Anna and Berta play a game in which they take turns in removing marbles from a table. Anna takes the first turn. When at the beginning of the turn there are $n\geq 1$ marbles on the table, then the player whose turn it is removes $k$ marbles, where $k\geq 1$ either is an even number with $k\leq \frac{n}{2}$ or an odd number with $\frac{n}{2}\leq k\leq n$. A player win the game if she removes the last marble from the table. Determine the smallest number $N\geq 100000$ such that Berta can enforce a victory if there are exactly $N$ marbles on the tale in the beginning.

Let ${\cal C}_1$ and ${\cal C}_2$ be concentric circles, with ${\cal C}_2$ in the interior of ${\cal C}_1$. From a point $A$ on ${\cal C}_1$ one draws the tangent $AB$ to ${\cal C}_2$ ($B\in {\cal C}_2$). Let $C$ be the second point of intersection of $AB$ and ${\cal C}_1$, and let $D$ be the midpoint of $AB$. A line passing through $A$ intersects ${\cal C}_2$ at $E$ and $F$ in such a way that the perpendicular bisectors of $DE$ and $CF$ intersect at a point $M$ on $AB$. Find, with proof, the ratio $AM/MC$.

Given that any line parallel to one of the sides of $ D$, and having common points with the interior of $ D$, also has common interior points with the interior of at least one rectangle of the partition; prove that there is at least one rectangle of the partition having no common points with $ D$'s boundary.

A super ball rolling on the floor enters a half circular track (radius $R$). The ball rolls without slipping around the track and leaves (velocity $v$) traveling horizontally in the opposite direction. Afterwards, it bounces on the floor. How far (horizontally) from the end of the track will the ball bounce for the second time? The ball’s surface has a theoretically infinite coefficient of static friction. It is a perfect sphere of uniform density. All collisions with the ground are perfectly elastic and theoretically instantaneous. Variations could involve the initial velocity being given before the ball enters the track or state that the normal force between the ball and the track right before leaving is zero (centripetal acceleration).

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $W = \ldots x_{-1}x_0x_1x_2 \ldots$ be an infinite periodic word, consisting of just letters $a$ and/or $b$. Suppose that the minimal period $N$ of $W$ is greater than $2^n$. A finite nonempty word $U$ is said to [i]appear[/i] in $W$ if there exist indices $k \leq \ell$ such that $U=x_k x_{k+1} \ldots x_{\ell}$. A finite word $U$ is called [i]ubiquitous[/i] if the four words $Ua$, $Ub$, $aU$, and $bU$ all appear in $W$. Prove that there are at least $n$ ubiquitous finite nonempty words.
