A tournament is held among $n$ teams, following such rules:
a) every team plays all others once at home and once away.(i.e. double round-robin schedule)
b) each team may participate in several away games in a week(from Sunday to Saturday).
c) there is no away game arrangement for a team, if it has a home game in the same week.
If the tournament finishes in 4 weeks, determine the maximum value of $n$.

Two sequences $(x_n)_{n\in N}$ and $(y_n)_{n\in N}$ are defined recursively as follows:

$y_0 = 307$ and $y_{n+1} = y_n + 1$ for all $n \ge 0$.

Let $r$ and $b$ be positive integers. The game of [i]Monis[/i], a variant of Tetris, consists of a single column of red and blue blocks. If two blocks of the same color ever touch each other, they both vanish immediately. A red block falls onto the top of the column exactly once every $r$ years, while a blue block falls exactly once every $b$ years.
(a) Suppose that $r$ and $b$ are odd, and moreover the cycles are offset in such a way that no two blocks ever fall at exactly the same time. Consider a period of $rb$ years in which the column is initially empty. Determine, in terms of $r$ and $b$, the number of blocks in the column at the end.
(b) Now suppose $r$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $r+b$ is odd. At time $t=0$, the column is initially empty. Suppose a red block falls at times $t = r, 2r, \dots, (b-1)r$ years, while a blue block falls at times $t = b, 2b, \dots, (r-1)b$ years. Prove that at time $t=rb$, the number of blocks in the column is $\left\lvert 1+2(r-1)(b+r)-8S \right\rvert$, where \[ S = \left\lfloor \frac{2r}{r+b} \right\rfloor
+ \left\lfloor \frac{4r}{r+b} \right\rfloor
+ ...
+ \left\lfloor \frac{(r+b-1)r}{r+b} \right\rfloor
. \]

At ARML, Santa is asked to give rubber duckies to $2013$ students, one for each student. The students are conveniently numbered $1,2,\cdots,2013$, and for any integers $1 \le m < n \le 2013$, students $m$ and $n$ are friends if and only if $0 \le n-2m \le 1$.
Santa has only four different colors of duckies, but because he wants each student to feel special, he decides to give duckies of different colors to any two students who are either friends or who share a common friend. Let $N$ denote the number of ways in which he can select a color for each student. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

There are $ 2009$ pebbles in some points $ (x,y)$ with both coordinates integer. A operation consists in choosing a point $ (a,b)$ with four or more pebbles, removing four pebbles from $ (a,b)$ and putting one pebble in each of the points
\[ (a,b\minus{}1),\ (a,b\plus{}1),\ (a\minus{}1,b),\ (a\plus{}1,b)\]
Show that after a finite number of operations each point will necessarily have at most three pebbles. Prove that the final configuration doesn't depend on the order of the operations.
