Tanya and Serezha have a heap of $2016$ candies. They make moves in turn, Tanya moves first. At each move a player can eat either one candy or (if the number of candies is even at the moment) exactly half of all candies. The player that cannot move loses. Which of the players has a winning strategy?

Jorge chooses $6$ different positive integers and writes one on each face of a cube. He threw his bucket three times.
The first time his cube showed the number $5$ facing up and also the sum of the numbers on the faces sides was $20$. The second time his cube showed the number $7$ facing up and also the sum of the numbers on the faces sides was $17$. The third time his cube showed the number $4$ up, plus all the numbers on the side faces. They turned out to be primes. What are the numbers that Jorge chose and how did he distribute them on the faces of the cube? Analyze all odds.
Remember that $1$ is not prime.

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 4$ and $AC = \frac72$ . Let $\omega$ denote the $A$-excircle of $\vartriangle ABC$. Let $\omega$ touch lines $AB$, $AC$ at the points $D$, $E$, respectively. Let $\Omega$ denote the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ADE$. Consider the line $\ell$ parallel to $BC$ such that $\ell$ is tangent to $\omega$ at a point $F$ and such that $\ell$ does not intersect $\Omega$. Let $\ell$ intersect lines $AB$, $AC$ at the points $X$, $Y$ , respectively, with $XY = 18$ and $AX = 16$. Let the perpendicular bisector of $XY$ meet the circumcircle of $\vartriangle AXY$ at $P$, $Q$, where the distance from $P$ to $F$ is smaller than the distance from $Q$ to$ F$. Let ray $\overrightarrow {PF}$ meet $\Omega$ for the first time at the point $Z$. If $PZ^2 = \frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$, $n$, find $m + n$.

MOAA Individual Speed General Rounds, 2023.3
Andy and Harry are trying to make an O for the MOAA logo. Andy starts with a circular piece of leather with radius 3 feet and cuts out a circle with radius 2 feet from the middle. Harry starts with a square piece of leather with side length 3 feet and cuts out a square with side length 2 feet from the middle. In square feet, what is the positive difference in area between Andy and Harry's final product to the nearest integer?

2007 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 4
Circle $\omega$ has radius $5$ and is centered at $O$. Point $A$ lies outside $\omega$ such that $OA=13$. The two tangents to $\omega$ passing through $A$ are drawn, and points $B$ and $C$ are chosen on them (one on each tangent), such that line $BC$ is tangent to $\omega$ and $\omega$ lies outside triangle $ABC$. Compute $AB+AC$ given that $BC=7$.

Suppose each element $i\in S=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is assigned a nonempty set $S_i\subseteq S$ so that the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i) for any $i,j\in S$, if $j\in S_i$ then $i\in S_j$;

It is intended to make a map locating $30$ different cities on it. For this, all the distances between these cities are available as data (each of these distances is considered as a “data”). Three of these cities are already laid out on the map, and they turn out to be non-collinear. How much data must be used as a minimum to complete the map?

$\bullet$ There is a circle that passes through points $ A, O, H, C $
Prove that the $ \vartriangle ABC $ is equilateral.
