Each field of the table $(mn + 1) \times (mn + 1)$ contains a real number from the interval $[0, 1]$. The sum the numbers in each square section of the table with dimensions $n x n$ is equal to $n$. Determine how big it can be sum of all numbers in the table.
Simon expands factored polynomials with his favorite AI, ChatSFFT. However, he has not paid for a premium ChatSFFT account, so when he goes to expand $(m - a)(n - b),$ where $a, b, m, n$ are integers, ChatSFFT returns the sum of the two factors instead of the product. However, when Simon plugs in certain pairs of integer values for $m$ and $n,$ he realizes that the value of ChatSFFT’s result is the same as the real result in terms of $a$ and $b$. How many such pairs are there?

On a rectangular board with $m$ rows and $n$ columns, where $m\leq n$, some squares are coloured black in a way that no two rows are alike. Find the biggest integer $k$ such that for every possible colouring to start with one can always color $k$ columns entirely red in such a way that no two rows are still alike.
Angle $C$ of an isosceles triangle $ABC$ equals $120^o$. Each of two rays emitting from vertex $C$ (inwards the triangle) meets $AB$ at some point ($P_i$) reflects according to the rule the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection" and meets lateral side of triangle $ABC$ at point $Q_i$ ($i = 1,2$). Given that angle between the rays equals $60^o$, prove that area of triangle $P_1CP_2$ equals the sum of areas of triangles $AQ_1P_1$ and $BQ_2P_2$ ($AP_1 < AP_2$).

You play a game where you and an adversarial opponent take turns writing down positive integers on a chalkboard; the only condition is that, if $m$ and $n$ are written consecutively on the board, $\gcd(m,n)$ must be squarefree. If your objective is to make sure as many integers as possible that are strictly less than $404$ end up on the board (and your opponent is trying to minimize this quantity), how many more such integers can you guarantee will eventually be written on the board if you get to move first as opposed to when your opponent gets to move first?
