Let $n$ be a natural number and $p$ be a prime number. How many different pairs $(n, p)$ satisfy the equation:
$$p + 2^p - 3 = n^2 .$$

A and B play a game on two table:
1.At first one table got $n$ different coloured marbles on it and another one is empty
2.At each move player choose set of marbles that hadn't choose either players before and all chosen marbles from same table, and move all the marbles in that set to another table
3.Player who can not move lose
If A starts and they move alternatily who got the winning strategy?

ChGiven an acute triangle ABC inscribed in circle $(O)$ The altitudes $BE, CF$ , intersect
each other at $H$. The tangents at $B$ and $C $of $(O)$ intersect at $S$. Let $M $be the midpoint of $BC$. $EM$ intersects $SC$
at $I$, $FM$ intersects $SB$ at $J.$
a) Prove that the points $I, S, M, J$ lie on the same circle.
b) The circle with diameter $AH$ intersects the circle $(O)$ at the second point $T.$ The line $AH$ intersects
$(O)$ at the second point $K$. Prove that $S,K,T$ are collinear.

p1. Compute the smallest positive integer $x$ such that $351x$ is a perfect cube.


p2. A four digit integer is chosen at random. What is the probability all $4$ digits are distinct?


p3. If $$\frac{\sqrt{x + 1}}{\sqrt{x}}+ \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}} =\frac52.$$Solve for $x$.


p4. In $\vartriangle ABC$, $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $AC = 15$. Let $D$ be the point on $BC$ such that $AD \perp BC$, and let $E$ be the midpoint of $AD$. If $F$ is a point such that $CDEF$ is a rectangle, compute the area of $\vartriangle AEF$.


p5. Square $ABCD$ has a sidelength of $4$. Points $P$, $Q$, $R$, and $S$ are chosen on $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, and $AD$ respectively, such that $AP$, $BQ$, $CR$, and $DS$ are length $1$. Compute the area of quadrilateral $P QRS$.


p6. A sequence $a_n$ satisfies for all integers $n$, $$a_{n+1} = 3a_n - 2a_{n-1}.$$If $a_0 = -30$ and $a_1 = -29$, compute $a_{11}$.


p7. In a class, every child has either red hair, blond hair, or black hair. All but $20$ children have black hair, all but $17$ have red hair, and all but $5$ have blond hair. How many children are there in the class?


p8. An Akash set is a set of integers that does not contain two integers such that one divides the other. Compute the minimum positive integer $n$ such that the set $\{1, 2, 3, ..., 2017\}$ can be partitioned into n Akash subsets.


PS. You should use hide for answers. Collected here.

Let \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) be a continuous function. A chord is defined as a segment of integer length, parallel to the x-axis, whose endpoints lie on the graph of \( f \). It is known that the graph of \( f \) contains exactly \( N \) chords, one of which has length 2025. Find the minimum possible value of \( N \).

wired problem! clearly there is example with just 1 chord with length 2025. consider this:
$|x|+|x-1|$ this is obviously a continues function with just one chord with length 2025

There is more than one chord here, for instance a chord of length $1$ between $(0,1)$ and $(1,1)$.
