In the coordinate plane, Yifan the Yak starts at $(0,0)$ and makes $11$ moves. In a move, Yifan can either do nothing or move from an arbitrary point $(i,j)$ to $(i+1,j)$, $(i,j+1)$ or $(i+1,j+1)$. How many points $(x,y)$ with integer coordinates exist such that the number of ways Yifan can end on $(x,y)$ is odd? [i]Proposed by Yifan Kang[/i]

Two players play a game involving an $n \times n$ grid of chocolate. Each turn, a player may either eat a piece of chocolate (of any size), or split an existing piece of chocolate into two rectangles along a grid-line. The player who moves last loses. For how many positive integers $n$ less than $1000$ does the second player win? (Splitting a piece of chocolate refers to taking an $a \times b$ piece, and breaking it into an $(a-c) \times b$ and a $c \times b$ piece, or an $a \times (b-d)$ and an $a \times d$ piece.)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. The numbers $1,2,3,\dots, 4n$ are written in a board. Olive wants to make some "couples" of numbers, such that the product of the numbers in each couple is a perfect square. Each number is in, at most, one couple and the two numbers in each couple are distincts. Determine, for each positive integer $n$, the maximum number of couples that Olive can write.

Suppose that $P$, $E$, $F$ are collinear. Prove that $\angle ACB = 90^{\circ}$.

One day Mnemosyne decided to colour all natural numbers in increasing order. She coloured $0$, $1$ and $2$ in brown, and her favourite number, $3$, in gold. From then on, for any number whose sum of digits (in the decimal system) was a golden number less than the number itself, she coloured it gold, but coloured the rest of the numbers brown. How many four-digit numbers were coloured gold by Mnemosyne? [i]The set of natural numbers includes[/i] $0$.

In a standard game of Rock–Paper–Scissors, two players repeatedly choose between rock, paper, and scissors, until they choose different options. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. Nathan knows that on each turn, Richard randomly chooses paper with probability $33\%$, scissors with probability $44\%$, and rock with probability $23\%$. If Nathan plays optimally against Richard, the probability that Nathan wins is expressible as $a/b$ where $a$ and $b$ are coprime positive integers. Find $a + b$.
