From all possible permutations from $(a_1,a_2,...,a_n)$ from the set $\{1,2,..,n\}$, $n\geq 1$, consider the sets that satisfies the $2(a_1+a_2+...+a_m)$ is divisible by $m$, for every $m=1,2,...,n$. Find the total number of permutations.

Let $n \ge 2$ be a positive integer. Each square of an $n\times n$ board is coloured red or blue. We put dominoes on the board, each covering two squares of the board. A domino is called [i]even [/i] if it lies on two red or two blue squares and [i]colourful [/i] if it lies on a red and a blue square. Find the largest positive integer $k$ having the following property: regardless of how the red/blue-colouring of the board is done, it is always possible to put $k$ non-overlapping dominoes on the board that are either all [i]even [/i] or all [i]colourful[/i].

Let $S$ be the set of integers modulo $2020$. Suppose that $a_1,a_2,...,a_{2020},b_1,b_2,...,b_{2020}, c$ are arbitrary elements of $S$. For any $x_1,x_2,...,x_{2020}\in S$, define $f(x_1,x_2,...,x_{2020})$ to be the $2020$-tuple whose $i$th coordinate is $x_{i-2} + a_i x_{2019} + b_ix_{2020} + cx_i$, where we set $x_{-1}=x_0=0$. Let $m$ be the smallest positive integer such that, for some values of $a_1,a_2,...,a_{2020},b_1,b_2,...,b_{2020}, c$, we have, for all $x_1,x_2,...,x_{2020}\in S$, that $f^m (x_1, x_2, ..., x_{2020} ) = (0,0,...,0)$ . For this value of $m$, there are exactly $n$ choices of the tuple $(a_1,a_2,...,a_{2020},b_1,b_2,...,b_{2020},c)$ such that, for all $x_1,x_2,...,x_{2020}\in S$, $f^m (x_1, x_2, ..., x_{2020} ) = (0,0,...,0)$. Compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Vincent Huang[/i]

For a finite nonempty set $A$ of positive integers, $A =\{a_1, a_2,\dots , a_n\}$, we say the calamitous complement of A is the set of all positive integers $k$ for which there do not exist nonnegative integers $w_1, w_2, \dots , w_n$ with $k = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 +\dots + a_nw_n.$ The calamitous complement of $A$ is denoted $cc(A)$. For example, $cc(\{5, 6, 9\}) = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13\}$. Find all pairs of positive integers $a, b$ with $1 < a < b$ for which there exists a set $G$ satisfying all of the following properties: 1. $G$ is a set of at most three positive integers, 2. $cc(\{a, b\})$ and $cc(G)$ are both finite sets, and 3. $cc(G) = cc(\{a, b\})\cup \{m\}$ for some $m$ not in $cc(\{a, b\})$.

Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each divided into $n$ congruent segments, and the endpoints of one segment are joined to the center to form triangle $A$. The other sides are each divided into $m$ congruent segments, and the endpoints of one of these segments are joined to the center to form triangle $B$. [See figure for $n = 5, m = 7$.] What is the ratio of the area of triangle $A$ to the area of triangle $B$?

We say that a positive integer $n$ is $m$[i]-expressible[/i] if it is possible to get $n$ from some $m$ digits and the six operations $+,-,\times,\div$, exponentiation $^\wedge$, and concatenation $\oplus$. For example, $5625$ is $3$-expressible (in two ways): both $5\oplus (5^\wedge 4)$ and $(7\oplus 5)^\wedge 2$ yield $5625$. Does there exist a positive integer $N$ such that all positive integers with $N$ digits are $(N-1)$-expressible? [i]Proposed by Krit Boonsiriseth[/i]

Tony's favorite "sport" is a spectator event known as the $\textit{Super Mega Ultra Galactic Thumbwrestling Championship}$ (SMUG TWC). During the $2008$ SMUG TWC, $2008$ professional thumb-wrestlers who have dedicated their lives to earning lithe, powerful thumbs, compute to earn the highest title of $\textit{Thumbzilla}$. The SMUG TWC is designed so that, in the end, any set of three participants can share a banana split while telling FOX$^\text{TM}$ television reporters about a bout between some pair of the three contestants. Given that there are exactly two contestants in each bout, let $m$ be the minimum bumber of bouts necessary to complete the SMUG TWC (so that the contestants can enjoy their banana splits and chat with reporters). Compute $m$.

For a positive integer $n$ let $S(n)$ be the sum of digits in the decimal representation of $n$. Any positive integer obtained by removing several (at least one) digits from the right-hand end of the decimal representation of $n$ is called a [i]stump[/i] of $n$. Let $T(n)$ be the sum of all stumps of $n$. Prove that $n=S(n)+9T(n)$.
