For a positive integer $n$, denote $p(n)$ to be the number of nonnegative integer tuples $(x,y,z,w)$ such that $x+2y+2z+3w=n$. Also, denote $q(n)$ to be the number of nonnegative integer tuples $(a,b,c,d)$ such that
(i) $a+b+c+d=n$
(ii) $a \ge b \ge d$
(iii) $a \ge c \ge d$
Prove that for all $n$, $p(n) = q(n)$.

We say that the set of step lengths $D\subset \mathbb{Z}_+=\{1,2,\ldots\}$ is [i]excellent[/i] if it has the following property: If we split the set of integers into two subsets $A$ and $\mathbb{Z}\setminus{A}$, at least other set contains element $a-d,a,a+d$ (i.e. $\{a-d,a,a+d\} \subset A$ or $\{a-d,a,a+d\}\in \mathbb{Z}\setminus A$ from some integer $a\in \mathbb{Z},d\in D$.) For example the set of one element $\{1\}$ is not excellent as the set of integer can be split into even and odd numbers, and neither of these contains three consecutive integer. Show that the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ is excellent but it has no proper subset which is excellent.

Let $ n>1$ and for $ 1 \leq k \leq n$ let $ p_k \equal{} p_k(a_1, a_2, . . . , a_n)$ be the sum of the products of all possible combinations of k of the numbers $ a_1,a_2,...,a_n$. Furthermore let $ P \equal{} P(a_1, a_2, . . . , a_n)$ be the sum of all $ p_k$ with odd values of $ k$ less than or equal to $ n$.
How many different values are taken by $ a_j$ if all the numbers $ a_j (1 \leq j \leq n)$ and $ P$ are prime?

We call a subset $B$ of natural numbers [i]loyal[/i] if there exists natural numbers $i\le j$ such that $B=\{i,i+1,\ldots,j\}$. Let $Q$ be the set of all [i]loyal[/i] sets. For every subset $A=\{a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\}$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ we set
\[f(A)=\max_{1\le i \le k-1}{a_{i+1}-a_i}\qquad\text{and}\qquad g(A)=\max_{B\subseteq A, B\in Q} |B|.\] Furthermore, we define \[F(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} f(A)\qquad\text{and}\qquad G(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} g(A).\] Prove that there exists $m\in \mathbb N$ such that for each natural number $n>m$ we have $F(n)>G(n)$. (By $|A|$ we mean the number of elements of $A$, and if $|A|\le 1$, we define $f(A)$ to be zero).

2014 Taiwan TST Round 3, 2
Alice and Bob play the following game. They alternate selecting distinct nonzero digits (from $1$ to $9$) until they have chosen seven such digits, and then consider the resulting seven-digit number by concatenating the digits in the order selected, with the seventh digit appearing last (i.e. $\overline{A_1B_2A_3B_4A_6B_6A_7}$). Alice wins if and only if the resulting number is the last seven decimal digits of some perfect seventh power. Please determine which player has the winning strategy.

A total of $2010$ coins are distributed in $5$ boxes. At the beginning the quantities of coins in the boxes are consecutive natural numbers. Martha should choose and take one of the boxes, but before that she can do the following transformation finitely many times: from a box with at least 4 coins she can transfer one coin to each of the other boxes.
What is the maximum number of coins that Martha can take away?

In a Greek village of $100$ inhabitants in the beginning there lived $12$ Olympians and $88$ humans, they were the first generation. The Olympians are $100\%$ gods while humans are $0\%$ gods. In each generation they formed $50$ couples and each couple had $2$ children, who form the next generation (also consisting of $100$ members). From the second generation onwards, every person’s percentage of godness is the average of the percentages of his/her parents’ percentages. (For example the children of $25\%$ and $12.5\% $gods are $18.75\%$ gods.)
a) Which is the earliest generation in which it is possible that there are equally many $100\%$ gods as $ 0\%$ gods?
b) At most how many members of the fifth generation are at least 25% gods?

A triangular pyramid $ O.ABC$ with base $ ABC$ has the property that the lengths of the altitudes from $ A$, $ B$ and $ C$ are not less than $ \frac{OB \plus{}OC}{2}$, $ \frac{OC \plus{} OA}{2}$ and $ \frac{OA \plus{} OB}{2}$, respectively. Given that the area of $ ABC$ is $ S$, calculate the volume of the pyramid.

Kelvin the Frog and $10$ of his relatives are at a party. Every pair of frogs is either [i]friendly[/i] or [i]unfriendly[/i]. When $3$ pairwise friendly frogs meet up, they will gossip about one another and end up in a [i]fight[/i] (but stay [i]friendly[/i] anyway). When $3$ pairwise unfriendly frogs meet up, they will also end up in a [i]fight[/i]. In all other cases, common ground is found and there is no fight. If all $\binom{11}{3}$ triples of frogs meet up exactly once, what is the minimum possible number of fights?
