The International Mathematical Olympiad is being organized in Japan, where a folklore belief is that the number $4$ brings bad luck. The opening ceremony takes place at the Grand Theatre where each row has the capacity of $55$ seats. What is the maximum number of contestants that can be seated in a single row with the restriction that no two of them are $4$ seats apart (so that bad luck during the competition is avoided)?

The following operation is performed over points $O_1, O_2, O_3$ and $A$ in space. The point $A$ is reflected with respect to $O_1$, the resultant point $A_1$ is reflected through $O_2$, and the resultant point $A_2$ through $O_3$. We get some point $A_3$ that we will also consecutively reflect through $O_1, O_2, O_3$. Prove that the point obtained last coincides with $A$..

Determine all integers $n \geq 3$ for which there exists a con guration of $n$ points in the plane, no three collinear, that can be labelled $1$ through $n$ in two different ways, so that the following
condition be satis fied: For every triple $(i,j,k), 1 \leq i < j < k \leq n$, the triangle $ijk$ in one labelling has the same orientation as the triangle labelled $ijk$ in the other, except for $(i,j,k) = (1,2,3)$.

A sequence of integers $a_0,\ a_1,\dots a_n \dots $ is defined by the following rules: $a_0=0,\ a_1=1,\ a_{n+1} > a_n$ for each $n\in \mathbb{N}$, and $a_{n+1}$ is the minimum number such that no three numbers among $a_0,\ a_1,\dots a_{n+1}$ form an arithmetical progression. Prove that $a_{2^n}=3^n$ for each $n \in \mathbb{N}.$

Suppose all the pairs of a positive integers from a finite collection \[A=\{a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots \}\] are added together to form a new collection \[A^{*}=\{a_{i}+a_{j}\;\; \vert \; 1 \le i < j \le n \}.\] For example, $A=\{ 2, 3, 4, 7 \}$ would yield $A^{*}=\{ 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 \}$ and $B=\{ 1, 4, 5, 6 \}$ would give $B^{*}=\{ 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 \}$. These examples show that it's possible for different collections $A$ and $B$ to generate the same collections $A^{*}$ and $B^{*}$. Show that if $A^{*}=B^{*}$ for different sets $A$ and $B$, then $|A|=|B|$ and $|A|=|B|$ must be a power of $2$.

The number $2024$ is written on a blackboard. Each second, if there exist positive integers $a,b,k$ such that $a^k+b^k$ is written on the blackboard, you may write $a^{k'}+b^{k'}$ on the blackboard for any positive integer $k'.$ Find all positive integers that you can eventually write on the blackboard.

After each move, the value $P$ is calculated - the total perimeter of all small rectangles that are formed (i.e., those inside which no other segment passes). The winner is the one after whose move $P$ is divisible by $2021$ for the first time. Who has a winning strategy?

[b]Randy:[/b] "Hi Rachel, that's an interesting quadratic equation you have written down. What are its roots?''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "The roots are two positive integers. One of the roots is my age, and the other root is the age of my younger brother, Jimmy.''
[b]Randy:[/b] "That is very neat! Let me see if I can figure out how old you and Jimmy are. That shouldn't be too difficult since all of your coefficients are integers. By the way, I notice that the sum of the three coefficients is a prime number.''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "Interesting. Now figure out how old I am.''
[b]Randy:[/b] "Instead, I will guess your age and substitute it for $x$ in your quadratic equation $\dots$ darn, that gives me $-55$, and not $0$.''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "Oh, leave me alone!''
(1) Prove that Jimmy is two years old.
(2) Determine Rachel's age.

Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC$ with $AB>AC$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle with diameter $AI$. The circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ intersects $\Gamma$ at points $A,D$, with point $D$ lying on $\overarc{AC}$ (not containing $B$). Let the line passing through $A$ and parallel to $BC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at points $A,E$. If $DI$ is the angle bisector of $\angle CDE$, and $\angle ABC = 33^{\circ}$, find the value of $\angle BAC$.
