A game is played with 16 cards laid out in a row. Each card has a black side and a red side, and initially the face-up sides of the cards alternate black and red with the leftmost card black-side-up. A move consists of taking a consecutive sequence of cards (possibly only containing 1 card) with leftmost card black-side-up and the rest of the cards red-side-up, and flipping all of these cards over. The game ends when a move can no longer be made. What is the maximum possible number of moves that can be made before the game ends?

For all positive integer n, we define $ a_n=1+a+a^2+\ldots+a^{n-1}. $ Let $s,t$ be two different positive integers with the following property: If $p$ is prime divisor of $s-t$, then $p$ divides $a-1$. Prove that number $\frac{a_{s}-a_{t}}{s-t}$ is an integer. (FYROM)

Let $p,\ q$ be positive integers. Consider integrs $a,\ b,\ c$ satisfying conditions: \[-q\leq b\leq 0\leq a\leq p,\ \ b\leq c\leq a\] Call such $a,\ b,\ c$ in arranging in the form of $[a,\ b\ ;\ c]$ as $(p,\ q)$ pattern. For each $(p,\ q)$ pattern $[a,\ b\ ;\ c]$, let $w([a,\ b\ ;\ c])=p-q-(a+b)$. (1) Find the number of $(p,\ q)$ pattern such that $w([a,\ b\ ;\ c])=-q$, then find the number of $(p,\ q)$ pattern such that $w([a,\ b\ ;\ c])=p$. From now on, we consider the case of $p=q$. (2) Let $s$ be integer. Find the number of $(p,\ p)$ pattern such that $w([a,\ b\ ;\ c])=-p+s$. (3) Find the total number of $(p,\ p)$ pattern.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with side lengths $AB = 2011$, $BC = 2012$, $AC = 2013$. Create squares $S_1 =ABB'A''$, $S_2 = ACC''A'$ , and $S_3 = CBB''C'$ using the sides $AB$, $AC$, $BC$ respectively, so that the side $B'A''$ is on the opposite side of $AB$ from $C$, and so forth. Let square $S_4$ have side length $A''A' $, square $S_5$ have side length $C''C'$, and square $S_6$ have side length $B''B'$. Let $A(S_i)$ be the area of square $S_i$ . Compute $\frac{A(S_4)+A(S_5)+A(S_6)}{A(S_1)+A(S_2)+A(S_3)}$?

We are given an acute triangle $ABC$. Let $(w,I)$ be the inscribed circle of $ABC$, $(\Omega,O)$ be the circumscribed circle of $ABC$, and $A_0$ be the midpoint of altitude $AH$. $w$ touches $BC$ at point $D$. $A_0 D$ and $w$ intersect at point $P$, and the perpendicular from $I$ to $A_0 D$ intersects $BC$ at the point $M$. $MR$ and $MS$ lines touch $\Omega$ at $R$ and $S$ respectively [note: I am not entirely sure of what is meant by this, but I am pretty sure it means draw the tangents to $\Omega$ from $M$]. Prove that the points $R,P,D,S$ are concyclic. (proposed by E. Enkzaya, inspired by Vietnamese olympiad problem)

There are three stacks of tokens on the table: the first contains $a,$ the second contains $b,$ and the third contains $c$ where $a \ge b \ge c.$ Players $A$ and $B$ take turns playing a game of swapping tokens. $A$ starts first. On each turn, the player who gets his turn chooses two stacks, then takes at least one token from the stack with the lowest number of tokens and places them on the stack with the highest number of tokens. If the number of tokens in the two piles he/she chooses is equal, then he/she takes at least one token from any of them and puts it in the other. If only one pile remains after a player's move, that player is considered a winner. At what values of $a, b, c$ who has the winning strategy ($A$ or $B$)?
