2013 BMT Spring, P1

Ahuiliztli is playing around with some coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters). She keeps grabbing $k$ coins and calculating the value of her handful. After a while, she begins to notice that if $k$ is even, she more often gets even sums, and if $k$ is odd, she more often gets odd sums. Help her prove this true! Given $k$ coins chosen uniformly and at random, prove that. the probability that the parity of $k$ is the same as the parity of the $k$ coins' value is greater than the probability that the parities are different.

2018 USAJMO, 6

Karl starts with $n$ cards labeled $1,2,3,\dots,n$ lined up in a random order on his desk. He calls a pair $(a,b)$ of these cards [i]swapped[/i] if $a>b$ and the card labeled $a$ is to the left of the card labeled $b$. For instance, in the sequence of cards $3,1,4,2$, there are three swapped pairs of cards, $(3,1)$, $(3,2)$, and $(4,2)$. He picks up the card labeled 1 and inserts it back into the sequence in the opposite position: if the card labeled 1 had $i$ card to its left, then it now has $i$ cards to its right. He then picks up the card labeled $2$ and reinserts it in the same manner, and so on until he has picked up and put back each of the cards $1,2,\dots,n$ exactly once in that order. (For example, the process starting at $3,1,4,2$ would be $3,1,4,2\to 3,4,1,2\to 2,3,4,1\to 2,4,3,1\to 2,3,4,1$.) Show that, no matter what lineup of cards Karl started with, his final lineup has the same number of swapped pairs as the starting lineup.

Fill in each space of the grid with one of the numbers $1,2,\dots,30$, using each number once. For $1\le{}n\le29$, the two spaces containing $n$ and $n+1$ must be in either the same row or the same column. Some numbers have been given to you. [asy] unitsize(32); int[][] a = { {29, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000}, {000, 19, 000, 000, 17, 000}, {13, 000, 000, 21, 000, 8}, {000, 4, 000, 15, 000, 24}, {10, 000, 000, 000, 26, 000}}; for (int i = 0; i < 6; ++i) { for (int j = 0; j < 5; ++j) { draw((i, -j)--(i+1, -j)--(i+1, -j-1)--(i, -j-1)--cycle); if (a[j][i] > 0 && a[j][i] < 999) label(string(a[j][i]), (i+0.5, -j-0.5), fontsize(30pt)); } } [/asy] You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)
