We have a regular polygon $P$ with 2019 vertices, and in each vertex there is a coin. Two players [i]Azul[/i] and [i]Rojo[/i] take turns alternately, beginning with Azul, in the following way: first, Azul chooses a triangle with vertices in $P$ and colors its interior with blue, then Rojo selects a triangle with vertices in $P$ and colors its interior with red, so that the triangles formed in each move don't intersect internally the previous colored triangles. They continue playing until it's not possible to choose another triangle to be colored. Then, a player wins the coin of a vertex if he colored the greater quantity of triangles incident to that vertex (if the quantities of triangles colored with blue or red incident to the vertex are the same, then no one wins that coin and the coin is deleted). The player with the greater quantity of coins wins the game. Find a winning strategy for one of the players. [i]Note.[/i] Two triangles can share vertices or sides.

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function such that for any $x\in \mathbb{R}$, the limit $\lim_{h\to 0} \left|\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\right|$ exists and it is finite. Prove that in any real point, $f$ is differentiable or it has finite one-side derivates, of the same modul, but different signs.

A configuration of $4027$ points in the plane is called Colombian if it consists of $2013$ red points and $2014$ blue points, and no three of the points of the configuration are collinear. By drawing some lines, the plane is divided into several regions. An arrangement of lines is good for a Colombian configuration if the following two conditions are satisfied: i) No line passes through any point of the configuration. ii) No region contains points of both colors. Find the least value of $k$ such that for any Colombian configuration of $4027$ points, there is a good arrangement of $k$ lines. Proposed by [i]Ivan Guo[/i] from [i]Australia.[/i]

In a tournament, every team plays exactly once against every other team. One won match earns $3$ points for the winner and $0$ for the loser. With a draw both teams receive $1$ point each. At the end of the tournament it appears that all teams together have achieved $15$ points. The last team on the final list scored exactly $1$ point. The second to last team has not lost a match. a) How many teams participated in the tournament? b) How many points did the team score in second place in the final ranking?
