The first of an infinite triangular spreadsheet the line contains one number, the second line contains two numbers, the third line contains three numbers, and so on. In doing so is in any $k$-th row ($k = 1, 2, 3,...$) in the first and last place the number $k$, each other the number in the table is found, however, than in the previous row the least common of the two numbers above it multiple (the adjacent figure shows the first five rows of this table).
We choose any two numbers from the table that are not in their row in the first or last place. Prove that one of the selected numbers is divisible by another.

Somebody wrote $1953$ digits on a circle. The $1953$-digit number obtained by reading these figures clockwise, beginning at a certain point, is divisible by $27$. Prove that if one begins reading the figures at any other place, one gets another $1953$-digit number also divisible by $27$.

A positive integer $n$ is "[i]olympic[/i]" if there are $n$ non-negative integers $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ that satisfy that:
$\bullet$ There is at least one positive integer $j$: $1 \le j \le n$ such that $x_j \ne 0$.
$\bullet$ For any way of choosing $n$ numbers $c_1, c_2, ..., c_n$ from the set $\{-1, 0, 1\}$, where not all $c_i$ are equal to zero, it is true that the sum $c_1x_1 + c_2x_2 +... + c_nx_n$ is not divisible by $n^3$.

Thomas and Nils are playing a game. They have a number of cards, numbered $1, 2, 3$, et cetera.
At the start, all cards are lying face up on the table. They take alternate turns. The person whose turn it is, chooses a card that is still lying on the table and decides to either keep the card himself or to give it to the other player. When all cards are gone, each of them calculates the sum of the numbers on his own cards. If the difference between these two outcomes is divisible by $3$, then Thomas wins. If not, then Nils wins.
(a) Suppose they are playing with $2018$ cards (numbered from $1$ to $2018$) and that Thomas starts. Prove that Nils can play in such a way that he will win the game with certainty.
(b) Suppose they are playing with $2020 $cards (numbered from $1$ to $2020$) and that Nils starts. Which of the two players can play in such a way that he wins with certainty?
