Numbers from 1 to 20 are written in a row. Players take turns placing pluses and minuses between these numbers. After all of the gaps are filled, the result is calculated. If it is even, then the first player wins, if it is odd, then the second player wins. Who won?
Two players take turns to put rooks on a chessboard so that the rooks cannot capture each other. The player who cannot make a move loses.
On a board there are written 10 units and 10 deuces. During a game, one is allowed to erase any two numbers and, if they are the same, write a deuce, and if they are different then they can write a one. If the last digit left on the board is a unit, then the first player won, if it is a deuce then the second player wins.
Two players in turn put coins on a round table, in such a way that they do not overlap. The player who can not make a move loses.
a) Two in turn put bishops in the cells of a chessboard. The next move must beat at least one empty cell. The bishop also beats the cell in which it is located. The player who loses is the one who cannot make a move.
b) Repeat the same, but with rooks.
There are two piles of sweets: one with 20 sweets and the other with 21 sweets. In one go, one of the piles needs to be eaten, and the second pile is divided into two not necessarily equal piles. The player that cannot make a move loses. Which player wins and which one loses?
The game begins with the number 0. In one go, it is allowed to add to the actual number any natural number from 1 to 9. The winner is the one who gets the number 100.
Prove that: \[a_1 a_2 a_3 \cdots a_{n-1}a_n \times 10^3 \equiv a_{n-1} a_n \times 10^3 \pmod4,\] where \(n\) is a natural number and \(a_i\) for \(i=1,2,\ldots, n\) are the digits of some number.
A pawn stands on one of the squares of an endless in both directions chequered strip of paper. It can be shifted by \(m\) squares to the right or by \(n\) squares to the left. For which \(m\) and \(n\) can it move to the next cell to the right?
Solve the equations \(x^2 = 14 + y^2\) in integers.
