We call number as funny if it divisible by sum its digits $+1$.(for example $ 1+2+1|12$ ,so $12$ is funny) What is maximum number of consecutive funny numbers ? [i] O. Podlipski [/i]
$P$ is a point on the base of an isosceles triangle. Lines parallel to the sides through $P$ meet the sides at $Q$ and $R$. Show that the reflection of $P$ in the line $QR$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle.

Some $n > 2$ lamps are cyclically connected: lamp $1$ with lamp $2$, ... , lamp $k$ with $k+1$, ... , lamp $n$ with lamp $1$. At the beginning, all lamps are off. When one pushes the switch of a lamp, that lamp and the two ones connected to it change status (from off to on, or vice-versa). Determine the number of configurations of lamps reachable from the initial one, through some set of switches being pushed.
In the bottom-left corner of a chessboard (with 8 rows and 8 columns), there is a king. Marius and Alexandru play a game, with Alexandru going first. On their turn, each player moves the king either one square to the right, one square up, or one square diagonally up-right. The player who moves the king to the top-right corner square wins. Who will win if both players play optimally?
