The King gives the following task to his two wizards. The First Wizard should choose $7$ distinct positive integers with total sum $100$ and secretly submit them to the King. To the Second Wizard he should tell only the fourth largest number. The Second Wizard must figure out all the chosen numbers. Can the wizards succeed for sure? The wizards cannot discuss their strategy beforehand. (Mikhail Evdokimov)

Suppose $N\in \mathbb N$ is not a perfect square, hence we know that the continued fraction of $\sqrt{N}$ is of the form $\sqrt{N}=[a_0,\overline{a_1,a_2,...,a_n}]$. If $a_1\neq 1$ prove that $a_i\le 2a_0$.

Let $X$ be the intersection point of the circumcircles of $\triangle{ABC}$ and $\triangle{AB'C'}$($A \neq X$). Prove that $EF \parallel AX$.

When flipped, a coin has a probability $p$ of landing heads. When flipped twice, it is twice as likely to land on the same side both times as it is to land on each side once. What is the larger possible value of $p$?

There are some gas stations on a circular highway. The total amount of gasoline in them is enough for two laps. Two drivers want to refuel at one station and starting from it, go in different directions, both of them completing an entire lap. Along the way, they can refuel at other stations, without necessarily taking all the gasoline. Prove that drivers will always be able to do this. [i]Proposed by I. Bogdanov[/i]

Let $P$ be an interior point of a circle $\Gamma$ centered at $O$ where $P \ne O$. Let $A$ and $B$ be distinct points on $\Gamma$. Lines $AP$ and $BP$ meet $\Gamma$ again at $C$ and $D$, respectively. Let $S$ be any interior point on line segment $PC$. The circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABS$ intersects line segment $PD$ at $T$.

In a board, the positive integer $N$ is written. In each round, Olive can realize any one of the following operations: I - Switch the current number by a positive multiple of the current number. II - Switch the current number by a number with the same digits of the current number, but the digits are written in another order(leading zeros are allowed). For instance, if the current number is $2022$, Olive can write any of the following numbers $222,2202,2220$. Determine all the positive integers $N$, such that, Olive can write the number $1$ after a finite quantity of rounds.

A pentagon is formed by cutting a triangular corner from a rectangular piece of paper. The five sides of the pentagon have lengths $13,19,20,25$ and $31$, although this is not necessarily their order around the pentagon.

Fix a positive integer $n$ and a finite graph with at least one edge; the endpoints of each edge are distinct, and any two vertices are joined by at most one edge. Vertices and edges are assigned (not necessarily distinct) numbers in the range from $0$ to $n-1$, one number each. A vertex assignment and an edge assignment are [i]compatible[/i] if the following condition is satisfied at each vertex $v$: The number assigned to $v$ is congruent modulo $n$ to the sum of the numbers assigned to the edges incident to $v$. Fix a vertex assignment and let $N$ be the total number of compatible edge assignments; compatibility refers, of course, to the fixed vertex assignment. Prove that, if $N \neq 0$, then the prime divisors of $N$ are all at most $n$.

Let $k\ge 1$ be a positive integer. We consider $4k$ chips, $2k$ of which are red and $2k$ of which are blue. A sequence of those $4k$ chips can be transformed into another sequence by a so-called move, consisting of interchanging a number (possibly one) of consecutive red chips with an equal number of consecutive blue chips. For example, we can move from $r\underline{bb}br\underline{rr}b$ to $r\underline{rr}br\underline{bb}b$ where $r$ denotes a red chip and $b$ denotes a blue chip. Determine the smallest number $n$ (as a function of $k$) such that starting from any initial sequence of the $4k$ chips, we need at most $n$ moves to reach the state in which the first $2k$ chips are red.
