Let $n \ge 2$ be a positive integer. An $n\times n$ grid of squares has been colored as a chessboard. Let a [i]move[/i] consist of picking a square from the board and then changing the colors to the opposite for all squares that lie in the same row as the chosen square, as well as for all squares that lie in the same column (the chosen square itself is also changed to the opposite color). Find all values of $n$ for which it is possible to make all squares of the grid be the same color in a finite sequence of moves.

1992 All Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, 572

Half the cells of a $2m \times n$ board are colored black and the other half are colored white. The cells at the opposite ends of the main diagonal are different colors. The center of each black cell is connected to the center of every other black cell by a straight line segment, and similarly for the white cells. Show that we can place an arrow on each segment so that it becomes a vector and the vectors sum to zero.

In a unit square one hundred segments are drawn from the centre to the sides dividing the square into one hundred parts (triangles and possibly quadruilaterals). If all parts have equal perimetr $p$, show that $\dfrac{14}{10} < p < \dfrac{15}{10}$.

2006 Macedonia National Olympiad, 1

A natural number is written on the blackboard. In each step, we erase the units digit and add four times the erased digit to the remaining number, and write the result on the blackboard instead of the initial number. Starting with the number $13^{2006}$, is it possible to obtain the number $2006^{13}$ by repeating this step finitely many times?
