Rothschild the benefactor has a certain number of coins. A man comes, and Rothschild wants to share his coins with him. If he has an even number of coins, he gives half of them to the man and goes away. If he has an odd number of coins, he donates one coin to charity so he can have an even number of coins, but meanwhile another man comes. So now he has to share his coins with two other people. If it is possible to do so evenly, he does so and goes away. Otherwise, he again donates a few coins to charity (no more than 3). Meanwhile, yet another man comes. This goes on until Rothschild is able to divide his coins evenly or until he runs out of money. Does there exist a natural number $N$ such that if Rothschild has at least $N$ coins in the beginning, he will end with at least one coin?

Show that for any integer $n \ge 2$ the sum of the fractions $\frac{1}{ab}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $a < b \le n$ and $a+b > n$, equals $\frac{1}{2}$.
(Integers $a$ and $b$ are called relatively prime if the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$ is $1$.)

A pyramid has square base and equal sides. It is cut into two parts by a plane parallel to the base. The lower part (which has square top and square base) is such that the circumcircle of the base is smaller than the circumcircles of the lateral faces. Show that the shortest path on the surface joining the two endpoints of a spatial diagonal lies entirely on the lateral faces.

A grasshopper is jumping about in a grid. From the point with coordinates $(a, b)$ it can jump to either $(a + 1, b),(a + 2, b),(a + 1, b + 1),(a, b + 2)$ or $(a, b + 1)$. In how many ways can it reach the line $x + y = 2014?$ Where the grasshopper starts in $(0, 0)$.

A function $f:\{1,2, \ldots, n\} \to \{1, \ldots, m\}$ is [i]multiplication-preserving[/i] if $f(i)f(j) = f(ij)$ for all $1 \le i \le j \le ij \le n$, and [i]injective[/i] if $f(i) = f(j)$ only when $i = j$. For $n = 9, m = 88$, the number of injective, multiplication-preserving functions is $N$. Find the sum of the prime factors of $N$, including multiplicity. (For example, if $N = 12$, the answer would be $2 + 2 + 3 = 7$.)

Suppose $N$ is any positive integer. Add the digits of $N$ to obtain a smaller integer. Repeat this process of digit-addition till you get a single digit numbem. Find the number of positive integers $N \le 1000$, such that the final single-digit number $n$ is equal to $5$.
Example: $N = 563\to (5 + 6 + 3) = 14 \to(1 + 4) = 5$ will be counted as one such integer.

In Oddland there are stamps with values of $1$ cent, $3$ cents, $5$ cents, etc., each for odd number there is exactly one stamp type. Oddland Post dictates: For two different values on a letter must be the number of stamps of the lower one value must be at least as large as the number of tokens of the higher value.
In Squareland, on the other hand, there are stamps with values of $1$ cent, $4$ cents, $9$ cents, etc. there is exactly one stamp type for each square number. Brands can be found in Squareland can be combined as required without further regulations.
Prove for every positive integer $n$: there are the same number in the two countries possibilities to send a letter with stamps worth a total of $n$ cents. It makes no difference if you have the same stamps on arrange a letter differently.
