There is an integer in each cell of a $2m\times 2n$ table. We define the following operation: choose three cells forming an L-tromino (namely, a cell $C$ and two other cells sharing a side with $C$, one being horizontal and the other being vertical) and sum $1$ to each integer in the three chosen cells. Find a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of $m$, $n$ and the initial numbers on the table, for which there exists a sequence of operations that makes all the numbers on the table equal.

1989 IMO Shortlist, 1

$ ABC$ is a triangle, the bisector of angle $ A$ meets the circumcircle of triangle $ ABC$ in $ A_1$, points $ B_1$ and $ C_1$ are defined similarly. Let $ AA_1$ meet the lines that bisect the two external angles at $ B$ and $ C$ in $ A_0$. Define $ B_0$ and $ C_0$ similarly. Prove that the area of triangle $ A_0B_0C_0 \equal{} 2 \cdot$ area of hexagon $ AC_1BA_1CB_1 \geq 4 \cdot$ area of triangle $ ABC$.

In fencing, you win a round if you are the first to reach $15$ points. Suppose that when $A$ plays against $B$, at any point during the round, $A$ scores the next point with probability $p$ and $B$ scores the next point with probability $q=1-p$. (However, they never can both score a point at the same time.) Suppose that in this round, $A$ already has $14-k$ points, and $B$ has $14-\ell$ (where $0\le k,\ell\le 14$). By how much will the probability that $A$ wins the round increase if $A$ scores the next point?

A set of lines in the plane is in [i]general position[/i] if no two are parallel and no three pass through the same point. A set of lines in general position cuts the plane into regions, some of which have finite area; we call these its [i]finite regions[/i]. Prove that for all sufficiently large $n$, in any set of $n$ lines in general position it is possible to colour at least $\sqrt{n}$ lines blue in such a way that none of its finite regions has a completely blue boundary. [i]Note[/i]: Results with $\sqrt{n}$ replaced by $c\sqrt{n}$ will be awarded points depending on the value of the constant $c$.

Determine what day of the week day was: June $6$, $1944$. Note: Leap years are those that are multiples of $4$ and do not end in $00$ or that are multiples of $400$, for example $1812$, $1816$, $1820$, $1600$, $2000$, but $1800$, $1810$, $2100$ are not leaps. Giving the answer without any mathematical justification will not award points.

In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $M$ is a point on the side $BC$, the line $AM$ meets the circumcircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ at the point $Q$ distinct from $A$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $Q$ intersects the line through $M$ perpendicular to the diameter $AK$ of $\omega$ at the point $P$. Let $L$ be the point on $\omega$ distinct from $Q$ such that $PL$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $L$. Prove that $L,M$ and $K$ are collinear.

On a large chessboard, there are $4$ puddings that form a square with size $1$. A pudding $A$ could jump over a pudding $B$, or equivalently, $A$ moves to the symmetric point with respect to $B$. Is it possible that after finite times of jumping, the puddings form a square with size $2$?
