Given a board consists of $n \times n$ unit squares ($n \ge 3$). Each unit square is colored black and white, resembling a chessboard. In each step, TOMI can choose any $2 \times 2$ square and change the color of every unit square chosen with the other color (white becomes black and black becomes white). Find every $n$ such that after a finite number of moves, every unit square on the board has a same color.

Let $n$ be some positive integer. Free university accepts $n^2$ freshmen, where no two students know each other initially. It's known that students can only get to know eachother on parties, which are organized by the university's administration. The administration's goal is to ensure that there does not exist a group of $n$ students where none of them know each other. Organizing a party with $m$ members incurs a cost of $m^2 - m$. Determine the minimal cost for the administration to fulfill their goal.

[b]p1.[/b] The Evergreen School booked buses for a field trip. Altogether, $138$ people went to West Lake, while $115$ people went to East Lake. The buses all had the same number of seats and every bus has more than one seat. All seats were occupied and everybody had a seat. How many seats were on each bus?
[b]p2.[/b] In New Scotland there are three kinds of coins: $1$ cent, $6$ cent, and $36$ cent coins. Josh has $99$ of the $36$-cent coins (and no other coins). He is allowed to exchange a $36$ cent coin for $6$ coins of $6$ cents, and to exchange a $6$ cent coin for $6$ coins of $1$ cent. Is it possible that after several exchanges Josh will have $500$ coins?
[b]p3.[/b] Find all solutions $a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h$ if these letters represent distinct digits and the following multiplication is correct:

\hline
& f & a & g & c \\
x & b & b & h & \\

[b]p4.[/b] Is it possible to find a rectangle of perimeter $10$ m and cut it in rectangles (as many as you want) so that the sum of the perimeters is $500$ m?
[b]p5.[/b] The picture shows a maze with chambers (shown as circles) and passageways (shown as segments). A cat located in chamber $C$ tries to catch a mouse that was originally in the chamber $M$. The cat makes the first move, moving from chamber $C$ to one of the neighboring chambers. Then the mouse moves, then the cat, and so forth. At each step, the cat and the mouse can move to any neighboring chamber or not move at all. The cat catches the mouse by moving into the chamber currently occupied by the mouse. Can the cat get the mouse?

Prove that for every natural number $n$, and for every real number $x \neq \frac{k\pi}{2^t}$ ($t=0,1, \dots, n$; $k$ any integer) \[ \frac{1}{\sin{2x}}+\frac{1}{\sin{4x}}+\dots+\frac{1}{\sin{2^nx}}=\cot{x}-\cot{2^nx} \]

We color one of the numbers $1,...,8$ with white or black according to the following rules:
i) number $4$ gets colored white and one at lest of the following numbers gets colored black
ii) if two numbers $a,b$ are colored in a different color and $a+b\le 8$, then number $a+b$ gets colored black.
iii) if two numbers $a,b$ are colored in a different color and $a\cdot b\le 8$, then number $a\cdot b$ gets colored white.
If by those rules, all numbers get colored, find the color of each number.

Denote by $S_{n}$ the set of all permutations of the set $\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. Let $\sigma \in S_{n}$ be a permutation. We define the $\textit{displacement}$ of $\sigma$ to be the number $d(\sigma)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} \vert \sigma(i)-i \vert$. We saw that $\sigma$ is $\textit{maximally}$ $\textit{displacing}$ if $d(\sigma)$ is the largest possible, i.e. if $d(\sigma) \geq d({\pi})$, for all $\pi \in S_{n}$.
$\text{a)}$ Suppose $\sigma$ is a maximally displacing permutation of $\{1,2, \dots, 2024\}$. Prove that $\sigma(i)\neq i$, for all $i \in \{1,2, \dots, 2024.\}$
$\text{b)}$ Does the statement of part a) hold for permutations of $\{1,2, \dots, 2025\}$?

For a prime $p$, a natural number $n$ and an integer $a$, we let $S_n(a,p)$ denote the exponent of $p$ in the prime factorisation of $a^{p^n} - 1$. For example, $S_1(4,3) = 2$ and $S_2(6,2) = 0$. Find all pairs $(n,p)$ such that $S_n(2013,p) = 100$.

A Pokemon fan walks into a store. An employee tells them that there are $2$ Pikachus, $3$ Eevees, $4$ Snorlaxes, and $5$ Bulbasaurs remaining inside the gacha machine. Given that this fan cannot see what is inside the Poké Balls before opening them, find the least number of Poké Balls they must buy in order to be sure to get one Pikachu and one Snorlax.

In each cell of the table $4 \times 4$, in which the lines are labeled with numbers $1,2,3,4$, and columns with letters $a,b,c,d$, one number is written: $0$ or $1$ . Such a table is called [i]valid [/i] if there are exactly two units in each of its rows and in each column. Determine the number of [i]valid [/i] tables.

Suppose we climb a mountain that is a cone with radius $100$ and height $4$. We start at the bottom of the mountain (on the perimeter of the base of the cone), and our destination is the opposite side of the mountain, halfway up (height $z = 2$). Our climbing speed starts at $v_0=2$ but gets slower at a rate inversely proportional to the distance to the mountain top (so at height $z$ the speed $v$ is $(h-z)v_0/h$). Find the minimum time needed to get to the destination.

In an acute triangle $ABC$, let a line $\ell$ pass through the orthocenter and not through point $A$. The line $\ell$ intersects line $BC$ at $P(\neq B, C)$. A line passing through $A$ and perpendicular to $\ell$ meets the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ at $R(\neq A)$. Let the feet of the perpendiculars from $A, B$ to $\ell$ be $A', B'$, respectively. Define line $\ell_1$ as the line passing through $A'$ and perpendicular to $BC$, and line $\ell_2$ as the line passing through $B'$ and perpendicular to $CA$. Prove that if $Q$ is the reflection of the intersection of $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ across $\ell$, then $\angle PQR = 90^{\circ}$.
