Let $ a_1 <a_2 <... <a_n $ consecutive positive integers (with $ n> 2 $). A grasshopper jumps on the real line, starting at point $ 0 $ and jumping $ n $ to the right with lengths $ a_1 $, $ a_2 $, ..., $ a_n $, in some order (each length occupies exactly once), ending your tour at the $ 2010 $ point. Find all the possible values $ n $ of jumps that the grasshopper could have made.

Given two convex polygons, $A_1A_2...A_n$ and $B_1B_2...B_n$ such that $A_1A_2 = B_1B_2$, $A_2A_3 = B_2B_3$,$ ...$, $A_nA_1 = B_nB_1$ and $n - 3$ angles of one polygon are equal to the respective angles of the other. Find whether these polygons are equal.

Let $ C$ be a circle with center $ M$ in a plane $ V$, and $ P$ be a point not on the circle $ C$. $ (a)$ If $ P$ is fixed, prove that $ AP^2\plus{}BP^2$ is a constant for every diameter $ AB$ of the circle $ C$. $ (b)$ Let $ AB$ be a fixed diameter of $ C$ and $ P$ a point on a fixed sphere $ S$ not intersecting $ V$. Determine the points $ P$ on $ S$ that minimize $ AP^2\plus{}BP^2$.

The corners of a fixed convex (but not necessarily regular) $n$-gon are labeled with distinct letters. If an observer stands at a point in the plane of the polygon, but outside the polygon, they see the letters in some order from left to right, and they spell a "word" (that is, a string of letters; it doesn't need to be a word in any language). For example, in the diagram below (where $n=4$), an observer at point $X$ would read "$BAMO$," while an observer at point $Y$ would read "$MOAB$." [center]Diagram to be added soon[/center] Determine, as a formula in terms of $n$, the maximum number of distinct $n$-letter words which may be read in this manner from a single $n$-gon. Do not count words in which some letter is missing because it is directly behind another letter from the viewer's position.

Two numbers $(z_1,z_2)\in \mathbb{C}^*\times \mathbb{C}^*$ have the property $(P)$ if there is a real number $a\in [-2,2]$ such that $z_1^2-az_1z_2+z_2^2=0$. Prove that if $(z_1,z_2)$ have the property $(P)$, then $(z_1^n,z_2^n)$ satisfy this property, for any positive integer $n$. [i]Dorin Andrica[/i]

a) A student takes a subway to an Olympiad, pays one ruble and gets his change. Prove that if he takes a tram (street car) on his way home, he will have enough coins to pay the fare without change. b) A student is going to a club. (S)he takes a tram, pays one ruble and gets the change. Prove that on the way back by a tram (s)he will be able to pay the fare without any need to change. Note: In $1957$, the price of a subway ticket was $50$ kopeks, that of a tram ticket $30$ kopeks, the denominations of the coins were $1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15$, and $20$ kopeks. ($1$ rouble = $100$ kopeks.)

In the figure we see the paths connecting the square of a city (point $P$) with the school (point $S$). In the square there are $k$ pupils starting to go to the school. They have the ability to move only to the right and up. If the pupils are free to choose any allowed path (in order to get to school), determine the minimum value of $k$ so that in any case at least two pupils follow the same path.
