2024 5th Memorial "Aleksandar Blazhevski-Cane", P1
This year, some contestants at the Memorial Contest ABC are friends with each other (friendship is always mutual). For each contestant $X$, let $t(X)$ be the total score that this contestant achieved in previous years before this contest. It is known that the following statements are true:
$1)$ For any two friends $X'$ and $X''$, we have $t(X') \neq t(X''),$
$2)$ For every contestant $X$, the set $\{ t(Y) : Y \text{ is a friend of } X \}$ consists of consecutive integers.
The organizers want to distribute the contestants into contest halls in such a way that no two friends are in the same hall. What is the minimal number of halls they need?

A board $n$×$n$ is coloured black and white like a chessboard. The following steps are permitted: Choose a rectangle inside the board (consisting of entire cells)whose side lengths are both odd or both even, but not both equal to $1$, and invert the colours of all cells inside the rectangle. Determine the values of $n$ for which it is possible to make all the cells have the same colour in a finite number of such steps.

Ali and Shayan are playing a turn-based game on an infinite grid. Initially, all cells are white. Ali starts the game, and in the first turn, he colors one unit square black. In the following turns, each player must color a white square that shares at least one side with a black square. The game continues for exactly 2808 turns, after which each player has made 1404 moves. Let $A$ be the set of black cells at the end of the game. Ali and Shayan respectively aim to minimize and maximise the perimeter of the shape $A$ by playing optimally. (The perimeter of shape $A$ is defined as the total length of the boundary segments between a black and a white cell.)
What are the possible values of the perimeter of $A$, assuming both players play optimally?

[b]rolling cube[/b]
$a$,$b$ and $c$ are natural numbers. we have a $(2a+1)\times (2b+1)\times (2c+1)$ cube. this cube is on an infinite plane with unit squares. you call roll the cube to every side you want. faces of the cube are divided to unit squares and the square in the middle of each face is coloured (it means that if this square goes on a square of the plane, then that square will be coloured.)
prove that if any two of lengths of sides of the cube are relatively prime, then we can colour every square in plane.
time allowed for this question was 1 hour.
