On the table, there're $1000$ cards arranged on a circle. On each card, a positive integer was written so that all $1000$ numbers are distinct. First, Vasya selects one of the card, remove it from the circle, and do the following operation: If on the last card taken out was written positive integer $k$, count the $k^{th}$ clockwise card not removed, from that position, then remove it and repeat the operation. This continues until only one card left on the table. Is it possible that, initially, there's a card $A$ such that, no matter what other card Vasya selects as first card, the one that left is always card $A$?

Solve the equation $x^2- 10[x] + 9 = 0$.
($[x]$ is the integer part of $x$, $[x]$ is equal to the largest integer not exceeding $x$. For example, $[3,33] = 3$, $[2] = 2$, $[- 3.01] = -4$).

Let $E$ be the set of $1983^3$ points of the space $\mathbb R^3$ all three of whose coordinates are integers between $0$ and $1982$ (including $0$ and $1982$). A coloring of $E$ is a map from $E$ to the set {red, blue}. How many colorings of $E$ are there satisfying the following property: The number of red vertices among the $8$ vertices of any right-angled parallelepiped is a multiple of $4$ ?

A circular game board is divided into $n \ge 3$ sectors. Each sector is either empty or occupied by a marker. In each step one chooses an occupied sector, removes its marker and then switches each of the two adjacent sectors from occupied to empty or vice-versa. Starting with a single occupied sector, for which $n$ is it possible to end up with all empty sectors after finitely many steps?

One Martian, one Venusian, and one Human reside on Pluton. One day they make the following conversation:
[b]Martian [/b]: I have spent $1/12$ of my life on Pluton.
[b]Human [/b]: I also have.
[b]Venusian [/b]: Me too.
[b]Martian [/b]: But Venusian and I have spend much more time here than you, Human.
[b]Human [/b]: That is true. However, Venusian and I are of the same age.
[b]Venusian [/b]: Yes, I have lived $300$ Earth years.
[b]Martian [/b]: Venusian and I have been on Pluton for the past $13$ years.
It is known that Human and Martian together have lived $104$ Earth years. Find the ages of Martian, Venusian, and Human.*

Joy has $30$ thin rods, one each of every integer length from $1$ cm through $30$ cm. She places the rods with lengths $3$ cm, $7$ cm, and $15$ cm on a table. She then wants to choose a fourth rod that she can put with these three to form a quadrilateral with positive area. How many of the remaining rods can she choose as the fourth rod?

For every $3$-digit natural number $n$ (leading digit of $n$ is nonzero), we consider the number $n_0$ obtained from $n$ eliminating all possible digits that are zero. For example, if $n = 207$, then $n_0 = 27$. Determine the number of three-digit positive integers $n$, for which $n_0$ is a divisor of $n$ different from $n$.

Dima has red and blue felt—tip pens, with one of them he paints rational points on the numerical axis, and with the other - irrational ones. Dima colored $100$ rational and $100$ irrational points, after which he erased the signatures that allowed to find out where the origin was and what the scale was. Sergey has a compass with which he can measure the distance between any two colored points $A$ and $B$, and then mark on the axis a point located at a measured distance from any colored point $C$ (left or right); at the same time, Dima immediately paints it with the appropriate felt-tip pen. How Sergei can find out what color Dima paints rational points and what color he paints irrational ones?
