Let $p$ be an odd prime. A degree $d$ polynomial $f$ with non-negative integer coefficients less than $p$ is called $p-floppy$ if the coefficients of $f(x)f(-x) - f(x^2)$ are all divisible by $p$ and if exactly $d$ entries in the sequence $(f(0), f(1), f(2), \dots , f(p-1))$ are divisible by $p$. How many non-constant $61$-floppy polynomials are there?

A set of $n$ lines are said to be in [i]standard form[/i] if no two are parallel and no three are concurrent. Does there exist a value of $k$ such that given any $n$ lines in [i]standard form[/i], it is possible to colour the regions bounded by the $n$ lines using $k$ colours in such a way that no two regions of the same colour share a common intersection point of the $n$ lines?

$ a)$ Two players play a cooperative game. They can discuss a strategy prior to the game, however, they cannot communicate and have no information about the other player during the game. The game master chooses one of the players in each round. The player on turn has to guess the number of the current round. Players keep note of the number of rounds they were chosen, however, they have no information about the other player's rounds. If the player's guess is correct, the players are awarded a point. Player's are not notified whether they've scored or not. The players win the game upon collecting 100 points. Does there exist a strategy with which they can surely win the game in a finite number of rounds? $b)$ How does this game change, if in each round the player on turn has two guesses instead of one, and they are awarded a point if one of the guesses is correct (while keeping all the other rules of the game the same)?

Let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $ABC$. Define $O_{A0} = O_{B0} = O_{C0} = O$. Recursively, define $O_{An}$ to be the circumcenter of $\vartriangle BO_{A(n-1)}C$. Similarly define $O_{Bn}, O_{Cn}$. Find all $n \ge 1$ so that for any triangle $ABC$ such that $O_{An}, O_{Bn}, O_{Cn}$ all exist, it is true that $AO_{An}, BO_{Bn}, CO_{Cn}$ are concurrent. (Li4)
