Let $p$ be a prime number and $k$ be a positive integer. Let \[t=\sum_{i=0}^\infty\bigg\lfloor\frac{k}{p^i}\bigg\rfloor.\]a) Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $k$ with integer coefficients such that its leading coefficient is $1$ and its constant is divisible by $p.$ prove that there exists $n\in\mathbb{N}$ for which $p\mid f(n),$ but $p^{t+1}\nmid f(n).$ b) Prove that the statement above is sharp, i.e. there exists a polynomial $g(x)$ of degree $k,$ integer coefficients, leading coefficient $1$ and constant divisible by $p$ such that if $p\mid g(n)$ is true for a certain $n\in\mathbb{N},$ then $p^t\mid g(n)$ also holds.

[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?

2022 IFYM, Sozopol, 4

A natural number $x$ is written on the board. In one move, we can take the number on the board and between any two of its digits in its decimal notation we can we put a sign $+$, or we may not put it, then we calculate the obtained result and we write it on the board in place of $x$. For example, from the number $819$. we can get $18$ by $8 + 1 + 9$, $90$ by $81 + 9$, and $27$ by $8 + 19$. Prove that no matter what $x$ is, we can reach a single digit number with at most $4$ moves.
