Given $2009 \times 4018$ rectangular board. Frame is a rectangle $n \times n$ or $n \times(n + 2)$ for $ ( n \geq 3 )$ without all cells which don’t have any common points with boundary of rectangle. Rectangles $1\times1,1\times 2,1\times 3$ and $ 2\times 4$ are also frames. Two players by turn paint all cells of some frame that has no painted cells yet. Player that can't make such move loses.

Here is a problem we (me and my colleagues) suggested and was given at the competition this year. The problem statement is very natural and short. However, we have not seen such a problem before. A real $2024 \times 2024$ matrix $A$ is called nice if $(Av, v) = 1$ for every vector $v\in \mathbb{R}^{2024}$ with unit norm. a) Prove that the only nice matrix such that all of its eigenvalues are real is the identity matrix. b) Find an example of a nice non-identity matrix

Let $D_{1}, D_{2}, . . . , D_{n}$ be rectangular parallelepipeds in space, with edges parallel to the $x, y, z$ axes. For each $D_{i}$, let $x_{i} , y_{i} , z_{i}$ be the lengths of its projections onto the $x, y, z$ axes, respectively. Suppose that for all pairs $D_{i}$ , $D_{j}$, if at least one of $x_{i} < x_{j}$ , $y_{i} < y_{j}$, $z_{i} < z_{j}$ holds, then $x_{i} \leq x_{j}$ , $y_{i} \leq y_{j}$, and $z_{i} < z_{j}$ .

Rumburak kidnapped $31$ members of party $A$ , $28$ members of party $B$, $23$ members of party $C$, $19$ members of Party $D$ and each of them in a separate cell. After work out occasionally they could walk in the yard and talk. Once three people started to talk to each other members of three different parties, Rumburak re-registered them to the fourth party as a punishment.(They never talked to each other more than three kidnapped.) a) Could it be that after some time all were abducted by members of one party? Which? b) Determine all four positive integers of which the sum is $101$ and which as the numbers of kidnapped members of the four parties allow the Rumburaks all of them became members of one party over time.

A hilly island has $2023$ lookouts. It is known that each of them is in line of sight with at least $42$ of the other lookouts. For any two distinct lookouts $X$ and $Y$ there is a positive integer $n$ and lookouts $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{n+1}$ such that $A_1=X$ and $A_{n+1}=Y$ and $A_1$ is in line of sight with $A_2$, $A_2$ with $A_3$, $\dots$ and $A_n$ with $A_{n+1}$. The smallest such number $n$ is called the [i]viewing distance[/i] of $X$ and $Y$. Determine the largest possible viewing distance that can exist between two lookouts under these conditions.

Two positive integers are written on the blackboard. Initially, one of them is $2000$ and the other is smaller than $2000$. If the arithmetic mean $ m$ of the two numbers on the blackboard is an integer, the following operation is allowed: one of the two numbers is erased and replaced by $ m$. Prove that this operation cannot be performed more than ten times. Give an example where the operation is performed ten times.
