For every positive integer $n$ let $S(n)$ be the sum of its digits. We say $n$ has a property $P$ if all terms in the infinite secuence $n, S(n), S(S(n)),...$ are even numbers, and we say $n$ has a property $I$ if all terms in this secuence are odd. Show that for, $1 \le n \le 2017$ there are more $n$ that have property $I$ than those who have $P$.

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of all points $(x,y)$ in the Cartesian plane such that $0\le y\le 8$ and $$(x-3)^2+31=(y-4)^2+8\sqrt{y(8-y)}.$$ There exists a unique line $\ell$ of [b]negative slope[/b] tangent to $\mathcal{G}$ and passing through the point $(0,4)$. Suppose $\ell$ is tangent to $\mathcal{G}$ at a [b]unique[/b] point $P$. Find the coordinates $(\alpha, \beta)$ of $P$.

2016 Rioplatense Mathematical Olympiad, Level 3, 1

Ana and Beto play against each other. Initially, Ana chooses a non-negative integer $N$ and announces it to Beto. Next Beto writes a succession of $2016$ numbers, $1008$ of them equal to $1$ and $1008$ of them equal to $-1$. Once this is done, Ana must split the succession into several blocks of consecutive terms (each term belonging to exactly one block), and calculate the sum of the numbers of each block. Finally, add the squares of the calculated numbers. If this sum is equal to $N$, Ana wins. If not, Beto wins. Determine all values of $N$ for which Ana can ensure victory, no matter how Beto plays.

Our class decides to have a alpha - beta - gamma tournament. This party game is always played in groups of three. Any possible combination of three players (three students or two students and the teacher) plays the game $1$ time. The player who wins gets $1$ point. The two losers get no points. At the end of the tournament, miraculously, all students have as many points. The teacher has $3$ points. How many students are there in our class?

Given $ n$ points arbitrarily in the plane $ P_{1},P_{2},\ldots,P_{n},$ among them no three points are collinear. Each of $ P_{i}$ ($1\le i\le n$) is colored red or blue arbitrarily. Let $ S$ be the set of triangles having $ \{P_{1},P_{2},\ldots,P_{n}\}$ as vertices, and having the following property: for any two segments $ P_{i}P_{j}$ and $ P_{u}P_{v},$ the number of triangles having $ P_{i}P_{j}$ as side and the number of triangles having $ P_{u}P_{v}$ as side are the same in $ S.$ Find the least $ n$ such that in $ S$ there exist two triangles, the vertices of each triangle having the same color.
