For $p$, $q$, $l$ strictly positive real numbers, consider the following problem: for $y \geq 0$ fixed, determine the values $x \geq 0$ such that $x^p - lx^q \leq y$. Denote by $S(y)$ the set of solutions of this problem. Prove that if one has $p < q$, $\epsilon \in (0, l^\frac{1}{p-q})$, $0 \leq x \leq \epsilon$ and $x \in S(y)$, then $$x\leq ky^{\delta},\ \text{where}\ k=\epsilon\left(\epsilon^p-l\epsilon^q\right)^{-\frac{1}{p}}\ \text{and}\ \delta=\frac{1}{p}$$

[b]p1.[/b] Two players play the following game. On the lowest left square of an $8 \times 8$ chessboard there is a rook (castle). The first player is allowed to move the rook up or to the right by an arbitrary number of squares. The second layer is also allowed to move the rook up or to the right by an arbitrary number of squares. Then the first player is allowed to do this again, and so on. The one who moves the rook to the upper right square wins. Who has a winning strategy?

We define the following sequences:
• Sequence $A$ has $a_n = n$.
• Sequence $B$ has $b_n = a_n$ when $a_n \not\equiv 0$ (mod 3) and $b_n = 0$ otherwise.
• Sequence $C$ has $c_n =\sum_{i=1}^{n} b_i$
.• Sequence $D$ has $d_n = c_n$ when $c_n \not\equiv 0$ (mod 3) and $d_n = 0$ otherwise.

High school graduate Igor Petrov, who dreamed of becoming a diplomat, took the entrance exam in mathematics to Moscow University. Igor remembered all the problems offered during the exam, but forgot some numerical data in one. This is the task:
“When multiplying two natural numbers, the difference of which is $10$, an error was made: the hundreds digit in the product was increased by $2$. When dividing the resulting (incorrect) product by the smaller of the factors, the result was quotient $k$ and remainder $r$.. Find the numbers that needed to be multiplied.” .
The values of $k$ and $r$ were given in the condition, but Igor forgot them. However, he remembered that the problem had two answers. What could the numbers $ k$ and $r$ be equal to (they are both integers and positive)?
[i]Note. The problem in question was proposed at one of the humanities faculties of Moscow State University in 1991.

Ana writes an infinite list of numbers using the following procedure. The first number of the list is a positive integer $a$ chosen by Ana. From there, each number in the list is obtained by calculating the sum of all the integers from $1$ to the last number written. For example, if $a = 3$, Ana's list starts as $3, 6, 21, 231, \dots$ because $1 + 2 + 3 = 6$, $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21$ and $1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + 21 = 231$. Is it possible for all the numbers in Ana's list to be even?

[b]p1.[/b] Show that for every $n \ge 6$, a square in the plane may be divided into $n$ smaller squares, not necessarily all of the same size.
[b]p2.[/b] Let $n$ be the $4018$-digit number $111... 11222...2225$, where there are $2008$ ones and $2009$ twos. Prove that $n$ is a perfect square. (Giving the square root of $n$ is not sufficient. You must also prove that its square is $n$.)
[b]p3.[/b] Let $n$ be a positive integer. A game is played as follows. The game begins with $n$ stones on the table. The two players, denoted Player I and Player II (Player I goes first), alternate in removing from the table a nonzero square number of stones. (For example, if $n = 26$ then in the first turn Player I can remove $1$ or $4$ or $9$ or $16$ or $25$ stones.) The player who takes the last stone wins. Determine if the following sentence is TRUE or FALSE and prove your answer:
There are infinitely many starting values n such that Player II has a winning strategy.
(Saying that Player II has a winning strategy means that no matter how Player I plays, Player II can respond with moves that lead to a win for Player II.)
