Find all the positive integers $N$ with an even number of digits with the property that if we multiply the two numbers formed by cutting the number in the middle we get a number that is a divisor of $N$ ( for example $12$ works because $1 \cdot 2$ divides $12$)

Let it \(k\) be a fixed positive integer. Alberto and Beralto play the following game: Given an initial number \(N_0\) and starting with Alberto, they alternately do the following operation: change the number \(n\) for a number \(m\) such that \(m < n\) and \(m\) and \(n\) differ, in its base-2 representation, in exactly \(l\) consecutive digits for some \(l\) such that \(1 \leq l \leq k\). If someone can't play, he loses. We say a non-negative integer \(t\) is a [i]winner[/i] number when the gamer who receives the number \(t\) has a winning strategy, that is, he can choose the next numbers in order to guarrantee his own victory, regardless the options of the other player. Else, we call it [i]loser[/i]. Prove that, for every positive integer \(N\), the total of non-negative loser integers lesser than \(2^N\) is \(2^{N-\lfloor \frac{log(min\{N,k\})}{log 2} \rfloor}\)

Circles $\Omega$ and $\Gamma$ meet at points $A$ and $B$. The line containing their centres intersects $\Omega$ and $\Gamma$ at point $P$ and $Q$, respectively, such that these points lie on same side of the line $AB$ and point $Q$ is closer to $AB$ than point $P$. The circle $\delta$ lies on the same side of the line $AB$ as $P$ and $Q$, touches the segment $AB$ at point $D$ and touches $\Gamma$ at point $T$. The line $PD$ meets $\delta$ and $\Omega$ again at points $K$ and $L$, respectively. Prove that $\angle QTK=\angle DTL$

Rachel has the number $1000$ in her hands. When she puts the number $x$ in her left pocket, the number changes to $x+1.$ When she puts the number $x$ in her right pocket, the number changes to $x^{-1}.$ Each minute, she flips a fair coin. If it lands heads, she puts the number into her left pocket, and if it lands tails, she puts it into her right pocket. She then takes the new number out of her pocket. If the expected value of the number in Rachel's hands after eight minutes is $E,$ compute $\left\lfloor\frac{E}{10}\right\rfloor.$

There are $2012$ distinct points in the plane, each of which is to be coloured using one of $n$ colours, so that the numbers of points of each colour are distinct. A set of $n$ points is said to be [i]multi-coloured [/i]if their colours are distinct. Determine $n$ that maximizes the number of multi-coloured sets.

Let n be a nonzero natural number. We say about a function f ∶ R ⟶ R that is n-positive if, for any real numbers $x_1, x_2,...,x_n$ with the property that $x_1+x_2+...+x_n = 0$, the inequality $f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n)=>0$ is true a) Is it true that any 2020-positive function is also 1010-positive? b) Is it true that any 1010-positive function is 2020-positive?

The dimensions of a rectangle $R$ are $a$ and $b$, $a < b$. It is required to obtain a rectangle with dimensions $x$ and $y$, $x < a$, $y < a$, so that its perimeter is one-third that of $R$, and its area is one-third that of $R$.
