2012 Math Prize For Girls Problems, 15

Kate has two bags $X$ and $Y$. Bag $X$ contains $5$ red marbles (and nothing else). Bag $Y$ contains $4$ red marbles and $1$ blue marble (and nothing else). Kate chooses one of her bags at random (each with probability $\frac{1}{2}$) and removes a random marble from that bag (each marble in that bag being equally likely). She repeats the previous step until one of the bags becomes empty. At that point, what is the probability that the blue marble is still in bag $Y$?

We consider a fixed point $P$ in the interior of a fixed sphere$.$ We construct three segments $PA, PB,PC$, perpendicular two by two$,$ with the vertexes $A, B, C$ on the sphere$.$ We consider the vertex $Q$ which is opposite to $P$ in the parallelepiped (with right angles) with $PA, PB, PC$ as edges$.$ Find the locus of the point $Q$ when $A, B, C$ take all the positions compatible with our problem.

[b]p1.[/b] Prove that the equation $x^6 - 143x^5 - 917x^4 + 51x^3 + 77x^2 + 291x + 1575 = 0$ has no integer solutions. [b]p2.[/b] There are $81$ wheels in a storage marked by their two types, say first and second type. Wheels of the same type weigh equally. Any wheel of the second type is much lighter than a wheel of the first type. It is known that exactly one wheel is marked incorrectly. Show that it can be detected with certainty after four measurements on a balance scale. [b]p3.[/b] Rob and Ann multiplied the numbers from $1$ to $100$ and calculated the sum of digits of this product. For this sum, Rob calculated the sum of its digits as well. Then Ann kept repeating this operation until he got a one-digit number. What was this number? [b]p4.[/b] Rui and Jui take turns placing bishops on the squares of the $ 8\times 8$ chessboard in such a way that bishops cannot attack one another. (In this game, the color of the rooks is irrelevant.) The player who cannot place a rook loses the game. Rui takes the first turn. Who has a winning strategy, and what is it? [b]p5.[/b] The following figure can be cut along sides of small squares into several (more than one) identical shapes. What is the smallest number of such identical shapes you can get?

Here $G_{n}$ denotes a simple undirected graph with $n$ vertices, $K_{n}$ denotes the complete graph with $n$ vertices, $K_{n,m}$ the complete bipartite graph whose components have $m$ and $n$ vertices, and $C_{n}$ a circuit with $n$ vertices. The number of edges in the graph $G_{n}$ is denoted $e(G_{n})$. If $n \geq 5$ and $e(G_{n}) \geq \frac{n^{2}}{4}+2$, prove that $G_{n}$ contains two triangles that share exactly one vertex.

$2022$ lily pads are arranged in a circle. Each lily pad starts with height $1$. A frog starts on one of the lily pads, and jumps around clockwise as follows: if the frog is on a lily bad of height $k$, the lily pad grows by $1$ (becoming $k+1$), and then the frog jumps $k$ lily pads clockwise (i.e. jumping over $(k-1)$). The frog continues doing this as long as it pleases. After $n$ jumps, let $D(n)$ be the difference between the tallest lily pad and the shortest lily pad. Find, with proof, the maximum possible value of $D(n)$, or prove that $D(n)$ is unbounded.
