A straight line cuts the side $AB$ of the triangle $ABC$ at $C_1$, the side $AC$ at $B_1$ and the line $BC$ at $A_1$. $C_2$ is the reflection of $C_1$ in the midpoint of $AB$, and $B_2$ is the reflection of $B_1$ in the midpoint of $AC$. The lines $B_2C_2$ and $BC$ intersect at $A_2$.

An increasing arithmetic sequence with infinitely many terms is determined as follows. A single die is thrown and the number that appears is taken as the first term. The die is thrown again and the second number that appears is taken as the common difference between each pair of consecutive terms. Determine with proof how many of the 36 possible sequences formed in this way contain at least one perfect square.

Alice and Bob take turns removing balls from a bag containing $10$ black balls and $10$ white balls, with Alice going first. Alice always removes a black ball if there is one, while Bob removes one of the remaining balls uniformly at random. Once all balls have been removed, the expected number of black balls which Bob has can be expressed as $a/b$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100a + b$.

A circle is inscribed in a triangle $ABC$ with sides $a,b,c$. Tangents to the circle parallel to the sides of the triangle are contructe.

On a circular table sit $\displaystyle {n> 2}$ students. First, each student has just one candy. At each step, each student chooses one of the following actions: (A) Gives a candy to the student sitting on his left or to the student sitting on his right. (B) Separates all its candies in two, possibly empty, sets and gives one set to the student sitting on his left and the other to the student sitting on his right. At each step, students perform the actions they have chosen at the same time. A distribution of candy is called legitimate if it can occur after a finite number of steps. Find the number of legitimate distributions. (Two distributions are different if there is a student who has a different number of candy in each of these distributions.) （Forgive my poor English）

$10$ people are sitting at a round table. There are some nuts in front of each of them, $100$ nuts altogether. After a certain signal each person passes some of his nuts to the person sitting to his right . If he has an even number of nuts, he passes half of them; otherwise he passes one nut plus half of the remaining nuts. This procedure is repeated over and over again. Prove that eventually everyone will have exactly $10$ nuts. (A Shapovalov)

How many different ways are there to write 2004 as a sum of one or more positive integers which are all "aproximately equal" to each other? Two numbers are called aproximately equal if their difference is at most 1. The order of terms does not matter: two ways which only differ in the order of terms are not considered different.
