Let $A$ and $B$ be two sets of non-negative integers, define $A+B$ as the set of the values obtained when we sum any (one) element of the set $A$ with any (one) element of the set $B$. For instance, if $A=\{2,3\}$ and $B=\{0,1,2,5\}$ so $A+B=\{2,3,4,5,7,8\}$. Determine the least integer $k$ such that there is a pair of sets $A$ and $B$ of non-negative integers with $k$ and $2k$ elements, respectively, and $A+B=\{0,1,2,\dots, 2019,2020\}$

Consider the following operation on positive real numbers written on a blackboard: Choose a number $ r$ written on the blackboard, erase that number, and then write a pair of positive real numbers $ a$ and $ b$ satisfying the condition $ 2 r^2 \equal{} ab$ on the board. Assume that you start out with just one positive real number $ r$ on the blackboard, and apply this operation $ k^2 \minus{} 1$ times to end up with $ k^2$ positive real numbers, not necessarily distinct. Show that there exists a number on the board which does not exceed kr.

Some points in the plane are either colored red or blue. The distance between two points of the opposite color is at most 1. Prove that there exists a circle with diameter $\sqrt{2}$ such that no two points outside of this circle have same color. It is enough to prove this claim for a finite number of colored points.

Some pairs of cities in the country are connected by airlines, and some are not. But every city has an airport, from which you can get to any other city, making no more than one transfer. A tourist who wants to make a round trip through several cities of the country will have to fly around at least five cities. Prove that the same number of airlines depart from each city of the country (If there is an airline from one city to another, then there is also one from the second to the first. A circular trip is a route that passes through at least three cities, starting and ending in same city, other cities are not repeated in it)

A regular hexagon with side length $ 1 $ is given. There are $ m $ points in its interior such that no $ 3 $ are collinear. The hexagon is divided into triangles (triangulated), such that every point of the $ m $ given and every vertex of the hexagon is a vertex of such a triangle. The triangles don't have common interior points. Prove that there exists a triangle with area not greater than $ \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4(m+2)}$.

In a plane, there is an infinite triangular grid consists of equilateral triangles whose lengths of the sides are equal to $ 1$, call the vertices of the triangles the lattice points, call two lattice points are adjacent if the distance between the two points is equal to $ 1;$ A jump game is played by two frogs $ A,B,$ "A jump" is called if the frogs jump from the point which it is lying on to its adjacent point, " A round jump of $ A,B$" is called if first $ A$ jumps and then $ B$ by the following rules: Rule (1): $ A$ jumps once arbitrarily, then $ B$ jumps once in the same direction, or twice in the opposite direction; Rule (2): when $ A,B$ sits on adjacent lattice points, they carry out Rule (1) finishing a round jump, or $ A$ jumps twice continually, keep adjacent with $ B$ every time, and $ B$ rests on previous position; If the original positions of $ A,B$ are adjacent lattice points, determine whether for $ A$ and $ B$,such that the one can exactly land on the original position of the other after a finite round jumps.

There are dwarves in a forest and each one of them owns exactly 3 hats which are numbered with numbers $1, 2, \dots 28$. Three hats of a dwarf are numbered with different numbers and there are 3 festivals in this forest in a day. In the first festival, each dwarf wears the hat which has the smallest value, in the second festival, each dwarf wears the hat which has the second smallest value and in the final festival each dwarf wears the hat which has the biggest value. After that, it is realized that there is no dwarf pair such that both of two dwarves wear the same value in at least two festivals. Find the maximum value of number of dwarves.

In the Euclidean three-dimensional space, we call [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ every partition of $S \setminus \{x,y\}$ into disjoint circles, where $x$ and $y$ are two points of $S$. A folding of $S$ is called [b]linear[/b] if the circles of the [i]folding[/i] are obtained by the intersection of $S$ with a family of parallel planes or with a family of planes containing a straight line $D$ exterior to $S$. Is every [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ [b]linear[/b]?

Let $n$ be a posititve integer and let $M$ the set of all all integer cordinates $(a,b,c)$ such that $0 \le a,b,c \le n$. A frog needs to go from the point $(0,0,0)$ to the point $(n,n,n)$ with the following rules: $\cdot$ The frog can jump only in points of $M$ $\cdot$ The frog can't jump more than $1$ time over the same point. $\cdot$ In each jump the frog can go from $(x,y,z)$ to $(x+1,y,z)$, $(x,y+1,z)$, $(x,y,z+1)$ or $(x,y,z-1)$ In how many ways the Frog can make his target?

Consider a board with $n$ rows and $4$ columns. In the first line are written $4$ zeros (one in each house). Next, each line is then obtained from the previous line by performing the following operation: one of the houses, (that you can choose), is maintained as in the previous line; the other three are changed: * if in the previous line there was a $0$, then in the down square $1$ is placed; * if in the previous line there was a $1$, then in the down square $2$ is placed; * if in the previous line there was a $2$, then in the down square $0$ is placed; Build the largest possible board with all its distinct lines and demonstrate that it is impossible to build a larger board.
