2020 Grand Duchy of Lithuania, 2

There are $100$ cities in Matland. Every road in Matland connects two cities, does not pass through any other city and does not form crossroads with other roads (although roads can go through tunnels one after the other). Driving in Matlandia by road, it is possible to get from any city to any other. Prove that that it is possible to repair some of the roads of Matlandia so that from an odd number of repaired roads would go in each city.

A polynomial $A(x)$ is said to be [i]simple[/i] if $A(x)$ is divisible by $x$ but not divisible by $x^2$. Suppose that a polynomial $P(x)$ has a simple polynomial $Q(x)$ such that $P(Q(x))-Q(2x)$ is divisible by $x^2$. Prove that there exists a simple polynomial $R(x)$ such that $P(R(x))-R(2x)$ is divisible by $x^{2023}$.

Let integer $n\ge 3,$ $\tbinom n2$ nonnegative real numbers $a_{i,j}$ satisfy $ a_{i,j}+a_{j,k}\le a_{i,k}$ holds for all $1\le i <j<k\le n$. Proof $$\left\lfloor\frac{n^2}4\right\rfloor\sum_{1\le i<j\le n}a_{i,j}^4\ge \left(\sum_{1\le i<j\le n}a_{i,j}^2\right)^2.$$ [i]Proposed by Jingjun Han, Dongyi Wei[/i]

We are given a natural number $k$. Let us consider the following game on an infinite onedimensional board. At the start of the game, we distrubute $n$ coins on the fields of the given board (one field can have multiple coins on itself). After that, we have two choices for the following moves: $(i)$ We choose two nonempty fields next to each other, and we transfer all the coins from one of the fields to the other. $(ii)$ We choose a field with at least $2$ coins on it, and we transfer one coin from the chosen field to the $k-\mathrm{th}$ field on the left , and one coin from the chosen field to the $k-\mathrm{th}$ field on the right. $\mathbf{(a)}$ If $n\leq k+1$, prove that we can play only finitely many moves. $\mathbf{(b)}$ For which values of $k$ we can choose a natural number $n$ and distribute $n$ coins on the given board such that we can play infinitely many moves.

You are standing at a pole and a snail is moving directly away from the pole at $1$ cm/s. When the snail is $1$ meter away, you start "Round 1". In Round $n$ ($n\ge 1$), you move directly toward the snail at $n+1$ cm/s. When you reach the snail, you immediately turn around and move back to the starting pole at $n + 1$ cm/s. When you reach the pole, you immediately turn around and Round $n + 1$ begins. At the start of Round $100$, how many meters away is the snail?

Integers not divisible by $2012$ are arranged on the arcs of an oriented graph. We call the [i]weight of a vertex [/i]the difference between the sum of the numbers on the arcs coming into it and the sum of the numbers on the arcs going away from it. It is known that the weight of each vertex is divisible by $2012$. Prove that non-zero integers with absolute values not exceeding $2012$ can be arranged on the arcs of this graph, so that the weight of each vertex is zero. [i]Proposed by W. Tutte[/i]

Three mutually externally tangent circles are internally tangent to a circle with radius $1$. If two of the inner circles have radius $\frac{1}{3}$, the largest possible radius of the third inner circle can be expressed in the form $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ where $c$ is squarefree and $\gcd(a,b,d)=1$. Find $a+b+c+d$.

Let $k$ be any fixed positive integer. Let's look at integer pairs $(a, b)$, for which the quadratic equations $x^2 - 2ax + b = 0$ and $y^2 + 2ay + b = 0$ are real solutions (not necessarily different), which can be denoted by $x_1, x_2$ and $y_1, y_2$, respectively, in such an order that the equation $x_1 y_1 - x_2 y_2 = 4k$. a) Find the largest possible value of the second component $b$ of such a pair of numbers ($a, b)$. b) Find the sum of the other components of all such pairs of numbers.
