For each positive integer $n$, denote by $\omega(n)$ the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$ (for example, $\omega(1)=0$ and $\omega(12)=2$). Find all polynomials $P(x)$ with integer coefficients, such that whenever $n$ is a positive integer satisfying $\omega(n)>2023^{2023}$, then $P(n)$ is also a positive integer with
\[\omega(n)\ge\omega(P(n)).\]

Suppose a biased coin gives head with probability $\dfrac{2}{3}$. The coin is tossed repeatedly, if
it shows heads then player $A$ rolls a fair die, otherwise player $B$ rolls the same die. The process
ends when one of the players get a $6$, and that player is declared the winner.
If the probability that $A$ will win is given by $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m,n$ are coprime, then what is the value of $m^2n$?

Let $n \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A [i]chipped $n$-board[/i] is a $2 \times n$ checkerboard with the bottom left square removed. Lino wants to tile a chipped $n$-board and is allowed to use the following types of tiles:
[list]
[*] Type 1: any $1 \times k$ board where $1 \leq k \leq n$
[*] Type 2: any chipped $k$-board where $1 \leq k \leq n$ that must cover the left-most tile of the $2 \times n$ checkerboard.
[/list]
Two tilings $T_1$ and $T_2$ are considered the same if there is a set of consecutive Type 1 tiles in both rows of $T_1$ that can be vertically swapped to obtain the tiling $T_2$. For example, the following three tilings of a chipped $7$-board are the same:

For any positive integer $n$ and any positive integer $1 \leq m \leq 2n - 1$, let $c_{m,n}$ be the number of distinct tilings of a chipped $n$-board using exactly $m$ tiles (any combination of tile types may be used), and define the polynomial $$P_n(x) = \sum^{2n-1}_{m=1} c_{m,n}x^m.$$
Find, with justification, polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ such that $$P_n(x) = f(x)P_{n-1}(x) + g(x)P_{n-2}(x)$$ for all $n \geq 3$.

2013 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 2
A cafe has 3 tables and 5 individual counter seats. People enter in groups of size between 1 and 4, inclusive, and groups never share a table. A group of more than 1 will always try to sit at a table, but will sit in counter seats if no tables are available. Conversely, a group of 1 will always try to sit at the counter first. One morning, $M$ groups consisting of a total of $N$ people enter and sit down. Then, a single person walks in, and realizes that all the tables and counter seats are occupied by some person or group. What is the minimum possible value of $M + N$?

$ 30$ students participated in the mathematical Olympiad. Each of them was given $ 8$ problems to solve. Jury estimated their work with the following rule:
1) Each problem was worth $ k$ points, if it wasn't solved by exactly $ k$ students;
2) Each student received the maximum possible points in each problem or got $ 0$ in it;
Lasha got the least number of points. What's the maximal number of points he could have?
Remark: 1) means that if the problem was solved by exactly $ k$ students, than each of them got $ 30 \minus{} k$ points in it.
