Let $n$ be a positive integer; and $S(n)$ denote the sum of all digits in the decimal representation of $n$. A positive integer obtained by removing one or several digits from the right hand end of the decimal representation of $n$ is called the [i]truncation[/i] of $n$. The sum of all truncations of $n$ is denoted as $T(n)$.
Prove that $S(n)+9T(n)=n$

A card deck consists of $1024$ cards. On each card, a set of distinct decimal digits is written in such a way that no two of these sets coincide (thus, one of the cards is empty). Two players alternately take cards from the deck, one card per turn. After the deck is empty, each player checks if he can throw out one of his cards so that each of the ten digits occurs on an even number of his remaining cards. If one player can do this but the other one cannot, the one who can is the winner; otherwise a draw is declared.
Determine all possible first moves of the first player after which he has a winning strategy.

The director of a Zoo has bought eight elephants numbered by $1, 2, \ldots , 8$. He has forgotten their masses but he remembers that each elephant starting with the third one has the mass equal to the sum of the masses of two preceding ones. Suddenly the director hears a rumor that one of the elephants has lost his mass. How can the director perform two weightings on balancing scales without weights to either find this elephant or make sure that this was just a rumor? (It is known that no elephant gained mass and no more than one elephant lost mass.)

In a $3$ by $3$ table, by a $k$-worm, we mean a path of different cells $(S_1,S_2,...,S_k)$ such that each two consecutive cells have one side in common. The $k$-worm at each steep can go one cell forward and turn to the $(S,S_1,...,S_{k-1})$ if $S$ is an unfilled cell which is adjacent (has one side in common) with $S_1$. Find the maximum number of $k$ such that there is a $k$-worm $(S_1,...,S_k)$ such that after finitly many steps can be turned to $(S_k,...,S_1)$.

A dragon gave a captured knight $100$ coins. Half of them are magical, but only dragon knows which are. Each day, the knight should divide the coins into two piles (not necessarily equal in size). The day when either magic coins or usual coins are spread equally between the piles, the dragon set the knight free. Can the knight guarantee himself a freedom in at most
(a) $50$ days?
(b) $25$ days?
