Initially, there are a total of $k$ coins on the chessboard where each coin is only loaded exactly on one square and each square can contain coins or blanks. At each turn. You must select exactly one plot that holds the minimum number of coins in the number of neighbors of the plot and then you must give exactly one coin to each neighbor of the selected plot. The game ends if you are no longer able to select squares with the intended conditions. The smallest number of $k$ so that the game never ends for any initial square selection is ....

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO HIGH/MIDDLE SCHOOLERS

Hi everyone!
Do you specialize in contest math? Do you have a passion for teaching? Do you want to help leverage those college apps? Well, I have something for all of you.

I am im_space_cadet, and during the fall of last year, I opened my non-profit DeltaMathPrep which teaches students preparing for contest math the problem-solving skills they need in order to succeed at these competitions. Currently, we are very much understaffed and would greatly appreciate the help of more tutors on our platform.

Each week on Saturday and Wednesday, we meet once for each competition: Wednesday for AMC 8 and Saturday for AMC 10 and we go over a past year paper for the entire class. On both of these days, we meet at 9PM EST in the night.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is looking to have a solid activity to add to their college resumes that requires low effort from tutors and is very flexible with regards to time.

This is the link to our non-profit for anyone who would like to view our initiative:
https://www.deltamathprep.org/

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send me a DM on AoPS or respond to this post expressing your interest. I look forward to having you all on the team!

Thanks,
im_space_cadet

In a school of $800$ students, $224$ students play cricket, $240$ students play

Hello everyone,
In a school of $800$ students, $224$ students play cricket, $240$ students play hockey and $336$ students play basketball. $64$ students play both basketball and hockey, $80$ students play both cricket and basketball, $40$ students play both cricket and hockey, and $24$ students play all three: basketball, hockey, and cricket. Find the number of students who do not play any game.

Edit:
In the above problem,I just want to know that why the number of students who don't play any game shouldn't be 0, because,if we add 224,240 and 336 it comes out to be 800.I have solution,but I just want to know how to explain it without theoretically.Thank you!

OABC is a trapezium with OC // AB and ∠AOB = 37°. Furthermore, A, B, C all lie on the circumference of a circle centred at O. The perpendicular bisector of OC meets AC at D. If ∠ABD = x°, find last 2 digit of 100x.
