The figure below shows a hexagonal net formed by many congruent equilateral triangles. Taking turns, Gabriel and Arnaldo play a game as follows. On his turn, the player colors in a segment, including the endpoints, following these three rules:
i) The endpoints must coincide with vertices of the marked equilateral triangles.
ii) The segment must be made up of one or more of the sides of the triangles.
iii) The segment cannot contain any point (endpoints included) of a previously colored segment.
Gabriel plays first, and the player that cannot make a legal move loses. Find a winning strategy and describe it.
Let $D=\{ (x,y)|x^2+y^2\le \pi \}$. Find $\iint\limits_D(sin x^2cosx^2+x\sqrt{x^2+y^2})dxdy$.
A number is called [i]good[/i] if it can be written as the sum of the squares of three consecutive positive integers. A number is called excellent if it can be written as the sum of the squares of four consecutive positive integers. (For instance, $14 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2$ is good and $30 =1^2 +2^2 +3^2+4^2$ is excellent.) A good number $G$ is called [i]splendid[/i] if there exists an excellent number $E$ such that $3G-E = 2025.$ If the sum of all splendid numbers is $S,$ find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000.$
The diagram shows a parabola, a line perpendicular to the parabola's axis of symmetry, and three similar isosceles triangles each with a base on the line and vertex on the parabola. The two smaller triangles are congruent and each have one base vertex on the parabola and one base vertex shared with the larger triangle. The ratio of the height of the larger triangle to the height of the smaller triangles is $\tfrac{a+\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers, and $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime. Find $a + b + c$.

Point $M$ is chosen in triangle $ABC$ so that the radii of the circumcircles of triangles $AMC, BMC$, and $BMA$ are no smaller than the radius of the circumcircle of $ABC$. Prove that all four radii are equal.

A boy goes $n$ times at a merry-go-round with $n$ seats. After every time he moves in the clockwise direction and takes another seat, not making a full circle. The number of seats he passes by at each move is called the length of the move. For which $n$ can he sit at every seat, if the lengths of all the $n-1$ moves he makes have different lengths?

Find all differentiable functions $f, g:[0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ and the real constant $k\geq 0$ such that
\begin{align*} f(x) &=k+ \int_0^x \frac{g(t)}{f(t)}dt \\

and $f(0)=k, f'(0)=-k^2/3$ and also $f(x)\neq 0$ for all $x\geq 0$.\\ \\

A positive integer $n$ is [i] tripariable [/i] if it is possible to partition the set $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ into disjoint pairs such that the sum of two elements in each pair is a power of $3$. For example $6$ is tripariable because $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}=\{1,2\}\cup\{3,6\}\cup\{4,5\}$ and $$1+2=3^1,\quad 3+6 = 3^2\quad\text{and}\quad4+5=3^2$$ are all powers of 3.
How many positive integers less than or equal to 2024 are tripariable?
$3n$ people forming $n$ families of a mother, a father and a child, stand in a circle. Every two neighbours can exchange places except the case when a parent exchanges places with his/her child (this is forbidden). For what $n$ is it possible to obtain every arrangement of those people by such
exchanges? The arrangements differing by a circular shift are considered distinct.

Given two positive integers $m,n$, we say that a function $f : [0,m] \to \mathbb{R}$ is $(m,n)$-[i]slippery[/i] if it has the following properties:
i) $f$ is continuous;
ii) $f(0) = 0$, $f(m) = n$;
iii) If $t_1, t_2\in [0,m]$ with $t_1 < t_2$ are such that $t_2-t_1\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $f(t_2)-f(t_1)\in\mathbb{Z}$, then $t_2-t_1 \in \{0,m\}$.
Find all the possible values for $m, n$ such that there is a function $f$ that is $(m,n)$-slippery.
