2007 Chile National Olympiad, 3

Two players, Aurelio and Bernardo, play the following game. Aurelio begins by writing the number $1$. Next it is Bernardo's turn, who writes number $2$. From then on, each player chooses whether to add $1$ to the number just written by the previous player, or whether multiply that number by $2$. Then write the result and it's the other player's turn. The first player to write a number greater than $ 2007$ loses the game. Determine if one of the players can ensure victory no matter what the other does.

You want to sort the numbers 5 4 3 2 1 using block moves. In other words, you can take any set of numbers that appear consecutively and put them back in at any spot as a block. For example, [i]6 5 3[/i] 4 2 1 -> 4 2 [i]6 5 3[/i] 1 is a valid block move for 6 numbers. What is the minimum number of block moves necessary to get 1 2 3 4 5?

$N$ boxes are arranged in a circle and are numbered $1,2,3,.....N$ In a clockwise direction. A ball is assigned a number from${1,2,3,....N}$ and is placed in one of the boxes.A round consist of the following; if the current number on the ball is $n$, the ball is moved $n$ boxes in the clockwise direction and the number on the ball is changed to $n+1$ if $n<N$ and to $1$ if $n=N$. Is it possible to choose $N$, the initial number on the ball, and the first position of the ball in such a way that the ball gets back to the same box with the same number on it for the first time after exactly $2020$ rounds

A natural number is written in each square of an $ m \times n$ chess board. The allowed move is to add an integer $ k$ to each of two adjacent numbers in such a way that non-negative numbers are obtained. (Two squares are adjacent if they have a common side.) Find a necessary and sufficient condition for it to be possible for all the numbers to be zero after finitely many operations.

Consider the L-shaped region formed by three unit squares joined at their sides, as shown below. Two points $A$ and $B$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from inside this region. The probability that the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ also lies inside this L-shaped region can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

2016 Iran Team Selection Test, 3

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Two players $A$ and $B$ play a game in which they take turns choosing positive integers $k \le n$. The rules of the game are: (i) A player cannot choose a number that has been chosen by either player on any previous turn. (ii) A player cannot choose a number consecutive to any of those the player has already chosen on any previous turn. (iii) The game is a draw if all numbers have been chosen; otherwise the player who cannot choose a number anymore loses the game. The player $A$ takes the first turn. Determine the outcome of the game, assuming that both players use optimal strategies. [i]Proposed by Finland[/i]

Given a set of $2^{2016}$ cards with the numbers $1,2, ..., 2^{2016}$ written on them. We divide the set of cards into pairs arbitrarily, from each pair, we keep the card with larger number and discard the other. We now again divide the $2^{2015}$ remaining cards into pairs arbitrarily, from each pair, we keep the card with smaller number and discard the other. We now have $2^{2014}$ cards, and again divide these cards into pairs and keep the larger one in each pair. We keep doing this way, alternating between keeping the larger number and keeping the smaller number in each pair, until we have just one card left. Find all possible values of this final card.
