To [i]dissect [/i] a polygon means to divide it into several regions by cutting along finitely many line segments. For example, the diagram below shows a dissection of a hexagon into two triangles and two quadrilaterals:

An [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle is a right triangle whose side lengths are in an integer ratio. For example, a triangle with sides $3,4,5$ is an[i] integer-ratio[/i] right triangle, and so is a triangle with sides $\frac52 \sqrt3 ,6\sqrt3, \frac{13}{2} \sqrt3$. On the other hand, the right triangle with sides$ \sqrt2 ,\sqrt5, \sqrt7$ is not an [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle. Determine, with proof, all integers $n$ for which it is possible to completely [i]dissect [/i] a regular $n$-sided polygon into [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangles.

Let $AB$ and $CD$ be two perpendicular diameters of a circle with centre $O$. Consider a point $M$ on the diameter $AB$, different from $A$ and $B$. The line $CM$ cuts the circle again at $N$. The tangent at $N$ to the circle and the perpendicular at $M$ to $AM$ intersect at $P$. Show that $OP = CM$.

Let us choose arbitrarily $n$ vertices of a regular $2n$-gon and color them red. The remaining vertices are colored blue. We arrange all red-red distances into a nondecreasing sequence and do the same with the blue-blue distances. Prove that the two sequences thus obtained are identical.

Cédric needs to write down a phrase in French. He knows that there are $3$ words in the phrase and that the letters appear in the order: \[cesontoiseaux.\] He does not remember what the words are and which letters have what accents in the phrase. If $n$ is the number of possible phrases that he could write down, then determine the number of distinct primes in the prime factorization of $n$.

Juan makes a list of $2018$ numbers. The first is $ 1$. Then each number is obtained by adding to the previous number, one of the numbers $ 1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $ 8$ or $9$. Knowing that none of the numbers in the list ends in $0$, what is the largest value you can have the last number on the list?

Let $n$ a positive integer. We call a pair $(\pi ,C)$ composed by a permutation $\pi$$:$ {$1,2,...n$}$\rightarrow${$1,2,...,n$} and a binary function $C:$ {$1,2,...,n$}$\rightarrow${$0,1$} "revengeful" if it satisfies the two following conditions:
$1)$For every $i$ $\in$ {$1,2,...,n$}, there exist $j$ $\in$ $S_{i}=${$i, \pi(i),\pi(\pi(i)),...$} such that $C(j)=1$.
$2)$ If $C(k)=1$, then $k$ is one of the $v_{2}(|S_{k}|)+1$ highest elements of $S_{k}$, where $v_{2}(t)$ is the highest nonnegative integer such that $2^{v_{2}(t)}$ divides $t$, for every positive integer $t$.
Let $V$ the number of revengeful pairs and $P$ the number of partitions of $n$ with all parts powers of $2$.
Determine $\frac{V}{P}$.
