The Fibonacci sequence is defined by $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for every integer $n$. Let $k$ be a fixed integer. A sequence $(a_n)$ of integers is said to be $\textit{phirme}$ if $a_n + a_{n+1} = F_{n+k}$ for all $n \geq 1$. Find all $\textit{phirme}$ sequences in terms of $n$ and $k$.

At the bottom-left corner of a $2014\times 2014$ chessboard, there are some green worms and at the top-left corner of the same chessboard, there are some brown worms. Green worms can move only to right and up, and brown worms can move only to right and down. After a while, the worms make some moves and all of the unit squares of the chessboard become occupied at least once throughout this process. Find the minimum total number of the worms.

Contessa is taking a random lattice walk in the plane, starting at $(1,1)$. (In a random lattice walk, one moves up, down, left, or right $1$ unit with equal probability at each step.) If she lands on a point of the form $(6m,6n)$ for $m,n \in \mathbb{Z}$, she ascends to heaven, but if she lands on a point of the form $(6m+3,6n+3)$ for $m,n \in \mathbb{Z}$, she descends to hell. What is the probability she ascends to heaven?

2016 Federal Competition For Advanced Students, P2, 5

Consider a board consisting of $n\times n$ unit squares where $n \ge 2$. Two cells are called neighbors if they share a horizontal or vertical border. In the beginning, all cells together contain $k$ tokens. Each cell may contain one or several tokens or none. In each turn, choose one of the cells that contains at least one token for each of its neighbors and move one of those to each of its neighbors. The game ends if no such cell exists. (a) Find the minimal $k$ such that the game does not end for any starting configuration and choice of cells during the game. (b) Find the maximal $k$ such that the game ends for any starting configuration and choice of cells during the game. Proposed by Theresia Eisenkölbl

Sammy has a wooden board, shaped as a rectangle with length $2^{2014}$ and height $3^{2014}$. The board is divided into a grid of unit squares. A termite starts at either the left or bottom edge of the rectangle, and walks along the gridlines by moving either to the right or upwards, until it reaches an edge opposite the one from which the termite started. Depicted below are two possible paths of the termite. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/0/39f3b2aa9c61ff24ffc22b968790f4c61da6f9.png[/img] The termite’s path dissects the board into two parts. Sammy is surprised to find that he can still arrange the pieces to form a new rectangle not congruent to the original rectangle. This rectangle has perimeter $P$. How many possible values of $P$ are there?
