An infinite number of lilypads grow in a line, numbered $\dots$, $-2$, $-1$, $0$, $1$, $2$, $\dots$ Thumbelina and her pet frog start on one of the lilypads. She wants to make a sequence of jumps that will end on either pad $0$ or pad $96$. On each jump, Thumbelina tells her frog the distance (number of pads) to leap, but the frog chooses whether to jump left or right. From which starting pads can she always get to pad $0$ or pad $96$, regardless of her frog's decisions?

The sides of a 99-gon are initially colored so that consecutive sides are red, blue, red, blue, $\,\ldots, \,$ red, blue, yellow. We make a sequence of modifications in the coloring, changing the color of one side at a time to one of the three given colors (red, blue, yellow), under the constraint that no two adjacent sides may be the same color. By making a sequence of such modifications, is it possible to arrive at the coloring in which consecutive sides are red, blue, red, blue, red, blue, $\, \ldots, \,$ red, yellow, blue?

2010 MOPpers are assigned numbers 1 through 2010. Each one is given a red slip and a blue slip of paper. Two positive integers, A and B, each less than or equal to 2010 are chosen. On the red slip of paper, each MOPper writes the remainder when the product of A and his or her number is divided by 2011. On the blue slip of paper, he or she writes the remainder when the product of B and his or her number is divided by 2011. The MOPpers may then perform either of the following two operations: [list] [*] Each MOPper gives his or her red slip to the MOPper whose number is written on his or her blue slip. [*] Each MOPper gives his or her blue slip to the MOPper whose number is written on his or her red slip.[/list] Show that it is always possible to perform some number of these operations such that each MOPper is holding a red slip with his or her number written on it.

Show that there exists a set $ A$ of positive integers with the following property: for any infinite set $ S$ of primes, there exist [i]two[/i] positive integers $ m$ in $ A$ and $ n$ not in $ A$, each of which is a product of $ k$ distinct elements of $ S$ for some $ k \geq 2$.

To [i]clip[/i] a convex $n$-gon means to choose a pair of consecutive sides $AB, BC$ and to replace them by the three segments $AM, MN$, and $NC$, where $M$ is the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ is the midpoint of $BC$. In other words, one cuts off the triangle $MBN$ to obtain a convex $(n+1)$-gon. A regular hexagon ${\cal P}_6$ of area 1 is clipped to obtain a heptagon ${\cal P}_7$. Then ${\cal P}_7$ is clipped (in one of the seven possible ways) to obtain an octagon ${\cal P}_8$, and so on. Prove that no matter how the clippings are done, the area of ${\cal P}_n$ is greater than $\frac 13$, for all $n \geq 6$.
