Chris begins by removing any black counter, and sliding a white counter from an adjacent square onto the empty square. From that point on, the players take turns. Michael slides a black counter onto an adjacent empty square, and Chris does the same with white counters (no more counters are removed). If a player has no legal move, then he loses.
(a) Show that, even if Chris and Michael play cooperatively, the game will come to an end.
(b) Which player has a winning strategy?

A square $2n\times 2n$ grid is given. Let us consider all possible paths along grid lines, going from the centre of the grid to the border, such that (1) no point of the grid is reached more than once, and (2) each of the squares homothetic to the grid having its centre at the grid centre is passed through only once.
(a) Prove that the number of all such paths is equal to $4\prod_{i=2}^n(16i-9)$.
(b) Find the number of pairs of such paths that divide the grid into two congruent figures.
(c) How many quadruples of such paths are there that divide the grid into four congruent parts?

[b]p1.[/b] At a conference a mathematician and a chemist were talking. They were amazed to find that they graduated from the same high school. One of them, the chemist, mentioned that he had three sons and asked the other to calculate the ages of his sons given the following facts:
(a) their ages are integers,
(b) the product of their ages is $36$,
(c) the sum of their ages is equal to the number of windows in the high school of the chemist and the mathematician.
The mathematician considered this problem and noted that there was not enough information to obtain a unique solution. The chemist then noted that his oldest son had red hair. The mathematician then announced that he had determined the ages of the three sons. Please (aspiring mathematicians) determine the ages of the chemists three sons and explain your solution.

Let $k$ and $m$ be integers greater than $1$. Consider $k$ pairwise disjoint sets $S_1,S_2, \cdots S_k$; each of these sets has exactly $m+1$ elements, one of which is red and the other $m$ are all blue. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be the family of all subsets $F$ of $S_1 \bigcup S_2\bigcup \cdots S_k$ such that, for every $i$ , the intersection $F \bigcap S_i$ is monochromatic; the empty set is also monochromatic. Determine the largest cardinality of a subfamily $\mathcal{G} \subseteq \mathcal{F}$, no two sets of which are disjoint.

Two circles in the plane, $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$, meet at points $M$ and $N$. Let $A$ be a point on $\gamma_1$, and let $D$ be a point on $\gamma_2$. The lines $AM$ and $AN$ meet again $\gamma_2$ at points $B$ and $C$, respectively, and the lines $DM$ and $DN$ meet again $\gamma_1$ at points $E$ and $F$, respectively. Assume the order $M$, $N$, $F$, $A$, $E$ is circular around $\gamma_1$, and the segments $AB$ and $DE$ are congruent. Prove that the points $A$, $F$, $C$ and $D$ lie on a circle whose centre does not depend on the position of the points $A$ and $D$ on the respective circles, subject to the assumptions above.

In a class, there are $n \geqslant 3$ students and a teacher with $M$ marbles. The teacher then play a [i]Marble distribution[/i] according to the following rules. At the start, the teacher distributed all her marbles to students, so that each student receives at least $1$ marbles from the teacher. Then, the teacher chooses a student , who has never been chosen before, such that the number of marbles that he owns in a multiple of $2(n-1)$. That chosen student then equally distribute half of his marbles to $n-1$ other students. The same goes on until the teacher is not able to choose anymore student.
Find all integer $M$, such that for some initial numbers of marbles that the students receive, the teacher can choose all the student(according to the rule above), so that each student receiving equal amount of marbles at the end.
