Does there exist a polynomial \( P(x,y) \) in two variables with real coefficients, such that the following two conditions hold:
1) \( P(x,y) = P(x, x-y) = P(y-x, y) \) for any real numbers \( x \) and \( y \);
2) There does not exist a polynomial \( Q(z) \) in one variable with real coefficients such that \( P(x,y) = Q(x^2 - xy + y^2) \) for any real numbers \( x \) and \( y \)?

In each cell of a $4 \times 4$ table a digit $1$ or $2$ is written. Suppose that the sum of the digits in each of the four $3 \times 3$ sub-tables is divisible by $4$, but the sum of the digits in the entire table is not divisible by $4$. Find the greatest and the smallest possible value of the sum of the $16$ digits.

In the dog dictionary the words are any sequence of letters $A$ and $U$ for example $AA$, $UAU$ and $AUAU$. For each word, your "profundity" will be the quantity of subwords we can obtain by the removal of some letters.
For each positive integer $n$, determine the largest "profundity" of word, in dog dictionary, can have with $n$ letters.
Note: The word $AAUUA$ has "profundity" $14$ because your subwords are $A, U, AU, AA, UU, UA, AUU, UUA, AAU, AUA, AAA, AAUU, AAUA, AUUA$.

There is a test for the dangerous bifurcation virus that is $ 99\%$ accurate. In other words, if someone has the virus, there is a $ 99\%$ chance that the test will be positive, and if someone does not have it, then there is a $ 99\%$ chance the test will be negative. Assume that exactly $ 1\%$ of the general population has the virus. Given an individual that has tested positive from this test, what is the probability that he or she actually has the disease? Express your answer as a percentage.

Abby and Brian play the following game: They first choose a positive integer $N$. Then they write numbers on a blackboard in turn. Abby starts by writing a $1$. Thereafter, when one of them has written the number $n$, the other writes down either $n + 1$ or $2n$, provided that the number is not greater than $N$. The player who writes $N$ on the blackboard wins.
(a) Determine which player has a winning strategy if $N = 2011$.
(b) Find the number of positive integers $N\leqslant2011$ for which Brian has a winning strategy.
