A regular $2018$-gon is inscribed in a circle. The numbers $1, 2, ..., 2018$ are arranged on the vertices of the $2018$-gon, with each vertex having one number on it, such that the sum of any $2$ neighboring numbers ($2$ numbers are neighboring if the vertices they are on lie on a side of the polygon) equals the sum of the $2$ numbers that are on the antipodes of those $2$ vertices (with respect to the given circle). Determine the number of different arrangements of the numbers.
(Two arrangements are identical if you can get from one of them to the other by rotating around the center of the circle).

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from $A$ two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to $A$ simultaneously after one revolution.

A ''lucky'' year is one in which at least one date, when written in the form month/day/year, has the following property: ''The product of the month times the day equals the last two digits of the year''. For example, 1956 is a lucky year because it has the date 7/8/56 and $7\times 8 = 56$. Which of the following is NOT a lucky year?
$\text{(A)}\ 1990 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 1991 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 1992 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 1993 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 1994$

On a table, there are $2025$ empty boxes numbered $1,2,\dots ,2025$, and $2025$ balls with weights $1,2,\dots ,2025$. Starting with Vadim, Vadim and Marian take turns selecting a ball from the table and placing it into an empty box. After all $2025$ turns, there is exactly one ball in each box. Denote the weight of the ball in box $i$ by $w_i$. Marian wins if $$\sum_{i=1}^{2025}i\cdot w_i\equiv 0 \pmod{23}.$$ If both players play optimally, can Marian guarantee a win?

Three sergeants and several solders serve in a platoon. The sergeants take turns on duty. The commander has given the following orders:
(a) Each day, at least one task must be issued to a soldier.
(b) No soldier may have more than two task or receive more than one tasks in a single day.
(c) The lists of soldiers receiving tasks for two different days must not be the same.
(d) The first sergeant violating any of these orders will be jailed.
Can at least one of the sergeants, without conspiring with the others, give tasks according to these rules and avoid being jailed?

An assignment of either a $ 0$ or a $ 1$ to each unit square of an $ m$x$ n$ chessboard is called $ fair$ if the total numbers of $ 0$s and $ 1$s are equal. A real number $ a$ is called $ beautiful$ if there are positive integers $ m,n$ and a fair assignment for the $ m$x$ n$ chessboard such that for each of the $ m$ rows and $ n$ columns , the percentage of $ 1$s on that row or column is not less than $ a$ or greater than $ 100\minus{}a$. Find the largest beautiful number.
