Initially, on the lower left and right corner of a $2018\times 2018$ board, there're two horses, red and blue, respectively. $A$ and $B$ alternatively play their turn, $A$ start first. Each turn consist of moving their horse ($A$-red, and $B$-blue) by, simultaneously, $20$ cells respect to one coordinate, and $17$ cells respect to the other; while preserving the rule that the horse can't occupied the cell that ever occupied by any horses in the game. The player who can't make the move loss, who has the winning strategy?
Find all the pairs of integers $ (a,b)$ satisfying $ ab(a \minus{} b)\not \equal{} 0$ such that there exists a subset $ Z_{0}$ of set of integers $ Z,$ for any integer $ n$, exactly one among three integers $ n,n \plus{} a,n \plus{} b$ belongs to $ Z_{0}$.
In the middle of a vast prairie, a firetruck is stationed at the intersection of two perpendicular straight highways. The truck travels at $50$ miles per hour along the highways and at $14$ miles per hour across the prairie. Consider the set of points that can be reached by the firetruck within six minutes. The area of this region is $m/n$ square miles, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n.$
Find the exponent of $37$ in the representation of the number $111...... 11$ with $3\cdot 37^{2000}$ digits equals to $1$, as product of prime powers
The plane is divided into domains by $ n$ straight lines in general position, where $ n \geq 3$. Determine the maximum and minimum possible number of angular domains among them. (We say that $ n$ lines are in general position if no two are parallel and no three are concurrent.)
Alice and Bob play a game with a string of $2015$ pearls.
In each move, one player cuts the string between two pearls and the other player chooses one of the resulting parts of the string while the other part is discarded.
In the first move, Alice cuts the string, thereafter, the players take turns.
A player loses if he or she obtains a string with a single pearl such that no more cut is possible.
Who of the two players does have a winning strategy?

On the sides $PQ, QR, RP$ of $\vartriangle PQR$ segments $AB, CD, EF$ are drawn. Given a point $S_0$ inside triangle $\vartriangle PQR$, find the locus of points $S$ for which the sum of the areas of triangles $\vartriangle SAB$, $\vartriangle SCD$ and $\vartriangle SEF$ is equal to the sum of the areas of triangles $\vartriangle S_0AB$, $\vartriangle S_0CD$, $\vartriangle S0EF$. Consider separately the case $$\frac{AB}{PQ }= \frac{CD}{QR} = \frac{EF}{RP}.$$

Written on a blackboard is the polynomial $x^2+x+2014$. Calvin and Hobbes take turns alternately (starting with Calvin) in the following game. At his turn, Calvin should either increase or decrease the coefficient of $x$ by $1$. And at this turn, Hobbes should either increase or decrease the constant coefficient by $1$. Calvin wins if at any point of time the polynomial on the blackboard at that instant has integer roots. Prove that Calvin has a winning stratergy.

A quadrilateral $ABCD$ without parallel sides is inscribed in a circle $\omega$. We draw a line $\ell_a \parallel BC$ through the point $A$, a line $\ell_b \parallel CD$ through the point $B$, a line $\ell_c \parallel DA$ through the point $C$, and a line $\ell_d \parallel AB$ through the point $D$.

Show that the lines $AC, BD$ and $EF$ intersect in one point.
