Several prime numbers (some repeated) are written on the board. Mauro added the numbers on the board and Fernando multiplied the numbers on the board. The result obtained by Fernando is equal to $40$ times the result obtained by Mauro. Determine what the numbers on the board can be. Give all chances.

Denote by $\omega (n)$ the number of prime divisors of the natural number $n$ (without multiplicities). Let
$$F(x)=\max_{n\leq x} \omega (n) \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, G(x)=\max_{n\leq x} \left( \omega (n) + \omega (n^2+1)\right)$$
Prove that $G(x)-F(x)\to \infty$ as $x\to\infty$.

[u]Round 1[/u]
[b]p1.[/b] Three snails – Alice, Bobby, and Cindy – were racing down a road.
Whenever one snail passed another, it waved at the snail it passed.
During the race, Alice waved $3$ times and was waved at twice.
Bobby waved $4$ times and was waved at $3$ times.
Cindy waved $5$ times. How many times was she waved at?
[b]p2.[/b] Sherlock and Mycroft are playing Battleship on a $4\times 4$ grid. Mycroft hides a single $3\times 1$ cruiser somewhere on the board. Sherlock can pick squares on the grid and fire upon them. What is the smallest number of shots Sherlock has to fire to guarantee at least one hit on the cruiser?
[b]p3.[/b] Thirty girls – $13$ of them in red dresses and $17$ in blue dresses – were dancing in a circle, hand-in-hand. Afterwards, each girl was asked if the girl to her right was in a blue dress. Only the girls who had both neighbors in red dresses or both in blue dresses told the truth. How many girls could have answered “Yes”?
[b]p4.[/b] Herman and Alex play a game on a $5\times 5$ board. On his turn, a player can claim any open square as his territory. Once all the squares are claimed, the winner is the player whose territory has the longer border. Herman goes first. If both play their best, who will win, or will the game end in a draw?

[b]p6.[/b] Hermione and Ron play a game that starts with 129 hats arranged in a circle. They take turns magically transforming the hats into animals. On each turn, a player picks a hat and chooses whether to change it into a badger or into a raven. A player loses if after his or her turn there are two animals of the same species right next to each other. Hermione goes first. Who loses?
[b]p7.[/b] Three warring states control the corner provinces of the island whose map is shown below.

As a result of war, each of the remaining $18$ provinces was occupied by one of the states. None of the states was able to occupy any province on the coast opposite their corner. The states would like to sign a peace treaty. To do this, they each must send ambassadors to a place where three provinces, one controlled by each state, come together. Prove that they can always find such a place to meet.
For example, if the provinces are occupied as shown here, the squares mark possible meeting spots.

An integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition.
[quote]For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways:
4
3 + 1
2 + 2
2 + 1 + 1
1 + 1 + 1 + 1[/quote]
The number of partitions of n is given by the partition function $p\left ( n \right )$. So $p\left ( 4 \right ) = 5$ .
Determine all the positive integers so that $p\left ( n \right )+p\left ( n+4 \right )=p\left ( n+2 \right )+p\left ( n+3 \right )$.

Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a $ \$390$ debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way?
$ \textbf{(A) } \$5\qquad \textbf{(B) } \$10\qquad \textbf{(C) } \$30\qquad \textbf{(D) } \$90\qquad \textbf{(E) } \$210$
