[b]p3.[/b] Students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were split into pairs consisting of one student from each house. The pairs of students were sent to Honeydukes to get candy for Father's Day. For each pair of students, either the Hufflepuff student brought back twice as many pieces of candy as the Ravenclaw student or the Ravenclaw student brought back twice as many pieces of candy as the Hufflepuff student. When they returned, Professor Trelawney determined that the students had brought back a total of $1000$ pieces of candy. Could she have possibly been right? Why or why not? Assume that candy only comes in whole pieces (cannot be divided into parts). [b]p4.[/b] While you are on a hike across Deception Pass, you encounter an evil troll, who will not let you across the bridge until you solve the following puzzle. There are six stones, two colored red, two colored yellow, and two colored green. Aside from their colors, all six stones look and feel exactly the same. Unfortunately, in each colored pair, one stone is slightly heavier than the other. Each of the lighter stones has the same weight, and each of the heavier stones has the same weight. Using a balance scale to make TWO measurements, decide which stone of each color is the lighter one. [b]p5.[/b] Alex, Bob and Chad are playing a table tennis tournament. During each game, two boys are playing each other and one is resting. In the next game the boy who lost a game goes to rest, and the boy who was resting plays the winner. By the end of tournament, Alex played a total of $10$ games, Bob played $15$ games, and Chad played $17$ games. Who lost the second game?

Show that all of these points can be covered by a triangle whose area is less than $4$. [b]p7.[/b] A palindrome is a number that is the same when read forward and backward. For example, $1771$ and $23903030932$ are palindromes. Can the number obtained by writing the numbers from $1$ to $n$ in order be a palindrome for some $n > 1$ ? (For example, if $n = 11$, the number obtained is $1234567891011$, which is not a palindrome.) PS. You should use hide for answers.

[u]Round 1[/u] [b]p1.[/b] Nineteen witches, all of different heights, stand in a circle around a campfire. Each witch says whether she is taller than both of her neighbors, shorter than both, or in-between. Exactly three said “I am taller.” How many said “I am in-between”? [b]p2.[/b] Alex is writing a sequence of $A$’s and $B$’s on a chalkboard. Any $20$ consecutive letters must have an equal number of $A$’s and $B$’s, but any 22 consecutive letters must have a different number of $A$’s and $B$’s. What is the length of the longest sequence Alex can write?. [b]p3.[/b] A police officer patrols a town whose map is shown.

The picture shows all the moves a zebra can make from its given position. Is it possible for a zebra to make a sequence of $64$ moves on an $8\times 8$ chessboard so that it visits each square exactly once and returns to its starting position?

In each round, Bob picks a row or column, and Ann sorts it from lowest to highest (left-to-right for rows; top-to-bottom for columns). However, Bob never sees the grid and gets no information from Ann. After eleven rounds, Bob must name a single cell that is guaranteed to contain a number that is at least $30$ and no more than $71$. Can he find a strategy to do this, no matter how Ann originally arranged the numbers? [u]Round 2[/u] [b]p6.[/b] Evelyn and Odette are playing a game with a deck of $101$ cards numbered $1$ through $101$. At the start of the game the deck is split, with Evelyn taking all the even cards and Odette taking all the odd cards. Each shuffles her cards. On every move, each player takes the top card from her deck and places it on a table. The player whose number is higher takes both cards from the table and adds them to the bottom of her deck, first the opponent’s card, then her own. The first player to run out of cards loses. Card $101$ was played against card $2$ on the $10$th move. Prove that this game will never end.

It will land on five adjacent buildings within a $10 \times 10$ grid, crushing any teacups on roofs of buildings within a $5 \times 1$ length of blocks (vertically or horizontally). As Commander of the Space Force, you can place any number of teacups on rooftops in advance. When the ship lands, you will hear how many teacups the spaceship breaks, but not where they were. (In the figure, you would hear $4$ cups break.) What is the smallest number of teacups you need to place to ensure you can identify at least one building the spaceship landed on?
