Define the Fibanocci sequence recursively by $F_1=1$, $F_2=1$ and $F_{i+2} = F_i + F_{i+1}$ for all $i$. Prove that for all integers $b,c>1$, there exists an integer $n$ such that the sum of the digits of $F_n$ when written in base $b$ is greater than $c$. [i]Proposed by Ryan Alweiss[/i]
a)Prove that for every n,natural number exist natural numbers a and b such that $(1-\sqrt{2})^n=a-b\sqrt{2}$ and $a^2-2b^2=(-1)^n$ b)Using first equation prove that for every n exist m such that $(\sqrt{2}-1)^n=\sqrt{m}-\sqrt{m-1}$
There are $40$ members of jury, that want to choose problem for contest. There are list with $30$ problems. They want to find such problem, that can be solved at least half members , but not all. Every member solved $26$ problems, and every two members solved different sets of problems. Prove, that they can find problem for contest.

There is a square of checkered paper measuring $102 \times 102$ squares and a connected figure of unknown shape, consisting of 101 cells. What is the largest number of such figures that can be cut from this square with a guarantee? A figure made up of cells is called [i]connected [/i] if any two its cells can be connected by a chain of its cells in which any two adjacent cells have a common side.
Six free cells are given in a row. Players $A$ and $B$ alternately write digits from $0$ to $9$ in empty cells, with $A$ starting. When all the cells are filled, one considers the obtained six-digit number $z$. Player $B$ wins if $z$ is divisible by a given natural number $n$, and loses otherwise. For which values of $n$ not exceeding $20$ can $B$ win independently of his opponent’s moves?
Show that there are infinitely many odd positive integers $n$ such that in binary $n$ has more $1$s than $n^2$.
We say that a set $S$ of integers is [i]rootiful[/i] if, for any positive integer $n$ and any $a_0, a_1, \cdots, a_n \in S$, all integer roots of the polynomial $a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n$ are also in $S$. Find all rootiful sets of integers that contain all numbers of the form $2^a - 2^b$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$.
