In a mathematical contest, three problems, $A,B,C$ were posed. Among the participants ther were 25 students who solved at least one problem each. Of all the contestants who did not solve problem $A$, the number who solved $B$ was twice the number who solved $C$. The number of students who solved only problem $A$ was one more than the number of students who solved $A$ and at least one other problem. Of all students who solved just one problem, half did not solve problem $A$. How many students solved only problem $B$?

Let be four positive integers $m, n, p, q$, with $p < m$ given and $q < n$. Take four points $A(0; 0), B(p; 0), C (m; q)$ and $D(m; n)$ in the coordinate plane. Consider the paths $f$ from $A$ to $D$ and the paths $g$ from $B$ to $C$ such that when going along $f$ or $g$, one goes only in the positive directions of coordinates and one can only change directions (from the positive direction of one axe coordinate into the the positive direction of the other axe coordinate) at the points with integral coordinates. Let $S$ be the number of couples $(f, g)$ such that $f$ and $g$ have no common points. Prove that
\[S = \binom{n}{m+n} \cdot \binom{q}{m+q-p} - \binom{q}{m+q} \cdot \binom{n}{m+n-p}.\]

In the creation of the world there is a lonely island inhabited by dragons, snakes and crocodiles. Every inhabitant eats once a day: every snake eats one dragon for breakfast, every dragon eats one crocodile for lunch and every crocodile eats a snake for dinner. Find the total number of dragons, snakes and crocodiles on the island immediately after the creation of the world (at the beginning of the first day), when, at the end of the sixth day, there is only one inhabitant alive on the island, only one crocodile and during these six days none of the inhabitants of the island considered any to give up their meals due to lack of food.

A not necessary nonplanar polygon in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is called [b]Grid Polygon[/b] if each of it's edges are parallel to one of the axes.
(a) There's a right angle between each two neighbour sides of the grid polygon, the plane containing this angle could be parallel to either $xy$ plane, $yz$ plane, or $xz$ plane. Prove that parity of the number of the angles that the plane containing each of them is parallel to $xy$ plane is equal to parity of the number of the angles that the plane containing each of them is parallel to $yz$ plane and parity of the number of the angles that the plane containing each of them is parallel to $zx$ plane.
(b) A grid polygon is called [b]Inscribed[/b] if there's a point in the space that has an equal distance from all of the vertices of the polygon. Prove that any nonplanar grid hexagon is inscribed.
(c) Does there exist a grid 2014-gon without repeated vertices such that there exists a plane that intersects all of it's edges?

The Judgment of the Council of Sages proceeds as follows: the king arranges the sages in a line and places either a white hat or a black hat on each sage's head. Each sage can see the color of the hats of the sages in front of him, but not of his own hat or of the hats of the sages behind him. Then one by one (in an order of their choosing), each sage guesses a color. Afterward, the king executes those sages who did not correctly guess the color of their own hat. The day before, the Council meets and decides to minimize the number of executions. What is the smallest number of sages guaranteed to survive in this case?

Define a string to be doubly palindromic if it can be split into two (non-empty) parts that are read the same both backwards and forwards. For example hannahhuh is doubly palindromic as it can be split into hannah and huh. How many doubly palindromic strings of length 9 using only the letters $\{a, b, c, d\}$ are there?

In each move, you can select a cell and remove exactly three edges surrounding that cell; in particular, that cell must have at least three remaining edges for the operation to be valid. For which positive integers $n$ is this possible?

Let $n \ge 4$ and $k$ be positive integers. We consider $n$ lines in the plane between which there are not two parallel nor three concurrent. In each of the $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ points of intersection of these lines, $k$ coins are placed. Ana and Beto play the following game in turns: each player, in turn, chooses one of those points that does not share one of the $n$ lines with the point chosen immediately before by the other player, and removes a coin from that point. Ana starts and can choose any point. The player who cannot make his move loses. Determine based on $n$ and $k$ who has a winning strategy.

Kid and Karlsson play a game. Initially they have a square piece of chocolate $2019\times 2019$ grid with $1\times 1$ cells . On every turn Kid divides an arbitrary piece of chololate into three rectanglular pieces by cells, and then Karlsson chooses one of them and eats it. The game finishes when it's impossible to make a legal move. Kid wins if there was made an even number of moves, Karlsson wins if there was made an odd number of moves.
Who has the winning strategy?
