There are 2019 cards in a box. Each card has a number written on one of its sides and a letter on the other side. Amy and Ben play the following game: in the beginning Amy takes all the cards, places them on a line and then she flips as many cards as she wishes. Each time Ben touches a card he has to flip it and its neighboring cards. Ben is allowed to have as many as 2019 touches. Ben wins if all the cards are on the numbers' side, otherwise Amy wins. Determine who has a winning strategy.

Anders is solving a math problem, and he encounters the expression $\sqrt{15!}$. He attempts to simplify this radical as $a\sqrt{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. The sum of all possible values of $ab$ can be expressed in the form $q\cdot 15!$ for some rational number $q$. Find $q$.

For what $k$ is it possible to construct a cube $k\times k\times k$ of the black and white cubes $1\times 1\times 1$ in such a way that every small cube has the same colour, that have exactly two his neighbours. (Two cubes are neighbours, if they have the common face.)

points in $A \cup B$ are collinear. Assume that at least one of the sets $A, B$ contains at least five points. Show that there exists a triangle all of whose vertices are contained in $A$ or in $B$ that does not contain in its interior any point from the other set.

Rose fills each of the rectangular regions of her rectangular flower bed with a different type of flower. The lengths, in feet, of the rectangular regions in her flower bed are as shown in the figure. She plants one flower per square foot in each region. Asters cost $ \$$1 each, begonias $ \$$1.50 each, cannas $ \$$2 each, dahlias $ \$$2.50 each, and Easter lilies $ \$$3 each. What is the least possible cost, in dollars, for her garden?

Let $p$ be a prime number. For integers $r, s$ such that $rs(r^2 - s^2)$ is not divisible by $p$, let $f(r, s)$ denote the number of integers $n \in \{1, 2, \ldots, p - 1\}$ such that $\{rn/p\}$ and $\{sn/p\}$ are either both less than $1/2$ or both greater than $1/2$. Prove that there exists $N > 0$ such that for $p \geq N$ and all $r, s$, \[ \left\lceil \frac{p-1}{3} \right\rceil \le f(r, s) \le \left\lfloor \frac{2(p-1)}{3} \right\rfloor. \]

For integral $m$, let $p(m)$ be the greatest prime divisor of $m.$ By convention, we set $p(\pm 1) = 1$ and $p(0) = \infty.$ Find all polynomials $f$ with integer coefficients such that the sequence
\[ \{p \left( f \left( n^2 \right) \right) - 2n \}_{n \geq 0} \] is bounded above. (In particular, this requires $f \left (n^2 \right ) \neq 0$ for $n \geq 0.$)
