A [i]checkerboard[/i] is a rectangular grid of cells colored black and white such that the top-left corner is black and no two cells of the same color share an edge. Two checkerboards are [i]distinct[/i] if and only if they have a different number of rows or columns. For example, a $20 \times 25$ checkerboard and a $25 \times 20$ checkerboard are considered distinct.
Compute the number of distinct checkerboards that have exactly $41$ distinct black cells.

In a triangle $ABC$, the excircle $\omega_a$ opposite $A$ touches $AB$ at $P$ and $AC$ at $Q$, while the excircle $\omega_b$ opposite $B$ touches $BA$ at $M$ and $BC$ at $N$. Let $K$ be the projection of $C$ onto $MN$ and let $L$ be the projection of $C$ onto $PQ$. Show that the quadrilateral $MKLP$ is cyclic.

There are $n$ lamps $L_1, L_2, \dots, L_n$ arranged in a circle in that order. At any given time, each lamp is either [i]on[/i] or [i]off[/i]. Every second, each lamp undergoes a change according to the following rule:
(a) For each lamp $L_i$, if $L_{i-1}, L_i, L_{i+1}$ have the same state in the previous second, then $L_i$ is [i]off[/i] right now. (Indices taken mod $n$.)
(b) Otherwise, $L_i$ is [i]on[/i] right now.
Initially, all the lamps are [i]off[/i], except for $L_1$ which is [i]on[/i]. Prove that for infinitely many integers $n$ all the lamps will be [i]off[/i] eventually, after a finite amount of time.

Bob and Cob are playing a game on an infinite grid of hexagons. On Bob's turn, he chooses one hexagon that has not yet been chosen, and draws a segment from the center of the hexagon to the midpoints of three of its sides. On Cob's turn, he erases one of Bob's edges made on the previous turn. Bob wins if his edges form a closed loop. Can Bob guarantee to win in a finite amount of time? (Note that Bob may win before Cob can play his next turn.)

$k$ is a perfect square;
$m$ divides $k$;
the decimal expression of $k$ contains at least $2021$ '0' digits, but the last digit of $k$ is not equal to $0$.
Find all positive integers that are zero takers.
