A and B are friends at a summer school. When B asks A for his address, he answers: "My house is on XYZ street, and my house number is a 3-digit number with distinct digits, and if you permute its digits, you will have other 5 numbers. The interesting thing is that the sum of these 5 numbers is exactly 2017. That's all.". After a while, B can determine A's house number. And you, can you find his house number?
Prove that, for any natural number $n$, the expression $$A = 2903^n-803^n-464^n+261^n$$ is divisible by $1897$.
As shown in the figure, triangle $ABC$ is divided into six smaller triangles by lines drawn from the vertices through a common interior point. The areas of four of these triangles are as indicated. Find the area of triangle $ABC$. [asy] size(200); pair A=origin, B=(14,0), C=(9,12), D=foot(A, B,C), E=foot(B, A, C), F=foot(C, A, B), H=orthocenter(A, B, C); draw(F--C--A--B--C^^A--D^^B--E); label("$A$", A, SW); label("$B$", B, SE); label("$C$", C, N); label("84", centroid(H, C, E), fontsize(9.5)); label("35", centroid(H, B, D), fontsize(9.5)); label("30", centroid(H, F, B), fontsize(9.5)); label("40", centroid(H, A, F), fontsize(9.5));[/asy]
A [i]palindrome[/i], such as $ 83438$, is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. The numbers $ x$ and $ x \plus{} 32$ are three-digit and four-digit palindromes, respectively. What is the sum of the digits of x? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 20\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 21\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 22\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 23\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 24$
Ivan and Krešo started to travel from Crikvenica to Kraljevica, whose distance is $15$ km, and at the same time Marko started from Kraljevica to Crikvenica. Each of them can go either walking at a speed of $5$ km/h, or by bicycle with the speed of $15$ km/h. Ivan started walking, and Krešo was driving a bicycle until meeting Marko. Then Krešo gave the bicycle to Marko and continued walking to Kraljevica, while Marko continued to Crikvenica by bicycle. When Marko met Ivan, he gave him the bicycle and continued on foot, so Ivan arrived at Kraljevica by bicycle. Find, for each of them, the time he spent in travel as well as the time spent in walking.

Given a figure $B$ in the plane, consider the figures $A$, containing $\mathcal B$, with the property [i]$(P)$: a composition of an odd number of central symmetries with centers in $A$ is also a central symmetry with center in $A$.[/i] The task of this problem is to determine the smallest such figure, denoted by $\mathcal A$, that is contained in every figure $A$. (a) Determine the figure $\mathcal A$ if $B$ consists of: $(1)$ two distinct points $I,J$; $(2)$ three non-collinear points $I,J,K$. (b) Determine $\mathcal A$ if $B$ is a circle (with nonzero radius). (c) Give some examples of figures $B$ whose associated figures $\mathcal A$ are mutually distinct and distinct from the above ones.
An $n\times n$ table whose cells are numerated with numbers $1, 2,\cdots, n^2$ in some order is called [i]Naissus[/i] if all products of $n$ numbers written in $n$ [i]scattered[/i] cells give the same residue when divided by $n^2+1$. Does there exist a Naissus table for $(a) n = 8;$ $(b) n = 10?$ ($n$ cells are [i]scattered[/i] if no two are in the same row or column.) [i]Proposed by Marko Djikic[/i]

For any two positive real numbers $x_0 > 0$, $x_1 > 0$, a sequence of real numbers is defined recursively by $$x_{n+1} =\frac{4 \max\{x_n, 4\}}{x_{n-1}}$$ for $n \ge 1$. Find $x_{2010}$.
