Given $n$ points in a circle, Arnaldo write 0 or 1 in all the points. Bernado can do a operation, he can chosse some point and change its number and the numbers of the points on the right and left side of it. Arnaldo wins if Bernado can´t change all the numbers in the circle to 0, and Bernado wins if he can
a) Show that Bernado can win if $n=101$
b) Show that Arnaldo wins if $n=102$

Chandler the Octopus is making a concoction to create the perfect ink. He adds $1.2$ grams of melanin, $4.2$ grams of enzymes, and $6.6$ grams of polysaccharides. But Chandler accidentally added n grams of an extra ingredient to the concoction, Chemical $X$, to create glue. Given that Chemical $X$ contains none of the three aforementioned ingredients, and the percentages of melanin, enzymes, and polysaccharides in the final concoction are all integers, find the sum of all possible positive integer values of $n$.

Find all quadruplets $(x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4)$ of real numbers such that the next six equalities apply:
$$\begin{cases} x_1 + x_2 = x^2_3 + x^2_4 + 6x_3x_4\\
x_1 + x_3 = x^2_2 + x^2_4 + 6x_2x_4\\
x_1 + x_4 = x^2_2 + x^2_3 + 6x_2x_3\\
x_2 + x_3 = x^2_1 + x^2_4 + 6x_1x_4\\

A tourist has arrived on an island where $100$ wizards live, each of whom can be a knight or a liar. He knows that at the time of his arrival, one of the hundred wizards is a knight (but does not know who exactly), and the rest are liars. A tourist can choose any two wizards $A$ and $B$ and ask $A$ to spell on $B$ with the spell "Whoosh"!, which changes the essence (turns a knight into a liar, and a liar into a knight). Wizards fulfill the tourist's requests, but if at that moment wizard $A$ is a knight, then the essence of $B$ really changes, and if $A$ is a liar, that doesn't change. The tourist wants to know the essence of at least $k$ wizards at the same time after several consecutive requests. For which maximum $k$ will he be able to achieve his goal?

Alice, Bob, Carol, and David decide that they will share meals and that one of them will cook each night. Because David enjoys cooking, he will cook on $4$ days of the week, while Alice, Bob, and Carol each pick a day of the week to cook on. If Alice, Bob, and Carol each choose the day they cook uniformly at random so as to avoid overlap, what is the probability that David does not cook on three consecutive days? For example, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are considered as three consecutive days, so are Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Let $B = (-1, 0)$ and $C = (1, 0)$ be fixed points on the coordinate plane. A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if
$\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and
$\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar.
Prove that there exist two distinct nice subsets $S$ and $S'$ of the set $\{(x, y) : x \geq 0, y \geq 0\}$ such that if $A \in S$ and $A' \in S'$ are the unique choices of points in $\text{(ii)}$, then the product $BA \cdot BA'$ is a constant independent of the triangle $P_1P_2P_3$.

In a country with $2015$ cities there is exactly one two-way flight between each city. The three flights made between three cities belong to at most two different airline companies. No matter how the flights are shared between some number of companies, if there is always a city in which $k$ flights belong to the same airline, what is the maximum value of $k$?
