Define a sequence $<x_n>$ by $x_0 = 0$ and $$\large x_n = \left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
x_{n-1} + \frac{3^r-1}{2} & if \,\,n = 3^{r-1}(3k + 1)\\
& \\
x_{n-1} - \frac{3^r+1}{2} & if \,\, n = 3^{r-1}(3k + 2)\\
\end{array}
\right. $$

For every positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ denote the number of sets $\{x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k\}$ of integers with $x_1 > x_2 > \dots > x_k > 0$ and $n = x_1 + x_3 + x_5 + \dots$ (the right hand side here means the sum of all odd-indexed elements). As an example, $p(6) = 11$ because all satisfying sets are as follows: $$\{6\}, \{6, 5\}, \{6, 4\}, \{6, 3\}, \{6, 2\}, \{6, 1\}, \{5, 4, 1\}, \{5, 3, 1\}, \{5, 2, 1\}, \{4, 3, 2\}, \{4, 3, 2, 1\}.$$ Show that $p(n)$ equals to the number of partitions of $n$ for every positive integer $n$.

Ukrainian TYM Qualifying - geometry, 2019.8
Hannusya, Petrus and Mykolka drew independently one isosceles triangle $ABC$, all angles of which are measured as a integer number of degrees. It turned out that the bases $AC$ of these triangles are equals and for each of them on the ray $BC$ there is a point $E$ such that $BE=AC$, and the angle $AEC$ is also measured by an integer number of degrees. Is it in necessary that:
a) all three drawn triangles are equal to each other?
b) among them there are at least two equal triangles?

In the beginning there are $100$ integers in a row on the blackboard. Kain and Abel then play the following game: A [i]move[/i] consists in Kain choosing a chain of consecutive numbers; the length of the chain can be any of the numbers $1,2,\dots,100$ and in particular it is allowed that Kain only chooses a single number. After Kain has chosen his chain of numbers, Abel has to decide whether he wants to add $1$ to each of the chosen numbers or instead subtract $1$ from of the numbers. After that the next move begins, and so on.
If there are at least $98$ numbers on the blackboard that are divisible by $4$ after a move, then Kain has won.
Prove that Kain can force a win in a finite number of moves.
