Let $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$ be complex numbers satisfying
\begin{align*}
5 &= a+b+c+d \\
125 &= (5-a)^4 + (5-b)^4 + (5-c)^4 + (5-d)^4 \\
1205 &= (a+b)^4 + (b+c)^4 + (c+d)^4 + (d+a)^4 + (a+c)^4 + (b+d)^4 \\

Find all the pairs of the positive integers such that the product of the numbers of any pair plus the half of one of
the numbers plus one third of the other number is three times less than $1004$.
Dave's Amazing Hotel has $3$ floors. If you press the up button on the elevator from the $3$rd floor, you are immediately transported to the $1$st floor. Similarly, if you press the down button from the $1$st floor, you are immediately transported to the $3$rd floor. Dave gets in the elevator at the $1$st floor and randomly presses up or down at each floor. After doing this $482$ times, the probability that Dave is on the first floor can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is the remainder when $m+n$ is divided by $1000$?

In the following sequence of numbers, each term, starting with the third, is obtained by adding three times the previous term plus twice the previous term to the previous one:
$$a_1, a_2, 78, a_4, a_5, 3438, a_7, a_8,…$$
As seen in the sequence, the third term is $78$ and the sixth term is $3438$. What is the value of the term $a_7$?
Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with $I$ be its incenter. The incircle touches $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$, respectively. $Y$, $Z$ are the midpoints of $DF$, $DE$ respectively, and $S$, $V$ are the intersections of lines $YZ$ and $BC$, $AD$, respectively. $T$ is the second intersection of $\odot(ABC)$ and $AS$. $K$ is the foot from $I$ to $AT$. Prove that $KV$ is parallel to $DT$.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Arnaldo and Bernaldo play a game in a table $2020\times 2020$, initially all the cells are empty. In each round a player chooses a empty cell and put one red token or one blue token, Arnaldo wins if in some moment, there are $k$ consecutive cells in the same row or column with tokens of same color, if all the cells have a token and there aren't $k$ consecutive cells(row or column) with same color, then Bernaldo wins. If the players play alternately and Arnaldo goes first, determine for which values of $k$, Arnaldo has the winning strategy.
