Consider increasing integer sequences with elements from $1,\ldots,10^6$. Such a sequence is [i]Adriatic[/i] if its first element equals 1 and if every element is at least twice the preceding element. A sequence is [i]Tyrrhenian[/i] if its final element equals $10^6$ and if every element is strictly greater than the sum of all preceding elements. Decide whether the number of Adriatic sequences is smaller than, equal to, or greater than the number of Tyrrhenian sequences. (Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria)

For a positive integer $n$ and nonzero digits $a$, $b$, and $c$, let $A_n$ be the $n$-digit integer each of whose digits is equal to $a$; let $B_n$ be the $n$-digit integer each of whose digits is equal to $b$, and let $C_n$ be the $2n$-digit (not $n$-digit) integer each of whose digits is equal to $c$. What is the greatest possible value of $a + b + c$ for which there are at least two values of $n$ such that $C_n - B_n = A_n^2$? $\textbf{(A)} \text{ 12} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \text{ 14} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \text{ 16} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \text{ 18} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \text{ 20}$

2016 PUMaC Individual Finals A, 1

There are $12$ candies on the table, four of which are rare candies. Chad has a friend who can tell rare candies apart from regular candies, but Chad can’t. Chad’s friend is allowed to take four candies from the table, but may not take any rare candies. Can his friend always take four candies in such a way that Chad will then be able to identify the four rare candies? If so, describe a strategy. If not, prove that it cannot be done. Note that Chad does not know anything about how the candies were selected (e.g. the order in which they were selected). However, Chad and his friend may communicate beforehand.

2022 IMAR Test, 4

Consider several tokens of various colors and sizes, so that there are no two tokens having the same color and the same size. Two numbers are written on each token $J$: one of them is the number of chips having the same color as $J$, but different size, and the other is the number of chips having the same size as $J$, but a different color. It is known that each of the numbers $0, 1, ..., 100$ is written at least once. For what numbers of tokens is this possible?

2007 Junior Tuymaada Olympiad, 8

Several knights are arranged on an infinite chessboard. No square is attacked by more than one knight (in particular, a square occupied by a knight can be attacked by one knight but not by two). Sasha outlined a $ 14\times 16$ rectangle. What maximum number of knights can this rectangle contain?

1999 Argentina National Olympiad, 3

In a trick tournament $2k$ people sign up. All possible matches are played with the condition that in each match, each of the four players knows his partner and does not know any of his two opponents. Determine the maximum number of matches that can be in such a tournament.

Let the [i]square decomposition[/i] of a number be defined as the sequence of numbers given by the following algorithm. Given a positive integer $n$, add the largest possible perfect square that is less than or equal to $n$ to a sequence, and then subtract that number from $n$. Repeat as many times as necessary until your current $n$ is $0$. So for example, the square decomposition of $60$ would be $49, 9, 1, 1$. Define the size of a square decomposition to be the number of numbers in the sequence. Say that the maximal size of a square decomposition of a number in the range $[1, 2020]$ is $m$. Find the largest number in the range $[1, 2020]$ that has a square decomposition of size $m$. [i]Proposed by Timothy Qian[/i]
