A frog jumps around on the grid points in the plane, from one grid point to another. The frog starts at the point $(0, 0)$. Then it makes, successively, a jump of one step horizontally, a jump of $2$ steps vertically, a jump of $3$ steps horizontally, a jump of $4$ steps vertically, et cetera. Determine all $n > 0$ such that the frog can be back in $(0, 0)$ after $n$ jumps.

A rectangular sheet of paper (white on one side and gray on the other) was folded three times, as shown in the figure: Rectangle $1$, which was white after the first fold, has $20$ cm more perimeter than rectangle $2$, which was white after the second fold, and this in turn has $16$ cm more perimeter than rectangle $3$, which was white after the third fold. Determine the area of the sheet. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/d/f/8e363b40654ad0d8e100eac38319ee3784a7a7.png[/img]

Kirill has $n{}$ identical footballs and two infinite rows of baskets, each numbered with consecutive natural numbers. In one row the baskets are red, in the other they are blue. Kirill puts all the balls into baskets so that the number of balls in the either row of baskets does not increase. Denote by $A{}$ the number of ways to arrange the balls so that the first blue basket contains more balls than any red one, and by $B{}$ the number of arrangements so that the number of some blue basket corresponds with the number of balls in it. Prove that $A = B$.

Ann and Sue bought identical boxes of stationery. Ann used hers to write 1-sheet letters and Sue used hers to write 3-sheet letters. Ann used all the envelopes and had 50 sheets of paper left, while Sue used all of the sheets of paper and had 50 envelopes left. The number of sheets of paper in each box was \[ \begin{array}{rlrlrlrlrlrl} \hbox {(A)}& 150 \qquad & \hbox {(B)}& 125 \qquad & \hbox {(C)}& 120 \qquad & \hbox {(D)}& 100 \qquad & \hbox {(E)}& 80 & \end{array} \]
