How many three-digit numbers $\underline{abc}$ have the property that when it is added to $\underline{cba}$, the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is a palindrome? (Note that $\underline{cba}$ is not necessarily a three-digit number since before reversing, $c$ may be equal to $0$.)

Each two-digit is number is coloured in one of $k$ colours. What is the minimum value of $k$ such that, regardless of the colouring, there are three numbers $a$, $b$ and $c$ with different colours with $a$ and $b$ having the same units digit (second digit) and $b$ and $c$ having the same tens digit (first digit)?

Let $ \alpha(n)$ be the number of digits equal to one in the binary representation of a positive integer $ n.$ Prove that: (a) the inequality $ \alpha(n) (n^2 ) \leq \frac{1}{2} \alpha(n)(\alpha(n) + 1)$ holds; (b) the above inequality is an equality for infinitely many positive integers, and (c) there exists a sequence $ (n_i )^{\infty}_1$ such that $ \frac{\alpha ( n^2_i )}{\alpha (n_i }$ goes to zero as $ i$ goes to $ \infty.$ [i]Alternative problem:[/i] Prove that there exists a sequence a sequence $ (n_i )^{\infty}_1$ such that $ \frac{\alpha ( n^2_i )}{\alpha (n_i )}$ (d) $ \infty;$ (e) an arbitrary real number $ \gamma \in (0,1)$; (f) an arbitrary real number $ \gamma \geq 0$; as $ i$ goes to $ \infty.$

A [i]palindrome [/i] is a natural number that works in the decimal system forwards and backwards read is the same size (e.g. $1129211$ or $7337$). Determine all pairs $(m, n)$ of natural numbers, such that $$(\underbrace{11... 11}_{m}) \cdot (\underbrace{11... 11}_{n})$$ is a palindrome.

Initially, a positive integer $N$ is written on a blackboard. We repeatedly replace the number according to the following rules: 1) replace the number by a positive multiple of itself 2) replace the number by a number with the same digits in a different order. (The new number is allowed to have leading digits, which are then deleted.) [i]A possible sequence of moves is given by $5 \to 20 \to 140 \to 041=41$.[/i] Determine for which values of $N$ it is possible to obtain $1$ after a finite number of such moves.

A finite sequence of decimal digits from $\{0,1,\cdots, 9\}$ is said to be [i]common[/i] if for each sufficiently large positive integer $n$, there exists a positive integer $m$ such that the expansion of $n$ in base $m$ ends with this sequence of digits. For example, $0$ is common because for any large $n$, the expansion of $n$ in base $n$ is $10$, whereas $00$ is not common because for any squarefree $n$, the expansion of $n$ in any base cannot end with $00$. Determine all common sequences. [i]Proposed by Wong Jer Ren[/i]

Alberto wants to invite Ximena to his house. Since Alberto knows that Ximena is amateur to mathematics, instead of pointing out exactly which Transantiago buses serve him, he tells him: [i]the numbers of the buses that take me to my house have three digits, where the leftmost digit is not null, furthermore, these numbers are multiples of $13$, and the second digit of them is the average of the other two.[/i] What are the bus lines that go to Alberto's house?
