There are $n$ blocks placed on the unit squares of a $n \times n$ chessboard such that there is exactly one block in each row and each column. Find the maximum value $k$, in terms of $n$, such that however the blocks are arranged, we can place $k$ rooks on the board without any two of them threatening each other.
(Two rooks are not threatening each other if there is a block lying between them.)

Let $\gamma$ be the incircle in the triangle $A_0A_1A_2$. For all $i\in\{0,1,2\}$ we make the following constructions (all indices are considered modulo 3): $\gamma_i$ is the circle tangent to $\gamma$ which passes through the points $A_{i+1}$ and $A_{i+2}$; $T_i$ is the point of tangency between $\gamma_i$ and $\gamma$; finally, the common tangent in $T_i$ of $\gamma_i$ and $\gamma$ intersects the line $A_{i+1}A_{i+2}$ in the point $P_i$. Prove that
a) the points $P_0$, $P_1$ and $P_2$ are collinear;
b) the lines $A_0T_0$, $A_1T_1$ and $A_2T_2$ are concurrent.

In the game of Guess the Card, two players each have a $\frac{1}{2}$ chance of winning and there is exactly one winner. Sixteen competitors stand in a circle, numbered $1,2,\dots,16$ clockwise. They participate in an $4$-round single-elimination tournament of Guess the Card. Each round, the referee randomly chooses one of the remaining players, and the players pair off going clockwise, starting from the chosen one; each pair then plays Guess the Card and the losers leave the circle. If the probability that players $1$ and $9$ face each other in the last round is $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m,n$ are positive integers, find $100m+n$.

Let $ p \geq 2$ be a prime number. Eduardo and Fernando play the following game making moves alternately: in each move, the current player chooses an index $i$ in the set $\{0,1,2,\ldots, p-1 \}$ that was not chosen before by either of the two players and then chooses an element $a_i$ from the set $\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$. Eduardo has the first move. The game ends after all the indices have been chosen .Then the following number is computed:
$$M=a_0+a_110+a_210^2+\cdots+a_{p-1}10^{p-1}= \sum_{i=0}^{p-1}a_i.10^i$$.
The goal of Eduardo is to make $M$ divisible by $p$, and the goal of Fernando is to prevent this.
Prove that Eduardo has a winning strategy.
