Let $m$ be a positive integer. A tangent line at the point $P$ on the parabola $C_1 : y=x^2+m^2$ intersects with the parabola $C_2 : y=x^2$ at the points $A,\ B$. For the point $Q$ between $A$ and $B$ on $C_2$, denote by $S$ the sum of the areas of the region bounded by the line $AQ$,$C_2$ and the region bounded by the line $QB$, $C_2$. When $Q$ move between $A$ and $B$ on $C_2$, prove that the minimum value of $S$ doesn't depend on how we would take $P$, then find the value in terms of $m$.

$A$ and $B$ play a game, given an integer $N$, $A$ writes down $1$ first, then every player sees the last number written and if it is $n$ then in his turn he writes $n+1$ or $2n$, but his number cannot be bigger than $N$. The player who writes $N$ wins. For which values of $N$ does $B$ win? [i]Proposed by A. Slinko & S. Marshall, New Zealand[/i]

Let $\alpha\leq 22$ be non-negative integer. For which $\alpha$ does the equation $$8x^{23}-5^{\alpha}y^{23}=1$$ have the most integer solutions (x,y)? What can we say about $\alpha\geq 23$? [hide=Note]I believe the eqn has solutions only when $\alpha=0$. taking modulo 47, $\alpha\equiv 9,17\pmod{23}$ or ($23|\alpha$ and $47|x$). taking modulo 139 and 277 eliminates the $\alpha\equiv 9,17\pmod{23}$ cases. 139=23*6+1 , 277=23*12+1[/hide]

Alka finds a number $n$ written on a board that ends in $5.$ She performs a sequence of operations with the number on the board. At each step, she decides to carry out one of the following two operations: $1.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write it´s cube $m^3$. $2.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write the product $2023m$. Alka performs each operation an even number of times in some order and at least once, she finally obtains the number $r$. If the tens digit of $r$ is an odd number, find all possible values that the tens digit of $n^3$ could have had.

Every cell in a $5\times5$ grid of paper is to be painted either red or white with equal probability. An edge of the paper is said to have a "tree" if the set of cells depicted in the diagram below are all painted red when the paper is rotated so that the edge lies at the bottom. Given that at least one edge of the paper has a tree, what is the expected number of edges that have a tree?

Peter and Basil take turns drawing roads on a plane, Peter starts. The road is either horizontal or a vertical line along which one can drive in only one direction (that direction is determined when the road is drawn). Can Basil always act in such a way that after each of his moves one could drive according to the rules between any two constructed crossroads, regardless of Peter's actions? Alexandr Perepechko

Let F(x) be a known distribution function, the random variables $\eta_1 , \eta_2 ...$ be independent of the common distribution function $F( x - \vartheta)$, where $\vartheta$ is the shift parameter. Let us call the shift parameter "well estimated" if there exists a positive constant c, so that any of $\varepsilon> 0$ there exist a Lebesgue measure $\varepsilon$ Borel set E ("confidence set") and a Borel-measurable function $t_n( x_1 ,. .., x_n )$ ( n = 1,2, ...) such that for any $\vartheta$ we have $$P ( \vartheta- t_n ( \eta_1 , ..., \eta_n ) \in E )> 1-e^{-cn} \qquad( n > n_0 ( \varepsilon, F ) )$$ Prove that a) if F is not absolutely continuous, then the shift parameter is "well estimated", b) if F is absolutely continuous and F' is continuous, then it is not "well estimated".
