The driver starts driving every morning at the same time from office to the house of his boss, picks up the boss and then drives back to the office. He always drives with the same speed on the same road. Because the time of arrival of the car to the boss's house is predetermined, the boss always leaves the house on time, and thus the driver does not spend any time waiting for his boss. Once the driver started driving from the office $42$ minutes later, than usual. The boss saw that the car didn't come and started walking in the direction of office. When he met the car on the road, the driver picked him up and started driving back to the office. The speed of the boss is 20 times lower than the speed of the car, and the time usually spent on the route from office to the house is at least an hour. Determine did the car come earlier or later to the office and by how many minutes.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=c$ , $BC=a$ and $AC=b$. If $ x,y\in\mathbb{R}$ satisfy $ \frac{1}{x} +\frac{1}{y+z} = \frac{1}{a} $ , $ \frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x+z} = \frac{1}{b} $ , $ \frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y+x} = \frac{1}{c} $ . Prove that the following equality holds $ x(p-a) + y(p-b) + z(p-c) = 3r^2 + 12R*r , $ Where $p$ is semi-perimeter, $R$ is the circumradius and $r$ is the inradius.

Ana and Beta play a turn-based game on a $m \times n$ board. Ana begins. At the beginning, there is a stone in the lower left square and the objective is to move it to the upper right corner. A move consists of the player moving the stone to the right or up as many squares as the player wants. Find all the values ​​of $(m, n)$ for which Ana can guarantee victory.

2005 IberoAmerican Olympiad For University Students, 5

Arnaldo and Bernaldo play a game where they alternate saying natural numbers, and the winner is the one who says $0$. In each turn except the first the possible moves are determined from the previous number $n$ in the following way: write \[n =\sum_{m\in O_n}2^m;\] the valid numbers are the elements $m$ of $O_n$. That way, for example, after Arnaldo says $42= 2^5 + 2^3 + 2^1$, Bernaldo must respond with $5$, $3$ or $1$. We define the sets $A,B\subset \mathbb{N}$ in the following way. We have $n\in A$ iff Arnaldo, saying $n$ in his first turn, has a winning strategy; analogously, we have $n\in B$ iff Bernaldo has a winning strategy if Arnaldo says $n$ during his first turn. This way, \[A =\{0, 2, 8, 10,\cdots\}, B = \{1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9,\cdots\}\] Define $f:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$ by $f(n)=|A\cap \{0,1,\cdots,n-1\}|$. For example, $f(8) = 2$ and $f(11)=4$. Find \[\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(n)\log(n)^{2005}}{n}\]

A game of solitaire is played as follows. After each play, according to the outcome, the player receives either $a$ or $b$ points ($a$ and $b$ are positive integers with $a$ greater than $b$), and his score accumulates from play to play. It has been noticed that there are thirty-five non-attainable scores and that one of these is $58$. Find $a$ and $b$.

Benji has a $2\times 2$ grid, which he proceeds to place chips on. One by one, he places a chip on one of the unit squares of the grid at random. However, if at any point there is more than one chip on the same square, Benji moves two chips on that square to the two adjacent squares, which he calls a chip-fire. He keeps adding chips until there is an infinite loop of chip-fires. What is the expected number of chips that will be added to the board?
