A positive integer is called [i]beautiful[/i] if it can be represented in the form $\dfrac{x^2+y^2}{x+y}$ for two distinct positive integers $x,y$. A positive integer that is not beautiful is [i]ugly[/i].
a) Prove that $2014$ is a product of a beautiful number and an ugly number.
b) Prove that the product of two ugly numbers is also ugly.

The sweeties shop called "Olympiad" sells boxes of $6,9$ or $20$ chocolates. Groups of students from a school that is near the shop collect money to buy a chocolate for each student; to make this they buy a box and than give to everybody a chocolate. Like this students can create groups of $15=6+9$ students, $38=2*9+20$ students, etc. The seller has promised to the students that he can satisfy any group of students, and if he will need to open a new box of chocolate for any group (like groups of $4,7$ or $10$ students) than he will give all the chocolates for free to this group. Can there be constructed the biggest group that profits free chocolates, and if so, how many students are there in this group?

A bored student walks down a hall that contains a row of closed lockers, numbered 1 to 1024. He opens the locker numbered 1, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. When he reaches the end of the hall, the student turns around and starts back. He opens the first closed locker he encounters, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. The student continues wandering back and forth in this manner until every locker is open. What is the number of the last locker he opens?

Let $\mathbb R$ be the real numbers. Set $S = \{1, -1\}$ and define a function $\operatorname{sign} : \mathbb R \to S$ by
\[ \operatorname{sign} (x) =
\begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } x \ge 0; \\
-1 & \text{if } x < 0.
\end{cases}
\] Fix an odd integer $n$. Determine whether one can find $n^2+n$ real numbers $a_{ij}, b_i \in S$ (here $1 \le i, j \le n$) with the following property: Suppose we take any choice of $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \in S$ and consider the values \begin{align*}
y_i &= \operatorname{sign} \left( \sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij} x_j \right), \quad \forall 1 \le i \le n; \\
z &= \operatorname{sign} \left( \sum_{i=1}^n y_i b_i \right)
\end{align*} Then $z=x_1 x_2 \dots x_n$.

A $7 \times 1$ board is completely covered by $m \times 1$ tiles without overlap; each tile may cover any number of consecutive squares, and each tile lies completely on the board. Each tile is either red, blue, or green. Let $N$ be the number of tilings of the $7 \times 1$ board in which all three colors are used at least once. For example, a $1 \times 1$ red tile followed by a $2 \times 1$ green tile, a $1 \times 1$ green tile, a $2 \times 1$ blue tile, and a $1 \times 1$ green tile is a valid tiling. Note that if the $2 \times 1$ blue tile is replaced by two $1 \times 1$ blue tiles, this results in a different tiling. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

For a number $n$ in base $10$, let $f(n)$ be the sum of all numbers possible by removing some digits of $n$ (including none and all). For example, if $n = 1234$, $f(n) = 1234 + 123 + 124 + 134 + 234 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 23 + 24 + 34 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 1979$; this is formed by taking the sums of all numbers obtained when removing no digit from $n$ (1234), removing one digit from $n$ (123, 124, 134, 234), removing two digits from $n$ (12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 34), removing three digits from $n$ (1, 2, 3, 4), and removing all digits from $n$ (0). If $p$ is a 2011-digit integer, prove that $f(p)-p$ is divisible by $9$.
Remark: If a number appears twice or more, it is counted as many times as it appears. For example, with the number $101$, $1$ appears three times (by removing the first digit, giving $01$ which is equal to $1$, removing the first two digits, or removing the last two digits), so it is counted three times.
