In each square of an $n \times n$ board with $n\ge 2$, an integer is written not null. Said board is called [i]Inca [/i] if for each square, the number written on it is equal to the difference of the numbers written on two of its neighboring squares (with a common side). For what values of $n$, can you get [i]Inca[/i] boards ?

The plan of a house has the shape of a capital $L$, obtained by suitably placing side-by-side four squares whose sides are $10$ metres long. The external walls of the house are $10$ metres high. The roof of the house has six faces, starting at the top of the six external walls, and each face forms an angle of $30^\circ$ with respect to a horizontal plane.
Determine the volume of the house (that is, of the solid delimited by the six external walls, the six faces of the roof, and the base of the house).

Each positive integer $a$ undergoes the following procedure in order to obtain the number $d = d\left(a\right)$:
(i) move the last digit of $a$ to the first position to obtain the numb er $b$;
(ii) square $b$ to obtain the number $c$;
(iii) move the first digit of $c$ to the end to obtain the number $d$.
(All the numbers in the problem are considered to be represented in base $10$.) For example, for $a=2003$, we get $b=3200$, $c=10240000$, and $d = 02400001 = 2400001 = d(2003)$.)
Find all numbers $a$ for which $d\left( a\right) =a^2$.

Define the numbers $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n$ in the following way:
\[ a_0 = \frac{1}{2}, \quad a_{k+1} = a_k + \frac{a^2_k}{n} \quad (n > 1, k = 0,1, \ldots, n-1). \]
Prove that \[ 1 - \frac{1}{n} < a_n < 1.\]

A transposition of a vector is created by switching exactly two entries of the vector. For example, $(1,5,3,4,2,6,7)$ is a transposition of $(1,2,3,4,5,6,7).$ Find the vector $X$ if $S=(0,0,1,1,0,1,1)$, $T=(0,0,1,1,1,1,0),$ $U=(1,0,1,0,1,1,0),$ and $V=(1,1,0,1,0,1,0)$ are all transpositions of $X$. Describe your method for finding $X.$

To each vertex of a regular pentagon an integer is assigned, so that the sum of all five numbers is positive. If three consecutive vertices are assigned the numbers $x,y,z$ respectively, and $y<0$, then the following operation is allowed: $x,y,z$ are replaced by $x+y,-y,z+y$ respectively. Such an operation is performed repeatedly as long as at least one of the five numbers is negative. Determine whether this procedure necessarily comes to an end after a finite number of steps.

For an olympiad geometry problem, Tina wants to draw an acute triangle whose angles each measure a multiple of $10^{\circ}$. She doesn't want her triangle to have any special properties, so none of the angles can measure $30^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$, and the triangle should definitely not be isosceles.
How many different triangles can Tina draw? (Similar triangles are considered the same.)
