Consider $f_1=1, f_2=1$ and $f_{n+1}=f_n+f_{n-1}$ for $n\geq 2$. Determine if exists $n\leq 1000001$ such that the last three digits of $f_n$ are zero.

Let $F_1, F_2, F_3 \cdots$ be the Fibonacci sequence, the sequence of positive integers satisfying $$F_1 =F_2=1$$ and $$F_{n+2} = F_{n+1} + F_n$$ for all $n \ge 1$. Does there exist an $n \ge 1$ such that $F_n$ is divisible by $2014$? Prove your answer.

Let $\{F_n\}_{n\ge1}$ be the Fibonacci sequence defined by $F_1=F_2=1$ and for all $n\ge3$, $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$. Prove that among the first $10000000000000002$ terms of the sequence there is one term that ends up with $8$ zeroes. [i]Proposed by José Luis Díaz-Barrero[/i]

For a positive integer $a$, define $F_1 ^{(a)}=1$, $F_2 ^{(a)}=a$ and for $n>2$, $F_n ^{(a)}=F_{n-1} ^{(a)}+F_{n-2} ^{(a)}$. A positive integer is [i]fibonatic[/i] when it is equal to $F_n ^{(a)}$ for a positive integer $a$ and $n>3$. Prove that there are infintely many not [i]fibonatic[/i] integers.

Bugs Bunny plays a game in the Euclidean plane. At the $n$-th minute $(n \geq 1)$, Bugs Bunny hops a distance of $F_n$ in the North, South, East, or West direction, where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number (defined by $F_1 = F_2 =1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 3$). If the first two hops were perpendicular, prove that Bugs Bunny can never return to where he started. [i]Proposed by Dylan Toh[/i]

Find all integers $n \geq 3$ such that among any $n$ positive real numbers $a_1, a_2, \hdots, a_n$ with $\text{max}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n) \leq n \cdot \text{min}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n)$, there exist three that are the side lengths of an acute triangle.

The Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ are defined inductively by $F_0=0, F_1=1$, and $F_{n+1}=F_n+F_{n-1}$ for $n \ge 1$. Given an integer $n \ge 2$, determine the smallest size of a set $S$ of integers such that for every $k=2, 3, . . . , n$ there exist some $x, y \in S$ such that $x-y=F_k$. [i]Proposed by Croatia[/i]

Let $\{fn\}$ be the Fibonacci sequence $\{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, \dots.\}. $ (a) Find all pairs $(a, b)$ of real numbers such that for each $n$, $af_n +bf_{n+1}$ is a member of the sequence. (b) Find all pairs $(u, v)$ of positive real numbers such that for each $n$, $uf_n^2 +vf_{n+1}^2$ is a member of the sequence.
