In fencing, you win a round if you are the first to reach $15$ points. Suppose that when $A$ plays against $B$, at any point during the round, $A$ scores the next point with probability $p$ and $B$ scores the next point with probability $q=1-p$. (However, they never can both score a point at the same time.) Suppose that in this round, $A$ already has $14-k$ points, and $B$ has $14-\ell$ (where $0\le k,\ell\le 14$). By how much will the probability that $A$ wins the round increase if $A$ scores the next point?

A set of lines in the plane is in [i]general position[/i] if no two are parallel and no three pass through the same point. A set of lines in general position cuts the plane into regions, some of which have finite area; we call these its [i]finite regions[/i]. Prove that for all sufficiently large $n$, in any set of $n$ lines in general position it is possible to colour at least $\sqrt{n}$ lines blue in such a way that none of its finite regions has a completely blue boundary. [i]Note[/i]: Results with $\sqrt{n}$ replaced by $c\sqrt{n}$ will be awarded points depending on the value of the constant $c$.

Determine what day of the week day was: June $6$, $1944$. Note: Leap years are those that are multiples of $4$ and do not end in $00$ or that are multiples of $400$, for example $1812$, $1816$, $1820$, $1600$, $2000$, but $1800$, $1810$, $2100$ are not leaps. Giving the answer without any mathematical justification will not award points.

Let $0 < a_1 < a_2 <... < a_{16} < 122$ be $16$ integers. Prove that there exist integers $(p, q, r, s)$, with $1 \le p < r \le s < q \le 16$, such that $a_p + a_q = a_r + a_s$. An additional $2$ points will be awarded for this problem, if you can find a larger bound than $122$ (with proof).

In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $M$ is a point on the side $BC$, the line $AM$ meets the circumcircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ at the point $Q$ distinct from $A$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $Q$ intersects the line through $M$ perpendicular to the diameter $AK$ of $\omega$ at the point $P$. Let $L$ be the point on $\omega$ distinct from $Q$ such that $PL$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $L$. Prove that $L,M$ and $K$ are collinear.

On a large chessboard, there are $4$ puddings that form a square with size $1$. A pudding $A$ could jump over a pudding $B$, or equivalently, $A$ moves to the symmetric point with respect to $B$. Is it possible that after finite times of jumping, the puddings form a square with size $2$?

Numbers $1,2,3...,100$ are written on a board. $A$ and $B$ plays the following game: They take turns choosing a number from the board and deleting them. $A$ starts first. They sum all the deleted numbers. If after a player's turn (after he deletes a number on the board) the sum of the deleted numbers can't be expressed as difference of two perfect squares,then he loses, if not, then the game continues as usual. Which player got a winning strategy?

The vertices of a regular polygon with $N$ sides are marked on the blackboard. Ana and Beto play alternately, Ana begins. Each player, in turn, must do the following: $\bullet$ join two vertices with a segment, without cutting another already marked segment; or $\bullet$ delete a vertex that does not belong to any marked segment. The player who cannot take any action on his turn loses the game. Determine which of the two players can guarantee victory: a) if $N=28$ b) if $N=29$

Consider a set of $6$ fixed points in the plane, with no three collinear. Between some pairs of these points, we may draw one arrow from one point to the other. How many possible configurations of arrows are there such that if there is an arrow from point $A$ to point $B$ and an arrow from $B$ to $C,$ then there is an arrow from $A$ to $C?$ Your score will be $16-\frac{1}{800}|\textbf{Your Answer}-\textbf{Actual Answer}|$ rounded to the nearest integer or zero, whichever is higher.

Let $m,n$ and $N$ be positive integers and $\mathbb{Z}_{N}=\{0,1,\dots,N-1\}$ a set of residues modulo $N$. Consider a table $m\times n$ such that each one of the $mn$ cells has an element of $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$. A [i]move[/i] is choose an element $g\in \mathbb{Z}_{N}$, a cell in the table and add $+g$ to the elements in the same row/column of the chosen cell(the sum is modulo $N$). Prove that if $N$ is coprime with $m-1,n-1,m+n-1$ then any initial arrangement of your elements in the table cells can become any other arrangement using an finite quantity of moves.

2015 Dutch IMO TST, 1

Let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers satifying $gcd(a, b) = 1$. Consider a pawn standing on the grid point $(x, y)$. A step of type A consists of moving the pawn to one of the following grid points: $(x+a, y+a),(x+a,y-a), (x-a, y + a)$ or $(x - a, y - a)$. A step of type B consists of moving the pawn to $(x + b,y + b),(x + b,y - b), (x - b,y + b)$ or $(x - b,y - b)$. Now put a pawn on $(0, 0)$. You can make a ( nite) number of steps, alternatingly of type A and type B, starting with a step of type A. You can make an even or odd number of steps, i.e., the last step could be of either type A or type B. Determine the set of all grid points $(x,y)$ that you can reach with such a series of steps.
