Let $a, b$ and $c$ be real numbers such that
$$\lceil a \rceil + \lceil b \rceil + \lceil c \rceil + \lfloor a + b \rfloor + \lfloor b + c \rfloor + \lfloor c + a \rfloor = 2020$$
Prove that
$$\lfloor a \rfloor + \lfloor b \rfloor + \lfloor c \rfloor + \lceil a + b + c \rceil \ge 1346$$
Note: $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$, and $\lceil x \rceil$ is the smallest integer greater than or equal to $x$. That is, $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the unique integer satisfying $\lfloor x \rfloor \le x < \lfloor x \rfloor + 1$, and $\lceil x \rceil$ is the unique integer satisfying $\lceil x \rceil - 1 < x \le \lceil x \rceil$.

A $ 3 \times n$ grid is filled as follows. The first row consists of the numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ arranged in ascending order. The second row is a cyclic shift of the top row: $ i,i\plus{}1,...,n,1,2,...,i\minus{}1$ for some $ i$. The third row has the numbers $ 1$ to $ n$ in some order so that in each of the $ n$ columns, the sum of the three numbers is the same. For which values of $ n$ is it possible to fill the grid in this way? For all such $ n$, determine the number of different ways of filling the grid.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Let $P_n=\{2^n,2^{n-1}\cdot 3, 2^{n-2}\cdot 3^2, \dots, 3^n \}.$ For each subset $X$ of $P_n$, we write $S_X$ for the sum of all elements of $X$, with the convention that $S_{\emptyset}=0$ where $\emptyset$ is the empty set. Suppose that $y$ is a real number with $0 \leq y \leq 3^{n+1}-2^{n+1}.$
Prove that there is a subset $Y$ of $P_n$ such that $0 \leq y-S_Y < 2^n$

We define an operation $\oplus$ on the set $\{0, 1\}$ by

For two natural numbers $a$ and $b$, which are written in base $2$ as $a = (a_1a_2 \ldots a_k)_2$ and $b = (b_1b_2 \ldots b_k)_2$ (possibly with leading 0's), we define $a \oplus b = c$ where $c$ written in base $2$ is $(c_1c_2 \ldots c_k)_2$ with $c_i = a_i \oplus b_i$, for $1 \le i \le k$. For example, we have $7 \oplus 3 = 4$ since $ 7 = (111)_2$ and $3 = (011)_2$.
For a natural number $n$, let $f(n) = n \oplus \left[ n/2 \right]$, where $\left[ x \right]$ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to $x$. Prove that $f$ is a bijection on the set of natural numbers.
