The winners of first AGMC in 2019 gifts the person in charge of the organiser, which is a polyhedron formed by $60$ congruent triangles. From the photo, we can see that this polyhedron formed by $60$ quadrilateral spaces. (Note: You can find the photo in 3.4 of [url]https://files.alicdn.com/tpsservice/18c5c7b31a7074edc58abb48175ae4c3.pdf?spm=a1zmmc.index.0.0.51c0719dNAbw3C&file=18c5c7b31a7074edc58abb48175ae4c3.pdf[/url]) A quadrilateral space is the plane figures that we fold the figures following the diagonal on a $n$ sides on a plane (i.e. form an appropriate dihedral angle in where the chosen diagonal is). "Two figure spaces are congruent" means they can coincide completely by isometric transform in $\mathbb{R}^3$. A polyhedron is the bounded space region, whose boundary is formed by the common edge of finite polygon. (a) We know that $2021=43\times 47$. Does there exist a polyhedron, whose surface can be formed by $43$ congruent $47$-gon? (b) Prove your answer in (a) with logical explanation.

Let $n > 1$ be a fixed integer. On an infinite row of squares, there are $n$ stones on square $1$ and no stones on squares $2$, $3$, $4$, $\ldots$. Curious George plays a game in which a [i]move[/i] consists of taking two adjacent piles of sizes $a$ and $b$, where $a-b$ is a nonzero even integer, and transferring stones to equalize the piles (so that both piles have $\frac{a+b}{2}$ stones). The game ends when no more moves can be made. George wants to analyze the number of moves it takes to end the game. (a) Suppose George wants to end the game as quickly as possible. How many moves will it take him? (b) Suppose George wants to end the game as slowly as possible. Show that for all $n > 2$, the game will end after at most $\frac{3}{16}n^2$ moves. [i]Scoring note:[/i] For part (b), partial credit will be awarded for correct proofs of weaker bounds, eg. $\frac{1}{4}n^2$, $n^k$, or $k^n$ (for some $k \geq 2$).

Let $A$ and $E$ be opposite vertices of an octagon. A frog starts at vertex $A.$ From any vertex except $E$ it jumps to one of the two adjacent vertices. When it reaches $E$ it stops. Let $a_n$ be the number of distinct paths of exactly $n$ jumps ending at $E$. Prove that: \[ a_{2n-1}=0, \quad a_{2n}={(2+\sqrt2)^{n-1} - (2-\sqrt2)^{n-1} \over\sqrt2}. \]

Let $ABCD$ be a square of side length $1$, and let $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ be points on the perimeter such that $\angle P_1P_2P_3 = 90^\circ$ and $P_1, P_2, P_3$ lie on different sides of the square.
