Charlotte is playing the hit new web number game, Primle. In this game, the objective is to guess a two-digit positive prime integer between $10$ and $99$, called the [i]Primle[/i]. For each guess, a digit is highlighted blue if it is in the [i]Primle[/i], but not in the correct place. A digit is highlighted orange if it is in the [i]Primle[/i] and is in the correct place. Finally, a digit is left unhighlighted if it is not in the [i]Primle[/i]. If Charlotte guesses $13$ and $47$ and is left with the following game board, what is the [i]Primle[/i]? $$\begin{array}{c} \boxed{1} \,\, \boxed{3} \\[\smallskipamount] \boxed{4}\,\, \fcolorbox{black}{blue}{\color{white}7} \end{array}$$ [i]Proposed by Andrew Wu and Jason Wang[/i]

Let $n \geqslant 100$ be an integer. Ivan writes the numbers $n, n+1, \ldots, 2 n$ each on different cards. He then shuffles these $n+1$ cards, and divides them into two piles. Prove that at least one of the piles contains two cards such that the sum of their numbers is a perfect square.

Consider a $10 \times 10$ grid. On every move, we colour $4$ unit squares that lie in the intersection of some two rows and two columns. A move is allowed if at least one of the $4$ squares is previously uncoloured. What is the largest possible number of moves that can be taken to colour the whole grid?

Peter and Bob play a game on a $n\times n$ chessboard. At the beginning, all squares are white apart from one black corner square containing a rook. Players take turns to move the rook to a white square and recolour the square black. The player who can not move loses. Peter goes first. Who has a winning strategy?

Let $a,b,c$ be positive integers. Prove that $a^2+b^2+c^2$ is divisible by $4$, if and only if $a,b,c$ are even.

If $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, we say that $a$ [i]almost divides[/i] $b$ if $a$ divides at least one of $b - 1$ and $b + 1$. We call a positive integer $n$ [i]almost prime[/i] if the following holds: for any positive integers $a, b$ such that $n$ almost divides $ab$, we have that $n$ almost divides at least one of $a$ and $b$. Determine all almost prime numbers.
