Consider the square grid with $A=(0,0)$ and $C=(n,n)$ at its diagonal ends. Paths from $A$ to $C$ are composed of moves one unit to the right or one unit up. Let $C_n$ (n-th catalan number) be the number of paths from $A$ to $C$ which stay on or below the diagonal $AC$. Show that the number of paths from $A$ to $C$ which cross $AC$ from below at most twice is equal to $C_{n+2}-2C_{n+1}+C_n$

A version of billiards is played on a right triangular table, with a pocket in each of the three corners, and one of the acute angles being $30^o$. A ball is played from just in front of the pocket at the $30^o$. vertex toward the midpoint of the opposite side. Prove that if the ball is played hard enough, it will land in the pocket of the $60^o$ vertex after $8$ reflections.

The fraction $\frac{3}{10}$ can be written as the sum of two positive fractions with numerator $1$ as follows: $\frac{3}{10} =\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$ and also $\frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{20}$. There are the only two ways in which this can be done. In how many ways can $\frac{3}{1984}$ be written as the sum of two positive fractions with numerator $1$? Is there a positive integer $n,$ not divisible by $3$, such that $\frac{3}{n}$ can be written as the sum of two positive fractions with numerator $1$ in exactly $1984$ ways?

Three players $A,B$ and $C$ play a game with three cards and on each of these $3$ cards it is written a positive integer, all $3$ numbers are different. A game consists of shuffling the cards, giving each player a card and each player is attributed a number of points equal to the number written on the card and then they give the cards back. After a number $(\geq 2)$ of games we find out that A has $20$ points, $B$ has $10$ points and $C$ has $9$ points. We also know that in the last game B had the card with the biggest number. Who had in the first game the card with the second value (this means the middle card concerning its value).

The Yamaimo family is moving to a new house, so they’ve packed their belongings into boxes, which weigh $100\text{ kg}$ in total. Mr. Yamaimo realizes that $99\%$ of the weight of the boxes is due to books. Later, the family unpacks some of the books (and nothing else). Mr. Yamaimo notices that now only $95\%$ of the weight of the boxes is due to books. How much do the boxes weigh now in kilograms?

It is allowed to perform the following transformations in the plane with any integers $a$: (1) Transform every point $(x, y)$ to the corresponding point $(x + ay, y)$, (2) Transform every point $(x, y)$ to the corresponding point $(x, y + ax)$. Does there exist a non-square rhombus whose all vertices have integer coordinates and which can be transformed to: a) Vertices of a square, b) Vertices of a rectangle with unequal side lengths?

Suppose we have distinct positive integers $a, b, c, d$, and an odd prime $p$ not dividing any of them, and an integer $M$ such that if one considers the infinite sequence \begin{align*} ca &- db \\ ca^2 &- db^2 \\ ca^3 &- db^3 \\ ca^4 &- db^4 \\ &\vdots \end{align*} and looks at the highest power of $p$ that divides each of them, these powers are not all zero, and are all at most $M$. Prove that there exists some $T$ (which may depend on $a,b,c,d,p,M$) such that whenever $p$ divides an element of this sequence, the maximum power of $p$ that divides that element is exactly $p^T$.
