empty movie theater. Each row in the theater contains $8$ seats. Euler and Gauss are best friends, so they must sit next to each other, with no empty seat between them. However, Lagrange called them names at lunch, so he cannot sit in an adjacent seat to either Euler or Gauss. In how many different ways can the $6$ friends be seated in the back row? $\text{(A) }2520\qquad\text{(B) }3600\qquad\text{(C) }4080\qquad\text{(D) }5040\qquad\text{(E) }7200$

Given trapezoid $ ABCD$ with parallel sides $ AB$ and $ CD$, assume that there exist points $ E$ on line $ BC$ outside segment $ BC$, and $ F$ inside segment $ AD$ such that $ \angle DAE \equal{} \angle CBF$. Denote by $ I$ the point of intersection of $ CD$ and $ EF$, and by $ J$ the point of intersection of $ AB$ and $ EF$. Let $ K$ be the midpoint of segment $ EF$, assume it does not lie on line $ AB$. Prove that $ I$ belongs to the circumcircle of $ ABK$ if and only if $ K$ belongs to the circumcircle of $ CDJ$. [i]Proposed by Charles Leytem, Luxembourg[/i]

2017 Taiwan TST Round 1, 2

The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?

While waiting for their food at a restaurant in Harvard Square, Ana and Banana draw $3$ squares $\square_1, \square_2, \square_3$ on one of their napkins. Starting with Ana, they take turns filling in the squares with integers from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ such that no integer is used more than once. Ana's goal is to minimize the minimum value that the polynomial $a_1x^2 + a_2x + a_3$ attains over all real $x$, where $a_1, a_2, a_3$ are the integers written in $\square_1, \square_2, \square_3$ respectively. Banana aims to maximize $M$. Assuming both play optimally, compute the final value of $100a_1+10a_2+a_3$.
