Divide the grid shown to the right into more than one region so that the following rules are satisfied. 1. Each unit square lies entirely within exactly 1 region. 2. Each region is a single piece connected by the edges of its unit squares. 3. Each region contains the same number of whole unit squares. 4. Each region contains the same sum of numbers. You do not need to prove that your configuration is the only one possible; you merely need to find a configuration that works. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

There is a queue of $n{}$ girls on one side of a tennis table, and a queue of $n{}$ boys on the other side. Both the girls and the boys are numbered from $1{}$ to $n{}$ in the order they stand. The first game is played by the girl and the boy with the number $1{}$ and then, after each game, the loser goes to the end of their queue, and the winner remains at the table. After a while, it turned out that each girl played exactly one game with each boy. Prove that if $n{}$ is odd, then a girl and a boy with odd numbers played in the last game. [i]Proposed by A. Gribalko[/i]

Jay is given a permutation $\{p_1, p_2,\ldots, p_8\}$ of $\{1, 2,\ldots, 8\}$. He may take two dividers and split the permutation into three non-empty sets, and he concatenates each set into a single integer. In other words, if Jay chooses $a,b$ with $1\le a< b< 8$, he will get the three integers $\overline{p_1p_2\ldots p_a}$, $\overline{p_{a+1}p_{a+2}\ldots p_{b}}$, and $\overline{p_{b+1}p_{b+2}\ldots p_8}$. Jay then sums the three integers into a sum $N=\overline{p_1p_2\ldots p_a}+\overline{p_{a+1}p_{a+2}\ldots p_b}+\overline{p_{b+1}p_{b+2}\ldots p_8}$. Find the smallest positive integer $M$ such that no matter what permutation Jay is given, he may choose two dividers such that $N\le M$. [i]Proposed by James Lin[/i]

In each square of a garden shaped like a $2022 \times 2022$ board, there is initially a tree of height $0$. A gardener and a lumberjack alternate turns playing the following game, with the gardener taking the first turn: [list] [*] The gardener chooses a square in the garden. Each tree on that square and all the surrounding squares (of which there are at most eight) then becomes one unit taller. [*] The lumberjack then chooses four different squares on the board. Each tree of positive height on those squares then becomes one unit shorter. [/list] We say that a tree is [i]majestic[/i] if its height is at least $10^6$. Determine the largest $K$ such that the gardener can ensure there are eventually $K$ majestic trees on the board, no matter how the lumberjack plays.

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and Megavan has a $(3n+1)\times (3n+1)$ board. All squares, except one, are tiled by non-overlapping $1\times 3$ triominoes. In each step, he can choose a triomino that is untouched in the step right before it, and then shift this triomino horizontally or vertically by one square, as long as the triominoes remain non-overlapping after this move. Show that there exist some $k$, such that after $k$ moves Megavan can no longer make any valid moves irregardless of the initial configuration, and find the smallest possible $k$ for each $n$. [i](Note: While he cannot undo a move immediately before the current step, he may still choose to move a triomino that has already been moved at least two steps before.)[/i] [i]Proposed by Ivan Chan Kai Chin[/i]

There are three bags. One bag contains three green candies and one red candy. One bag contains two green candies and two red candies. One bag contains one green candy and three red candies. A child randomly selects one of the bags, randomly chooses a first candy from that bag, and eats the candy. If the first candy had been green, the child randomly chooses one of the other two bags and randomly selects a second candy from that bag. If the first candy had been red, the child randomly selects a second candy from the same bag as the first candy. If the probability that the second candy is green is given by the fraction $m/n$ in lowest terms, find $m + n$.
