1995 Argentina National Olympiad, 1

$A_0A_1\ldots A_n$ is a regular polygon with $n+1$ vertices ($n>2$). Initially $n$ stones are placed at vertex $A_0$. In each allowed operation, $2$ stones are moved simultaneously, at the player's choice: each stone is moved from the vertex where it is located to one of the adjacent $2$ vertices. Find all the values of $n$ for which it is possible to have, after a succession of permitted operations, a stone at each of the vertices $A_1,A_2,\ldots ,A_n$. Clarification: The two stones that move in an allowed operation can be at the same vertex or at different vertices.

In the lower left corner of the square $7 \times 7$ board there is a king. In one move, he can move either one cell to the right, or one cell up, or one cell diagonally - to the right and up. How many different ways can the king get to the upper right corner of the board if he is prohibited from visiting the central square?

The circle is divided into $49$ areas so that no three areas touch at one point. The resulting “map” is colored in three colors so that no two adjacent areas have the same color. The border of two areas is considered to be colored in both colors. Prove that on the circle there are two diametrically opposite points, colored in one color.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Find all positive integers $n$, such that it is possible to mark $n$ points on the sides of a triangle (different from its vertices) and connect some of them with a line in such a way that the following conditions are satisfied: 1) there is at least $1$ marked point on each side, 2) for each pair of points $X$ and $Y$ marked on different sides, on the third side there exist exactly $k$ marked points which are connected to both $X$ and $Y$ and exactly k points which are connected to neither $X$ nor $Y$

Towns $A_1, A_2, . . . , A_{30}$ lie on line $MN$. The distances between the consecutive towns are equal. Each of the towns is the point of origin of a straight highway. The highways are on the same side of $MN$ and form the following angles with it: [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/a/f/6cfcac497bdd729b966705f1060bd4b1caba25.png[/img] Thirty cars start simultaneously from these towns along the highway at the same constant speed. Each intersection has a gate. As soon as the first (in time, not in number) car passes the intersection the gate closes and blocks the way for all other cars approaching this intersection. Which cars will pass all intersections and which will be stopped? Note: This refers to angles measured counterclockwise from straight MN to the corresponding road.

Let $m$, $n$ be positive integers. On an $m\times{n}$ checkerboard, divided into $1\times1$ squares, we consider all paths that go from upper right vertex to the lower left vertex, travelling exclusively on the grid lines by going down or to the left. We define the area of a path as the number of squares on the checkerboard that are below this path. Let $p$ be a prime such that $r_{p}(m)+r_{p}(n)\geq{p}$, where $r_{p}(m)$ denotes the remainder when $m$ is divided by $p$ and $r_{p}(n)$ denotes the remainder when $n$ is divided by $p$. How many paths have an area that is a multiple of $p$?

In a $3 \times 25$ board, $1 \times 3$ pieces are placed (vertically or horizontally) so that they occupy entirely $3$ boxes on the board and do not have a common point. What is the maximum number of pieces that can be placed, and for that number, how many configurations are there?

Points $A_1, A_2, ..., A_{10}$ are marked on a circle clockwise. It is known that these points can be divided into pairs of points symmetric with respect to the centre of the circle. Initially at each marked point there was a grasshopper. Every minute one of the grasshoppers jumps over its neighbour along the circle so that the resulting distance between them doesn't change. It is not allowed to jump over any other grasshopper and to land at a point already occupied. It occurred that at some moment nine grasshoppers were found at points $A_1, A_2, ... , A_9$ and the tenth grasshopper was on arc $A_9A_{10}A_1$. Is it necessarily true that this grasshopper was exactly at point $A_{10}$?

1993 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 10.8

From a square board $1000\times 1000$ four rectangles $2\times 994$ have been cut off as shown on the picture. Initially, on the marked square there is a centaur - a piece that moves to the adjacent square to the left, up, or diagonally up-right in each move. Two players alternately move the centaur. The one who cannot make a move loses the game. Who has a winning strategy? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/c/6/f61c186413b642b5b59f3947bc7a108c772d27.png[/img]
