Consider polynomials $P$ of degree $2015$, all of whose coefficients are in the set $\{0,1,\dots,2010\}$. Call such a polynomial [i]good[/i] if for every integer $m$, one of the numbers $P(m)-20$, $P(m)-15$, $P(m)-1234$ is divisible by $2011$, and there exist integers $m_{20}, m_{15}, m_{1234}$ such that $P(m_{20})-20, P(m_{15})-15, P(m_{1234})-1234$ are all multiples of $2011$. Let $N$ be the number of good polynomials. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

Initially, the number $10$ is written on the board. In each subsequent moves, you can either
(i) erase the number $1$ and replace it with a $10$, or
(ii) erase the number $10$ and replace it with a $1$ and a $25$ or
(iii) erase a $25$ and replace it with two $10$.
After sometime, you notice that there are exactly one hundred copies of $1$ on the board. What is the least possible sum of all the numbers on the board at that moment?

In the diagram below, $ABCD$ is a rectangle with side lengths $AB=3$ and $BC=11$, and $AECF$ is a rectangle with side lengths $AF=7$ and $FC=9,$ as shown. The area of the shaded region common to the interiors of both rectangles is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and consider a sequence $a_1 , a_2 , \dotsc , a_n $ of positive integers. Extend it periodically to an infinite sequence $a_1 , a_2 , \dotsc $ by defining $a_{n+i} = a_i $ for all $i \ge 1$. If \[a_1 \le a_2 \le \dots \le a_n \le a_1 +n \] and \[a_{a_i } \le n+i-1 \quad\text{for}\quad i=1,2,\dotsc, n, \] prove that \[a_1 + \dots +a_n \le n^2. \]

Let $1 \leq n \leq 2021$ be a positive integer. Jack has $2021$ coins arranged in a line where each coin has an $H$ on one side and a $T$ on the other. At the beginning, all coins show $H$ except the nth coin. Jack can repeatedly perform the following operation: he chooses a coin showing $T$, and turns over the coins next to it to the left and to the right (if any). Determine all $n$ such that Jack can make all coins show $T$ after a finite number of operations.

The numbers from 1 to 360 are partitioned into 9 subsets of consecutive integers and the sums of the numbers in each subset are arranged in the cells of a $3 \times 3$ square. Is it possible that the square turns out to be a magic square?
Remark: A magic square is a square in which the sums of the numbers in each row, in each column and in both diagonals are all equal.

In $1960$, the oldest of three brothers has an age that is the sum of the of his younger siblings. A few years later, the sum of the ages of two of brothers is double that of the other. A number of years have now passed since $1960$, which is equal to two thirds of the sum of the ages that the three brothers were at that year, and one of them has reached $21$ years. What is the age of each of the others two?

Kostas and Helene have the following dialogue:
Kostas: I have in my mind three positive real numbers with product $1$ and sum equal to the sum of all their pairwise products.
Helene: I think that I know the numbers you have in mind. They are all equal to $1$.
Kostas: In fact, the numbers you mentioned satisfy my conditions, but I did not think of these numbers. The numbers you mentioned have the minimal sum between all possible solutions of the problem.
Can you decide if Kostas is right? (Explain your answer).
