Let $x_n$ be the $n$-th non-square positive integer. Thus $x_1=2, x_2=3, x_3=5, x_4=6,$ etc. For a positive real number $x$, denotes the integer closest to it by $\langle x\rangle$. If $x=m+0.5$, where $m$ is an integer, then define $\langle x\rangle=m$. For example, $\langle 1.2\rangle =1, \langle 2.8 \rangle =3, \langle 3.5\rangle =3$. Show that $x_n=n+\langle \sqrt{n}\rangle$

Two players play a game with a pile of $N$ coins on a table. On a player's turn, if there are $n$ coins, the player can take at most $n/2+1$ coins, and must take at least one coin. The player who grabs the last coin wins. For how many values of $N$ between $1$ and $100$ (inclusive) does the first player have a winning strategy?
$ABC$ is an acute isosceles triangle $(AB=AC)$ and $CD$ one altitude. Circle $C_2(C,CD)$ meets $AC$ at $K$, $AC$ produced at $Z$ and circle $C_1(B, BD)$ at $E$. $DZ$ meets circle $(C_1)$ at $M$. Show that:

The Bank of Bath issues coins with an $H$ on one side and a $T$ on the other. Harry has $n$ of these coins arranged in a line from left to right. He repeatedly performs the following operation: if there are exactly $k>0$ coins showing $H$, then he turns over the $k$th coin from the left; otherwise, all coins show $T$ and he stops. For example, if $n=3$ the process starting with the configuration $THT$ would be $THT \to HHT \to HTT \to TTT$, which stops after three operations.
(a) Show that, for each initial configuration, Harry stops after a finite number of operations.
(b) For each initial configuration $C$, let $L(C)$ be the number of operations before Harry stops. For example, $L(THT) = 3$ and $L(TTT) = 0$. Determine the average value of $L(C)$ over all $2^n$ possible initial configurations $C$.

In each cell of a table $8\times 8$ lives a knight or a liar. By the tradition, the knights always say the truth and the liars always lie. All the inhabitants of the table say the following statement "The number of liars in my column is (strictly) greater than the number of liars in my row". Determine how many possible configurations are compatible with the statement.
