The ship [i]Meridiano do Bacalhau[/i] does its fishing business during $64$ days. Each day the capitain chooses a direction which may be either north or south and the ship sails that direction in that day. On the first day of business the ship sails $1$ mile, on the second day sails $2$ miles; generally, on the $n$-th day it sails $n$ miles. After of the $64$-th day, the ship was $2014$ miles north from its initial position. What is the greatest number of days that the ship could have sailed south?

Let $k$ be a positive integer, and let $s(n)$ denote the sum of the digits of $n$. Show that among the positive integers with $k$ digits, there are as many numbers $n$ satisfying $s(n) < s(2n)$ as there are numbers $n$ satisfying $s(n) > s(2n)$.

Anja and Bernd take turns in removing stones from a heap, initially consisting of $n$ stones ($n \ge 2$). Anja begins, removing at least one but not all the stones. Afterwards, in each turn the player has to remove at least one stone and at most as many stones as removed in the preceding move. The player removing the last stone wins. Depending on the value of $n$, which player can ensure a win?

A dot-trapezium consists of several rows of dots such that each row contains one more dot than the row immediately above (apart from the top row). For example here is a dot-trapezium consisting of $15$ dots, having $3$ rows and $4$ dots in the top row. [asy] //wonderfully scuffed asymptote code , please don't laugh at me. constructed from the diagram at https://www.mathsolympiad.org.nz/competitions/nzmo/problems/nzmo1_2024.pdf //top row dot((.05,.1)); dot((-.05,.1)); dot((-.15,.1)); dot((.15,.1)); //middle row dot((0,0)); dot((.1,0)); dot((-.1,0)); dot((.2,0)); dot((-.2,0)); //bottom row dot((.05,-.1)); dot((-.05,-.1)); dot((-.15,-.1)); dot((.15,-.1)); dot((.25,-.1)); dot((-.25,-.1)); [/asy] A positive integer $n$ is called a trapezium-number if there exists a dot-trapezium consisting of exactly $n$ dots, with at least two rows and at least two dots in the top row. How many trapezium-numbers are there less than $100$?

In a triangle $ABC$ with $AB=AC$, let $D$ be the midpoint of $[BC]$. A line passing through $D$ intersects $AB$ at $K$, $AC$ at $L$. A point $E$ on $[BC]$ different from $D$, and a point $P$ on $AE$ is taken such that $\angle KPL=90^\circ-\frac{1}{2}\angle KAL$ and $E$ lies between $A$ and $P$. The circumcircle of triangle $PDE$ intersects $PK$ at point $X$, $PL$ at point $Y$ for the second time. Lines $DX$ and $AB$ intersect at $M$, and lines $DY$ and $AC$ intersect at $N$. Prove that the points $P,M,A,N$ are concyclic.

Harry wants to label the points of a regular octagon with numbers $1,2,\ldots ,8$ and label the edges with $1,2,\ldots, 8$. There are special rules he must follow: If an edge is numbered even, then the sum of the numbers of its endpoints must also be even. If an edge is numbered odd, then the sum of the numbers of its endpoints must also be odd. Two octagon labelings are equivalent if they can be made equal up to rotation, but not up to reflection. If $N$ is the number of possible octagon labelings, find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $100$. [i]Proposed by Harry Kim[/i]

Three circles $\Gamma_A$, $\Gamma_B$ and $\Gamma_C$ share a common point of intersection $O$. The other common point of $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ is $C$, that of $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_C$ is $B$, and that of $\Gamma_C$ and $\Gamma_B$ is $A$. The line $AO$ intersects the circle $\Gamma_A$ in the point $X \ne O$.
