In a country, there are some two-way roads between the cities. There are $2010$ roads connected to the capital city. For all cities different from the capital city, there are less than $2010$ roads connected to that city. For two cities, if there are the same number of roads connected to these cities, then this number is even. $k$ roads connected to the capital city will be deleted. It is wanted that whatever the road network is, if we can reach from one city to another at the beginning, then we can reach after the deleting process also. Find the maximum value of $k.$

Prove that the sequence $(a_n)$, where
$$a_n=\sum_{k=1}^n\left\{\frac{\left\lfloor2^{k-\frac12}\right\rfloor}2\right\}2^{1-k},$$converges, and determine its limit as $n\to\infty$.
Find all ordered triples $(a,b,c)$ of positive reals that satisfy: $\lfloor a\rfloor bc=3,a\lfloor b\rfloor c=4$, and $ab\lfloor c\rfloor=5$, where $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$.
Let $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{31}$ be real numbers. Then find the maximum value can
$$\sum_{i,j=1,2,\dots,31, \; i\neq j}{\lceil x_ix_j \rceil }-30\left(\sum_{i=1,2,\dots,31}{\lfloor x_i^2 \rfloor } \right)$$
achieve.
P.S.: For a real number $x$ we denote the smallest integer that does not subseed $x$ by $\lceil x \rceil$ and the biggest integer that does not exceed $x$ by $\lfloor x \rfloor$. For example $\lceil 2.7 \rceil=3$, $\lfloor 2.7 \rfloor=2$ and $\lfloor 4 \rfloor=\lceil 4 \rceil=4$

Fix a positive integer $n\geq 2$. What is the lest value that the expression $$\bigg\lfloor\frac{x_2+x_3+\dots +x_n}{x_1}\bigg\rfloor + \bigg\lfloor\frac{x_1+x_3+\dots +x_n}{x_2}\bigg\rfloor +\dots +\bigg\lfloor\frac{x_1+x_2+\dots +x_{n-1}}{x_n}\bigg\rfloor$$ may achieve, where $x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_n$ are positive real numbers.
Let $p$ be a prime number and let $s$ be an integer with $0 < s < p.$ Prove that there exist integers $m$ and $n$ with $0 < m < n < p$ and

if and only if $s$ is not a divisor of $p-1$.
Note: For $x$ a real number, let $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$, and let $\{x\} = x - \lfloor x \rfloor$ denote the fractional part of x.
Prove that the expression \[\frac{\gcd(m, n)}{n}{n \choose m}\] is an integer for all pairs of positive integers $(m, n)$ with $n \ge m \ge 1$.

A drawer contains a mixture of red socks and blue socks, at most 1991 in all. It so happens that, when two socks are selected randomly without replacement, there is a probability of exactly $1/2$ that both are red or both are blue. What is the largest possible number of red socks in the drawer that is consistent with this data?
Let $f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 1$. There is a unique line of the form $y = mx + b$ such that $m > 0$ and this line intersects $f(x)$ at three points, $A, B, C$ such that $AB = BC = 2$. Find $\lfloor 100m \rfloor$.
Let $p,n$ be positive integers, such that $p$ is prime and $p <n$.
If $p$ divides $n + 1$ and $ \left(\left[\frac{n}{p}\right], (p-1)!\right) = 1$, then prove that $p\cdot \left[\frac{n}{p}\right]^2$ divides ${n \choose p} -\left[\frac{n}{p}\right]$ .
(Here $[x]$ represents the integer part of the real number $x$.)
A finite collection of digits $0$ and $1$ is written around a circle. An [i]arc[/i] of length $L\ge 0$ consists of $L$ consecutive digits around the circle. For each arc $w,$ let $Z(w)$ and $N(w)$ denote the number of $0$'s in $w$ and the number of $1$'s in $w,$ respectively. Assume that $|Z(w)-Z(w')|\le 1$ for any two arcs $w,w'$ of the same length. Suppose that some arcs $w_1,\dots,w_k$ have the property that \[Z=\frac1k\sum_{j=1}^kZ(w_j)\text{ and }N=\frac1k\sum_{j=1}^k N(w_j)\] are both integers. Prove that there exists an arc $w$ with $Z(w)=Z$ and $N(w)=N.$

For every integer $n > 1$, the sequence $\left( {{S}_{n}} \right)$ is defined by ${{S}_{n}}=\left\lfloor {{2}^{n}}\underbrace{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+...+\sqrt{2}}}}_{n\ radicals} \right\rfloor $
where $\left\lfloor x \right\rfloor$ denotes the floor function of $x$. Prove that ${{S}_{2001}}=2\,{{S}_{2000}}+1$.

All segments joining $n$ points (no three of which are collinear) are coloured in one of $k$ colours. What is the smallest $k$ for which there always exists a closed polygonal line with the vertices at some of the $n$ points, whose sides are all of the same colour?
A computer screen shows a $98 \times 98$ chessboard, colored in the usual way. One can select with a mouse any rectangle with sides on the lines of the chessboard and click the mouse button: as a result, the colors in the selected rectangle switch (black becomes white, white becomes black). Find, with proof, the minimum number of mouse clicks needed to make the chessboard all one color.
For $m$ a positive integer, let $s(m)$ be the sum of the digits of $m$. For $n\ge 2$, let $f(n)$ be the minimal $k$ for which there exists a set $S$ of $n$ positive integers such that $s\left(\sum_{x\in X} x\right)=k$ for any nonempty subset $X\subset S$. Prove that there are constants $0<C_1<C_2$ with
\[C_1 \log_{10} n \le f(n) \le C_2 \log_{10} n.\]

In an island, there exist 7 towns and a railway system which connected some of the towns. Every railway segment connects 2 towns, and in every town there exists at least 3 railway segments that connects the town to another towns. Prove that there exists a route that visits 4 different towns once and go back to the original town. (Example: $ A\minus{}B\minus{}C\minus{}D\minus{}A$)
Let $H = \{ \lfloor i\sqrt{2}\rfloor : i \in \mathbb Z_{>0}\} = \{1,2,4,5,7,\dots \}$ and let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exists a constant $C$ such that, if $A\subseteq \{1,2,\dots, n\}$ satisfies $|A| \ge C\sqrt{n}$, then there exist $a,b\in A$ such that $a-b\in H$. (Here $\mathbb Z_{>0}$ is the set of positive integers, and $\lfloor z\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $z$.)
