A particle moves from $(0, 0)$ to $(n, n)$ directed by a fair coin. For each head it moves one step east and for each tail it moves one step north. At $(n, y), y < n$, it stays there if a head comes up and at $(x, n), x < n$, it stays there if a tail comes up. Let$ k$ be a fixed positive integer. Find the probability that the particle needs exactly $2n+k$ tosses to reach $(n, n).$

Lola, Lolo, Tiya, and Tiyo participated in a ping pong tournament. Each player competed against each of the other three players exactly twice. Shown below are the win-loss records for the players. The numbers $1$ and $0$ represent a win or loss, respectively. For example, Lola won five matches and lost the fourth match. What was Tiyo’s win-loss record? \[\begin{tabular}{c | c} Player & Result \\ \hline Lola & \texttt{111011}\\ Lolo & \texttt{101010}\\ Tiya & \texttt{010100}\\ Tiyo & \texttt{??????} \end{tabular}\] $\textbf{(A)}\ \texttt{000101} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \texttt{001001} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \texttt{010000} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \texttt{010101} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \texttt{011000}$

Ukrainian TYM Qualifying - geometry, III.11

A circle centered at point $O$ is separated by points $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ on $n$ equal parts (points are listed sequentially clockwise) and the rays $OA_1,OA_2,...,OA_n$ are constructed. The angle $A_2OA_3$ is divided by rays into two equal angles at vertex $O$, the angle $A_3OA_4$ is divided into three equal angles, and so on, finally, the angle $A_nOA_1$ divided into $n$ equal angles at vertex $O$. A point belonging to the ray other than $OA_1$, is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection $B_0$ on the neighboring (clockwise) arrow) with ray $OA_1$, point$ B_1$ is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection on the next (clockwise) ray, etc. As a result of such process it turns out the broken line $B_0B_1B_2B_3...$ infinitely "twists". Consider the question of giving the thus obtained broken numerical value of "length" $L (n)$ and explore the value of $L(n)$ depending on $n$.

A BWM tree is defined recursively: [list] [*] An empty tree is a BWM tree of height 0 and size 0. [*] A nonempty BWM tree consists of a root node and three subtrees, each of which is itself a (possibly empty) BWM tree. The height of the tallest of the subtrees must be at most 2 more than the height of the shortest. [*] The height of a nonempty BWM tree is one more than the height of its tallest subtree, and the size of a nonempty BWM tree is one more than the sum of the sizes of the subtrees.

In the game of [i]Ring Mafia[/i], there are $2019$ counters arranged in a circle. $673$ of these counters are mafia, and the remaining $1346$ counters are town. Two players, Tony and Madeline, take turns with Tony going first. Tony does not know which counters are mafia but Madeline does. On Tony’s turn, he selects any subset of the counters (possibly the empty set) and removes all counters in that set. On Madeline’s turn, she selects a town counter which is adjacent to a mafia counter and removes it. Whenever counters are removed, the remaining counters are brought closer together without changing their order so that they still form a circle. The game ends when either all mafia counters have been removed, or all town counters have been removed. Is there a strategy for Tony that guarantees, no matter where the mafia counters are placed and what Madeline does, that at least one town counter remains at the end of the game?
