Let \( S \) be a set consisting of non-negative integers such that:

1. \( 0 \in S \),
2. For any \( k \in S \), both \( k + 9 \in S \) and \( k + 10 \in S \).

Find the number of such sets \( S \).

Find all functions \( f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) such that
\[
f\left(\frac{x^2 - f(x)}{f(x) - 1}\right) = x
\]for all real numbers \( x \) satisfying \( f(x) \neq 1 \).

Find all positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that
\[ {a^2+b\over b^2-a}\quad\mbox{and}\quad{b^2+a\over a^2-b} \]
are both integers.

Given an acute triangle $ABC$. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on segments $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Lines $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at point $F$. The circumcircles of triangles $BDF$ and $CEF$ intersect at a second point $P$. The circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $ADE$ intersect at a second point $Q$. Point $K$ lies on segment $AP$ such that $KQ \perp AQ$. Prove that triangles $\triangle BKD$ and $\triangle CKE$ are similar.

Find all pairs of integers $(c, d)$, both greater than 1, such that the following holds:

For any monic polynomial $Q$ of degree $d$ with integer coefficients and for any prime $p > c(2c+1)$, there exists a set $S$ of at most $\big(\tfrac{2c-1}{2c+1}\big)p$ integers, such that
\[\bigcup_{s \in S} \{s,\; Q(s),\; Q(Q(s)),\; Q(Q(Q(s))),\; \dots\}\]contains a complete residue system modulo $p$ (i.e., intersects with every residue class modulo $p$).

Find all positive integers $n$ such that there exists a prime number $p$, such that $p^n-(p-1)^n$ is a power of $3$.

Note. A power of $3$ is a number of the form $3^a$ where $a$ is a positive integer.

A chess tournament took place between $2n+1$ players. Every player played every other player once, with no draws. In addition, each player had a numerical rating before the tournament began, with no two players having equal ratings. It turns out there were exactly $k$ games in which the lower-rated player beat the higher-rated player. Prove that there is some player who won no less than $n-\sqrt{2k}$ and no more than $n+\sqrt{2k}$ games.
