Rachel and Robert run on a circular track. Rachel runs counterclockwise and completes a lap every $ 90$ seconds, and Robert runs clockwise and completes a lap every $ 80$ seconds. Both start from the start line at the same time. At some random time between $ 10$ minutes and $ 11$ minutes after they begin to run, a photographer standing inside the track takes a picture that shows one-fourth of the track, centered on the starting line. What is the probability that both Rachel and Robert are in the picture?

We have a $9$ by $9$ chessboard with $9$ kings (which can move to any of $8$ adjacent squares) in the bottom row. What is the minimum number of moves, if two pieces cannot occupy the same square at the same time, to move all the kings into an $X$ shape (a $5\times5$ region where there are $5$ kings along each diagonal of the $X$, as shown below)?

Denote the set of all positive integers by $\mathbb{N}$, and the set of all ordered positive integers by $\mathbb{N}^2$. For all non-negative integers $k$, define [i]good functions of order k[/i] recursively for all non-negative integers $k$, among all functions from $\mathbb{N}^2$ to $\mathbb{N}$ as follows:
(i) The functions $f(a,b)=a$ and $f(a,b)=b$ are both good functions of order $0$.
(ii) If $f(a,b)$ and $g(a,b)$ are good functions of orders $p$ and $q$, respectively, then $\gcd(f(a,b),g(a,b))$ is a good function of order $p+q$, while $f(a,b)g(a,b)$ is a good function of order $p+q+1$.
Prove that, if $f(a,b)$ is a good function of order $k\leq \binom{n}{3}$ for some positive integer $n\geq 3$, then there exist a positive integer $t\leq \binom{n}{2}$ and $t$ pairs of non-negative integers $(x_1,y_1),\ldots,(x_n,y_n)$ such that
$$f(a,b)=\gcd(a^{x_1}b^{y_1},\ldots,a^{x_t}b^{y_t})$$
holds for all positive integers $a$ and $b$.

Ali chooses one of the stones from a group of $2005$ stones, marks this stone in a way that Betül cannot see the mark, and shuffles the stones. At each move, Betül divides stones into three non-empty groups. Ali removes the group with more stones from the two groups that do not contain the marked stone (if these two groups have equal number of stones, Ali removes one of them). Then Ali shuffles the remaining stones. Then it's again Betül's turn. And the game continues until two stones remain. When two stones remain, Ali confesses the marked stone. At least in how many moves can Betül guarantee to find out the marked stone?

Three players $A, B$ and $C$ take turns taking stones from a pile of $N$ stones. They play in the order $A$, $B$, $C$, $A$, $B$, $C$, $....$, $A$ starts the game and the one who takes the last stone loses. Players $A$ and $C$ They form a team against $B$, they agree on a strategy joint. $B$ can take $1, 2, 3, 4$ or $5$ stones on each move, while that $A$ and $C$ can each draw $1, 2$ or $3$ stones in each turn. Determine for which values of $N$ have winning strategies $A$ and $C$ , and for what values the winning strategy is $B$'s.
