One million [i]bucks [/i] (i.e. one million male deer) are in different cells of a $1000 \times 1000$ grid. The left and right edges of the grid are then glued together, and the top and bottom edges of the grid are glued together, so that the grid forms a doughnut-shaped torus. Furthermore, some of the bucks are [i]honest bucks[/i], who always tell the truth, and the remaining bucks are [i]dishonest bucks[/i], who never tell the truth.
Each of the million [i]bucks [/i] claims that “at most one of my neighboring bucks is an [i]honest buck[/i].” A pair of [i]neighboring bucks[/i] is said to be [i]buckaroo[/i] if exactly one of them is an [i]honest buck[/i] . What is the minimum possible number of [i]buckaroo [/i] pairs in the grid?
Note: Two [i]bucks [/i] are considered to be [i]neighboring [/i] if their cells $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ satisfy either:
$x_1 = x_2$ and $y_1 - y_2 \equiv \pm1$ (mod $1000$), or $x_1 - x_2 \equiv \pm 1$ (mod $1000$) and $y_1 = y_2$.

Inside an $11\times 11$ square, Pablo drew a rectangle and extending its sides divided the square into $5$ rectangles, as shown in the figure.

Sofía did the same, but she also managed to make the lengths of the sides of the $5$ rectangles be whole numbers between $1$ and $10$, all different. Show a figure like the one Sofia made.

Consider $\vartriangle ABC$ right at $B, F$ a point such that $B - F - C$ and $AF$ bisects $\angle BAC$, $I$ a point such that $A - I - F$ and CI bisect $\angle ACB$, and $E$ a point such that $A- E - C$ and $AF \perp EI$. If $AB = 4$ and $\frac{AI}{IF}={4}{3}$ , determine $AE$.
Notation: $A-B-C$ means than points $A,B,C$ are collinear in that order i.e. $ B$ lies between $ A$ and $C$.
Peter and Basil take turns drawing roads on a plane, Peter starts. The road is either horizontal or a vertical line along which one can drive in only one direction (that direction is determined when the road is drawn). Can Basil always act in such a way that after each of his moves one could drive according to the rules between any two constructed crossroads, regardless of Peter's actions?

Let p>3 be a prime and k>0 an integer. Find the multiplicity of X-1 in the factorization of
$ f(X)= X^{p^k-1}+X^{p^k-2}+\cdots+X+1$
modulo p;
in other words, find the unique non-negative integer r such that $ (X - 1)^r $ divides f(X)
\modulo p, but$ (X - 1)^{r+1} $does not divide f(X) \modulo p.

$A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8$ is a regular octagon. Let $P$ be a point inside the octagon such that the distances from $P$ to $A_1A_2, A_2A_3$ and $A_3A_4$ are $24, 26$ and $27$ respectively. The length of $A_1A_2$ can be written as $a \sqrt{b} -c$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by any square number other than $1$. What is the value of $(a+b+c)$?
In certain country, the coins have the following values: $2^0, 2^1, 2^2,\dots 2^{10}$. A cash machine has $1000$ coins of each value and give the money using each coin(of each value) at most once. The customers order all the positive integers: $1,2,3,4,5,\dots$ (in this order) in coins.
a) Determine the first integer, such that the cash machine cannot provide.
b) In the moment that the first customer can not be attended, by the lack of coins, what are the coins which are not available in the cash machine?
Let $\Omega$ be a circle with radius $18$ and let $\mathcal{S}$ be the region inside $\Omega$ that the centroid of $\triangle XYZ$ sweeps through as $X$ varies along all possible points lying outside of $\Omega$, $Y$ varies along all possible points lying on $\Omega$ and $XZ$ is tangent to the circle. Compute the greatest integer less than or equal to the area of $\mathcal{S}$.

On a whiteboard, the numbers $1$ to $9$ are written. Players $A$ and $B$ take turns, and $A$ is first. Each player in turn chooses one of the numbers on the whiteboard and removes it, along with all multiples (if any). The player who removes the last number loses.
Determine whether any of the players has a winning strategy, and explain why.

A point $A_0$ and two lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are given in the space. For each nonnegative integer $n$ we denote by $B_n$ the projection of $A_n$ on $d_2,$ and by $A_{n+1}$ the projection of $B_n$ on $d_1.$ Prove that there exist two segments $[A'A''] \subset d_1$ and $[B'B''] \subset d_2$ of length $0.001$ and a nonnegative integer $N$ such that $A_n \in [A'A'']$ and $B_n \in [B'B'']$ for any $n \ge N.$
Suppose that you are standing in the middle of a $100$ meter long bridge. You take a random sequence of steps either $1$ meter forward or $1$ meter backwards each iteration. At each step, if you are currently at meter $n$, you have a $\tfrac{n}{100}$ probability of $1$ meter forward, to meter $n+1$, and a $\tfrac{100-n}{100}$ of going $1$ meter backward, to meter $n-1$. What is the expected value of the number of steps it takes for you to step off the bridge (i.e., to get to meter $0$ or $100$)?
