Given a real number $x$, define the series \[ S(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \{n! \cdot x\}, \] where $\{s\} = s - \lfloor s \rfloor$ is the fractional part of the number $s$. Determine if there exists an irrational number $x$ for which the series $S(x)$ converges.

High school graduate Igor Petrov, who dreamed of becoming a diplomat, took the entrance exam in mathematics to Moscow University. Igor remembered all the problems offered during the exam, but forgot some numerical data in one. This is the task: “When multiplying two natural numbers, the difference of which is $10$, an error was made: the hundreds digit in the product was increased by $2$. When dividing the resulting (incorrect) product by the smaller of the factors, the result was quotient $k$ and remainder $r$.. Find the numbers that needed to be multiplied.” . The values of $k$ and $r$ were given in the condition, but Igor forgot them. However, he remembered that the problem had two answers. What could the numbers $ k$ and $r$ be equal to (they are both integers and positive)? [i]Note. The problem in question was proposed at one of the humanities faculties of Moscow State University in 1991. [/i]

Let $K > 0$ be an integer. An integer $k \in [0,K]$ is randomly chosen. A sequence of integers is defined starting on $k$ and ending on $0$, where each nonzero term $t$ is followed by $t$ minus the largest Lucas number not exceeding $t$. The probability that $4$, $5$, or $6$ is in this sequence approaches $\tfrac{a - b \sqrt c}{d}$ for arbitrarily large $K$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, are positive integers, $\gcd(a,b,d) = 1$, and $c$ is squarefree. Find $a + b + c + d$. [i](Lucas numbers are defined as the members of the infinite integer sequence $2$, $1$, $3$, $4$, $7$, $\ldots$ where each term is the sum of the two before it.)[/i] [i]Proposed by Evan Chang[/i]

[b]p1.[/b] Show that for every $n \ge 6$, a square in the plane may be divided into $n$ smaller squares, not necessarily all of the same size. [b]p2.[/b] Let $n$ be the $4018$-digit number $111... 11222...2225$, where there are $2008$ ones and $2009$ twos. Prove that $n$ is a perfect square. (Giving the square root of $n$ is not sufficient. You must also prove that its square is $n$.) [b]p3.[/b] Let $n$ be a positive integer. A game is played as follows. The game begins with $n$ stones on the table. The two players, denoted Player I and Player II (Player I goes first), alternate in removing from the table a nonzero square number of stones. (For example, if $n = 26$ then in the first turn Player I can remove $1$ or $4$ or $9$ or $16$ or $25$ stones.) The player who takes the last stone wins. Determine if the following sentence is TRUE or FALSE and prove your answer: There are infinitely many starting values n such that Player II has a winning strategy. (Saying that Player II has a winning strategy means that no matter how Player I plays, Player II can respond with moves that lead to a win for Player II.) [b]p4.[/b] Consider a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$. Divide side $AB$ into $8$ equal segments $AP_1$, $P_1P_2$, $...$ , $P_7B$. Divide side $DC$ into $8$ equal segments $DQ_1$, $Q_1Q_2$, $...$ , $Q_7C$. Similarly, divide each of sides $AD$ and $BC$ into $8$ equal segments. Draw lines to form an $8 \times 8$ “checkerboard” as shown in the picture. Color the squares alternately black and white. (a) Show that each of the $7$ interior lines $P_iQ_i$ is divided into $8$ equal segments. (b) Show that the total area of the black regions equals the total area of the white regions.

There is a power of $10$ that has exactly $2008$ digits in base $2$. B. There is a power of $10$ that has exactly $2008$ digits in base $5$. PS. You should use hide for answers.
