Prove that for every positive integer $n$ there are positive integers $a$ and $b$ exist with $n | 4a^2 + 9b^2 -1$.
Each of the integers from 1 to 4027 has been colored either green or red. Changing the color of a number is making it red if it was green and making it green if it was red. Two positive integers $m$ and $n$ are said to be [i]cuates[/i] if either $\frac{m}{n}$ or $\frac{n}{m}$ is a prime number. A [i]step[/i] consists in choosing two numbers that are cuates and changing the color of each of them. Show it is possible to apply a sequence of steps such that every integer from 1 to 2014 is green.
$n$ players ($n \ge 4$) took part in the tournament. Each player played exactly one match with every other player, there were no draws. There was no four players $(A, B, C, D)$, such that $A$ won with $B$, $B$ won with $C$, $C$ won with $D$ and $D$ won with $A$. Determine, depending on $n$, maximum number of trios of players $(A, B, C)$, such that $A$ won with $B$, $B$ won with $C$ and $C$ won with $A$.

Integers are written in the cells of a table $2010 \times 2010$. Adding $1$ to all the numbers in a row or in a column is called a [i]move[/i]. We say that a table is [i]equilibrium[/i] if one can obtain after finitely many moves a table in which all the numbers are equal. [list=a] [*]Find the largest positive integer $n$, for which there exists an [i]equilibrium[/i] table containing the numbers $2^0, 2^1, \ldots , 2^n$. [*] For this $n$, find the maximal number that may be contained in such a table. [/list]

The Bank of Pittsburgh issues coins that have a heads side and a tails side. Vera has a row of 2023 such coins alternately tails-up and heads-up, with the leftmost coin tails-up. In a [i]move[/i], Vera may flip over one of the coins in the row, subject to the following rules: [list=disc] [*] On the first move, Vera may flip over any of the $2023$ coins. [*] On all subsequent moves, Vera may only flip over a coin adjacent to the coin she flipped on the previous move. (We do not consider a coin to be adjacent to itself.) [/list] Determine the smallest possible number of moves Vera can make to reach a state in which every coin is heads-up. [i]Luke Robitaille[/i]
