Determine all positive integers $k$ for which there exist functions $f:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ and $g: \mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$ such that $g$ assumes infinitely many values and such that $$ f^{g(n)}(n)=f(n)+k$$ holds for every positive integer $n$.

$\bullet$ $a$ gives remainder $2$ when divided by $b$,

Let $\gamma,\Gamma$ be two concentric circles with radii $r,R$ with $r<R$. Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in $\gamma$. If $\overrightarrow{AB}$ denotes the Ray starting from $A$ and extending indefinitely in $B's$ direction then Let $\overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{BC}, \overrightarrow{CD} , \overrightarrow{DA}$ meet $\Gamma$ at the points $C_1,D_1,A_1,B_1$ respectively. Prove that
\[\frac{[A_1B_1C_1D_1]}{[ABCD]} \ge \frac{R^2}{r^2}\]

In the following, a [i]word[/i] will mean a finite sequence of letters "$a$" and "$b$". The [i]length[/i] of a word will mean the number of the letters of the word. For instance, $abaab$ is a word of length $5$. There exists exactly one word of length $0$, namely the empty word.
A word $w$ of length $\ell$ consisting of the letters $x_1$, $x_2$, ..., $x_{\ell}$ in this order is called a [i]palindrome[/i] if and only if $x_j=x_{\ell+1-j}$ holds for every $j$ such that $1\leq j\leq\ell$. For instance, $baaab$ is a palindrome; so is the empty word.
For two words $w_1$ and $w_2$, let $w_1w_2$ denote the word formed by writing the word $w_2$ directly after the word $w_1$. For instance, if $w_1=baa$ and $w_2=bb$, then $w_1w_2=baabb$.
Let $r$, $s$, $t$ be nonnegative integers satisfying $r + s = t + 2$. Prove that there exist palindromes $A$, $B$, $C$ with lengths $r$, $s$, $t$, respectively, such that $AB=Cab$, if and only if the integers $r + 2$ and $s - 2$ are coprime.
There are $2022$ equally spaced points on a circular track $\gamma$ of circumference $2022$. The points are labeled $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{2022}$ in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at $A_1$. She hops along $\gamma$ from $A_1$ to $A_2$, then from $A_2$ to $A_3$, until she reaches $A_{2022}$, after which she hops back to $A_1$. When hopping from $P$ to $Q$, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs $\widehat{PQ}$ of $\gamma$; if $\overline{PQ}$ is a diameter of $\gamma$, she moves along either semicircle.
Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the $2022$ arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the $2022$ points.

Let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{PQ}$. Prove that, if $\angle BRP$ $ =$ $ \angle PRC$ then $MR=MC$.
Call a year [i]ultra-even[/i] if all of its digits are even. Thus $2000,2002,2004,2006$, and $2008$ are all [i]ultra-even[/i] years. They are all $2$ years apart, which is the shortest possible gap. $2009$ is not an [i]ultra-even[/i] year because of the $9$, and $2010$ is not an ultra-even year because of the $1$.
(a) In the years between the years $1$ and $10000$, what is the longest possible gap between two [i]ultra-even[/i] years? Give an example of two ultra-even years that far apart with no [i]ultra-even[/i] years between them. Justify your answer.
(b) What is the second-shortest possible gap (that is, the shortest gap longer than $2$ years) between two [i]ultra-even[/i] years? Again, give an example, and justify your answer.

A friction-less board has the shape of an equilateral triangle of side length $1$ meter with bouncing walls along the sides. A tiny super bouncy ball is fired from vertex $A$ towards the side $BC$. The ball bounces off the walls of the board nine times before it hits a vertex for the first time. The bounces are such that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The distance travelled by the ball in meters is of the form $\sqrt{N}$, where $N$ is an integer. What is the value of $N$ ?
