Two people write a $2k$-digit number, using only the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$. The first number on the left is written by the first of them, the second - the second, the third - the first, etc. Can the second one achieve this so that the resulting number is divisible by $9$, if the first seeks to interfere with it? Consider the cases $k = 10$ and $k = 15$.

Harry Potter is sitting $2.0$ meters from the center of a merry-go-round when Draco Malfoy casts a spell that glues Harry in place and then makes the merry-go-round start spinning on its axis. Harry has a mass of $\text{50.0 kg}$ and can withstand $\text{5.0} \ g\text{'s}$ of acceleration before passing out. What is the magnitude of Harry's angular momentum when he passes out? (A) $\text{200 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{330 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{660 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{1000 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{2200 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle of center $O$, and $\delta$. be a line in the plane of $\Gamma$, not intersecting it. Denote by $A$ the foot of the perpendicular from $O$ onto $\delta$., and let $M$ be a (variable) point on $\Gamma$. Denote by $\gamma$ the circle of diameter $AM$ , by $X$ the (other than M ) intersection point of $\gamma$ and $\Gamma$, and by $Y$ the (other than $A$) intersection point of $\gamma$ and $\delta$. Prove that the line $XY$ passes through a fixed point.

Numbers $m$ and $n$ are given positive integers. There are $mn$ people in a party, standing in the shape of an $m\times n$ grid. Some of these people are police officers and the rest are the guests. Some of the guests may be criminals. The goal is to determine whether there is a criminal between the guests or not.\\ Two people are considered \textit{adjacent} if they have a common side. Any police officer can see their adjacent people and for every one of them, know that they're criminal or not. On the other hand, any criminal will threaten exactly one of their adjacent people (which is likely an officer!) to murder. A threatened officer will be too scared, that they deny the existence of any criminal between their adjacent people.\\ Find the least possible number of officers such that they can take position in the party, in a way that the goal is achievable. (Note that the number of criminals is unknown and it is possible to have zero criminals.) [i]Proposed by Abolfazl Asadi[/i]

There are n cars waiting at distinct points of a circular race track. At the starting signal each car starts. Each car may choose arbitrarily which of the two possible directions to go. Each car has the same constant speed. Whenever two cars meet they both change direction (but not speed). Show that at some time each car is back at its starting point.

Suppose that $728$ coins are set on a table, all facing heads up at first. For each iteration, we randomly choose $314$ coins and flip them (from heads to tails or vice versa). Let $a/b$ be the expected number of heads after we finish $4001$ iterations, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. Find $a + b$ mod $10000$.

Prove that in an arbitrary convex hexagon there is a diagonal that cuts off from it a triangle whose area does not exceed $\frac16$ of the area of the hexagon. What are the properties of a convex hexagon, each diagonal of which is cut off from it is a triangle whose area is not less than $\frac16$ the area of the hexagon?
