Let $n \geq 4$ be an integer. Consider a regular $2n-$gon for which to every vertex, an integer is assigned, which we call the value of said vertex. If four distinct vertices of this $2n-$gon form a rectangle, we say that the sum of the values of these vertices is a rectangular sum. Determine for which (not necessarily positive) integers $m$ the integers $m + 1, m + 2, . . . , m + 2n$ can be assigned to the vertices (in some order) in such a way that every rectangular sum is a prime number. (Prime numbers are positive by definition.)

On a large piece of paper, Dana creates a “rectangular spiral” by drawing line segments of lengths, in cm, of 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, ... as shown. Dana’s pen runs out of ink after the total of all the lengths he has drawn is 3000 cm. What is the length of the longest line segment that Dana draws? $\textbf{(A)}\ 38 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 39 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 54 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 55 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 30$

A computer program that works only with integer numbers reads the numbers on the screen, identifies the selected numbers and performs one of the following actions: • If button $A$ is pressed, the user selects $5$ numbers and then each selected number is changed to its successor; • If button $B$ is pressed, the user selects $5$ numbers and then each selected number is changed to its triple. Bento has this program on his computer with the numbers $1, 3, 3^2, · · ·, 3^{19}$ on the screen, each one appearing just once. a) By simply pressing button $A$ several times, is Bento able to make the sum of the numbers on the screen be $2024^{2025}$? b) What is the minimum number of times that Bento must press button $B$ to make all the numbers on the screen turn equal, without pressing button $A$?

One point of the plane is called $rational$ if both coordinates are rational and $irrational$ if both coordinates are irrational. Check whether the following statements are true or false: [b]a)[/b] Every point of the plane is in a line that can be defined by $2$ rational points. [b]b)[/b] Every point of the plane is in a line that can be defined by $2$ irrational points. This maybe is not algebra so sorry if I putted it in the wrong category!
