Amy and Bob play the game. At the beginning, Amy writes down a positive integer on the board. Then the players take moves in turn, Bob moves first. On any move of his, Bob replaces the number $n$ on the blackboard with a number of the form $n-a^2$, where $a$ is a positive integer. On any move of hers, Amy replaces the number $n$ on the blackboard with a number of the form $n^k$, where $k$ is a positive integer. Bob wins if the number on the board becomes zero.
Can Amy prevent Bob’s win?

On a semicircle centred at $O$ and with radius $1$ choose the respective points $A_1,A_2,...,A_{2n}$ , for $n \in N^*$. The lenght of the projection of the vector $\overrightarrow {u}=\overrightarrow{OA_1} +\overrightarrow{OA_2}+...+\overrightarrow{OA_{2n}}$ on the diameter is an odd integer. Show that the projection of that vector on the diameter is at least $1$.

Let $b$ be a positive integer. Grogg writes down a sequence whose first term is $1$. Each term after that is the total number of digits in all the previous terms of the sequence when written in base $b$. For example, if $b = 3$, the sequence starts $1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, \dots$. If $b = 2521$, what is the first positive power of $b$ that does not appear in the sequence?

(a) A point $A$ is marked inside a sphere. Three perpendicular lines drawn through $A$ intersect the sphere at six points. Prove that the centre of gravity of these six points does not depend on the choice of such three lines.
(b) An icosahedron with the centre $A$ is placed inside a sphere (its centre does not necessarily coincide with the centre of the sphere). The rays going from $A$ to the vertices of the icosahedron mark $12$ points on the sphere. Then the icosahedron is rotated about its centre. New rays mark new $12$ points on the sphere. Let $O$ and $N$ be the centres of mass of old and new points respectively. Prove that $O = N$.

Let $a, b, c, d$ be distinct positive real numbers. Prove that if one of the numbers $c, d$ lies between $a$ and $b$, or one of $a, b$ lies between $c$ and $d$, then
$$\sqrt{(a+b)(c+d)} >\sqrt{ab} +\sqrt{cd}$$
and that otherwise, one can choose $a, b, c, d$ so that this inequality is false.
