1979 Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik, 4

An infinite sequence $p_1, p_2, p_3, \ldots$ of natural numbers in the decimal system has the following property: For every $i \in \mathbb{N}$ the last digit of $p_{i+1}$ is different from $9$, and by omitting this digit one obtains number $p_i$. Prove that this sequence contains infinitely many composite numbers.

2011 Denmark MO - Mohr Contest, 5

Determine all sets $(a, b, c)$ of positive integers where one obtains $b^2$ by removing the last digit in $c^2$ and one obtains $a^2$ by removing the last digit in $b^2$. .

1983 All Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, 356

The sequences $a_n$ and $b_n$ members are the last digits of $[\sqrt{10}^n]$ and $[\sqrt{2}^n]$ respectively (here $[ ...]$ denotes the whole part of a number). Are those sequences periodical?

2013 CentroAmerican, 1

Juan writes the list of pairs $(n, 3^n)$, with $n=1, 2, 3,...$ on a chalkboard. As he writes the list, he underlines the pairs $(n, 3^n)$ when $n$ and $3^n$ have the same units digit. What is the $2013^{th}$ underlined pair?

2009 BAMO, 3

There are many sets of two different positive integers $a$ and $b$, both less than $50$, such that $a^2$ and $b^2$ end in the same last two digits. For example, $35^2 = 1225$ and $45^2 = 2025$ both end in $25$. What are all possible values for the average of $a$ and $b$? For the purposes of this problem, single-digit squares are considered to have a leading zero, so for example we consider $2^2$ to end with the digits 04, not $4$.

2021 Malaysia IMONST 1, 20

The cells of a $2021\times 2021$ table are filled with numbers using the following rule. The bottom left cell, which we label with coordinate $(1, 1)$, contains the number $0$. For every other cell $C$, we consider a route from $(1, 1)$ to $C$, where at each step we can only go one cell to the right or one cell up (not diagonally). If we take the number of steps in the route and add the numbers from the cells along the route, we obtain the number in cell $C$. For example, the cell with coordinate $(2, 1)$ contains $1 = 1 + 0$, the cell with coordinate $(3, 1)$ contains $3 = 2 + 0 + 1$, and the cell with coordinate $(3, 2)$ contains $7 = 3 + 0 + 1 + 3$. What is the last digit of the number in the cell $(2021, 2021)$?
