An equilateral triangle is drawn with a side of length $ a$. A new equilateral triangle is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the first one. Then a third equilateral triangle is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the second; and so on forever. The limit of the sum of the perimeters of all the triangles thus drawn is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{Infinite} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5\frac {1}{4}a \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2a \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6a \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 4\frac {1}{2}a$

Natural number $N$ is given. Let $p_N$ - biggest prime, that $ \leq N$. On every move we replace $N$ by $N-p_N$. We repeat this until we get $0$ or $1$. If we get $1$ then $N$ is called as good, else is bad. For example, $95$ is good because we get $95 \to 6 \to 1$. Prove that among numbers from $1$ to $1000000$ there are between one quarter and half good numbers

We say that a positive integer $n$ is [i]nice[/i] if we can split the numbers $1,2,\ldots,n$ into three sets, so that the sum of the numbers in each set is the same. For example, the number $12$ is nice because we can divide the numbers $1,2,\ldots,12$ into the sets $\left\{1,2,4,5,6,8\right\}$, $\left\{7,9,10\right\}$, and $\left\{3,11,12\right\}$, and the sum of the numbers in each set is $26$. Find all nice positive integers.

Celeste has an unlimited amount of each type of $n$ types of candy, numerated type 1, type 2, ... type n. Initially she takes $m>0$ candy pieces and places them in a row on a table. Then, she chooses one of the following operations (if available) and executes it: $1.$ She eats a candy of type $k$, and in its position in the row she places one candy type $k-1$ followed by one candy type $k+1$ (we consider type $n+1$ to be type 1, and type 0 to be type $n$). $2.$ She chooses two consecutive candies which are the same type, and eats them. Find all positive integers $n$ for which Celeste can leave the table empty for any value of $m$ and any configuration of candies on the table. $\textit{Proposed by Federico Bach and Santiago Rodriguez, Colombia}$
