Let $O$ be a point of three-dimensional space and let $l_1, l_2, l_3$ be mutually perpendicular straight lines passing through $O$. Let $S$ denote the sphere with center $O$ and radius $R$, and for every point $M$ of $S$, let $S_M$ denote the sphere with center $M$ and radius $R$. We denote by $P_1, P_2, P_3$ the intersection of $S_M$ with the straight lines $l_1, l_2, l_3$, respectively, where we put $P_i \neq O$ if $l_i$ meets $S_M$ at two distinct points and $P_i = O$ otherwise ($i = 1, 2, 3$). What is the set of centers of gravity of the (possibly degenerate) triangles $P_1P_2P_3$ as $M$ runs through the points of $S$?

We have $ n \geq 2$ lamps $ L_{1}, . . . ,L_{n}$ in a row, each of them being either on or off. Every second we simultaneously modify the state of each lamp as follows: if the lamp $ L_{i}$ and its neighbours (only one neighbour for $ i \equal{} 1$ or $ i \equal{} n$, two neighbours for other $ i$) are in the same state, then $ L_{i}$ is switched off; – otherwise, $ L_{i}$ is switched on. Initially all the lamps are off except the leftmost one which is on. $ (a)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which all the lamps will eventually be off. $ (b)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which the lamps will never be all off.

We have three circles $w_1$, $w_2$ and $\Gamma$ at the same side of line $l$ such that $w_1$ and $w_2$ are tangent to $l$ at $K$ and $L$ and to $\Gamma$ at $M$ and $N$, respectively. We know that $w_1$ and $w_2$ do not intersect and they are not in the same size. A circle passing through $K$ and $L$ intersect $\Gamma$ at $A$ and $B$. Let $R$ and $S$ be the reflections of $M$ and $N$ with respect to $l$. Prove that $A, B, R, S$ are concyclic.

Two people, $A$ and $B$, play the following game with a deck of 32 cards. With $A$ starting, and thereafter the players alternating, each player takes either 1 card or a prime number of cards. Eventually all of the cards are chosen, and the person who has none to pick up is the loser. Who will win the game if they both follow optimal strategy?

A grasshopper rests on the point $(1,1)$ on the plane. Denote by $O,$ the origin of coordinates. From that point, it jumps to a certain lattice point under the condition that, if it jumps from a point $A$ to $B,$ then the area of $\triangle AOB$ is equal to $\frac 12.$ $(a)$ Find all the positive integral poijnts $(m,n)$ which can be covered by the grasshopper after a finite number of steps, starting from $(1,1).$ $(b)$ If a point $(m,n)$ satisfies the above condition, then show that there exists a certain path for the grasshopper to reach $(m,n)$ from $(1,1)$ such that the number of jumps does not exceed $|m-n|.$
