2016 IMO Shortlist, C1
The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?

The following figure is made up of $12$ segments and $8$ circles. As you can see, at the beginning all the circles are empty. In each operation an empty circle is chosen, it is painted red and inside it the number of red neighboring circles that the chosen circle has is written (in the first operation the chosen circle is painted red and the number $0$ is written). After $8$ operations all the circles are painted red and each one has a number written on it. Prove that, no matter how the operations are done, the sum of all the numbers at the end is the same.

Let $n$ be an integer. Dayang are given $n$ sticks of lengths $1,2, 3,..., n$. She may connect the sticks at their ends to form longer sticks, but cannot cut them. She wants to use all these sticks to form a square. For example, for $n = 8$, she can make a square of side length $9$ using these connected sticks: $1 + 8$, $2 + 7$, $3 + 6$, and $4 + 5$. How many values of $n$, with $1 \le n \le 2018$, that allow her to do this?

A magician has $300$ cards with numbers from $1$ to $300$ written on them, each number on exactly one card. The magician then lays these cards on a $3 \times 100$ rectangle in the following way - one card in each unit square so that the number cannot be seen and cards with consecutive numbers are in neighbouring squares. Afterwards, the magician turns over $k$ cards of his choice. What is the smallest value of $k$ for which it can happen that the opened cards definitely determine the exact positions of all other cards?

In Mexico City, in order to limit traffic flow, for each private car is given one day a week on which it cannot go on the city streets.

What is the smallest number of cars a family needs to buy so that each family member can drive independently every day, if the approval of “no travel” days for cars occurs sequentially?

An [i]anti-Pascal[/i] triangle is an equilateral triangular array of numbers such that, except for the numbers in the bottom row, each number is the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers immediately below it. For example, the following is an anti-Pascal triangle with four rows which contains every integer from $1$ to $10$.
\[\begin{array}{
c@{\hspace{4pt}}c@{\hspace{4pt}}
c@{\hspace{4pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{4pt}}c
} \vspace{4pt}

Let $n>1$ be an integer. Suppose we are given $2n$ points in the plane such that no three of them are collinear. The points are to be labelled $A_1, A_2, \dots , A_{2n}$ in some order. We then consider the $2n$ angles $\angle A_1A_2A_3, \angle A_2A_3A_4, \dots , \angle A_{2n-2}A_{2n-1}A_{2n}, \angle A_{2n-1}A_{2n}A_1, \angle A_{2n}A_1A_2$. We measure each angle in the way that gives the smallest positive value (i.e. between $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$). Prove that there exists an ordering of the given points such that the resulting $2n$ angles can be separated into two groups with the sum of one group of angles equal to the sum of the other group.
