On a $16 x 16$ board, $25$ coins are placed, as in the figure. It is allowed to select $8$ rows and $8$ columns and remove from the board all the coins that are in those $16$ lines. Determine if it is possible to remove all coins from the board.

2009 Tournament Of Towns, 1

There are two numbers on a board, $1/2009$ and $1/2008$. Alex and Ben play the following game. At each move, Alex names a number $x$ (of his choice), while Ben responds by increasing one of the numbers on the board (of his choice) by $x$. Alex wins if at some moment one of the numbers on the board becomes $1$. Can Alex win (no matter how Ben plays)?

Let $a, b, c$ be real numbers such that $a \neq 0$. Consider the parabola with equation \[ y = ax^2 + bx + c, \] and the lines defined by the six equations \begin{align*} &y = ax + b, \quad & y = bx + c, \qquad \quad & y = cx + a, \\ &y = bx + a, \quad & y = cx + b, \qquad \quad & y = ax + c. \end{align*} Suppose that the parabola intersects each of these lines in at most one point. Determine the maximum and minimum possible values of $\frac{c}{a}$.

We consider a fixed point $P$ in the interior of a fixed sphere$.$ We construct three segments $PA, PB,PC$, perpendicular two by two$,$ with the vertexes $A, B, C$ on the sphere$.$ We consider the vertex $Q$ which is opposite to $P$ in the parallelepiped (with right angles) with $PA, PB, PC$ as edges$.$ Find the locus of the point $Q$ when $A, B, C$ take all the positions compatible with our problem.

Farmer John has a (flexible) fence of length $L$ and two straight walls that intersect at a corner perpendicular to each other. He knows that if he doesn't use any walls, he call enclose an maximum possible area of $A_0$, and when he uses one of the walls or both walls, he gets a maximum of area of $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. If $n=\frac{A_1}{A_0}+\frac{A_2}{A_1}$, find $\lfloor 1000n\rfloor$. [i]Proposed by Yannick Yao[/i]
