In the following stages, he used the red pencil for writing the sum of the two numbers from the previous stage and the green pencil for their (positive) difference. What number did he write in red in the 2017th stage?

Little Red Riding Hood finds herself at the entrance of the “Rectangular Forest”. Starting at point $A$, she has to reach point $B$ as fast as possible. One possibility is to walk along the edges of the woods which will be $140\,\text{m}$ in total. Of course, she knows that according to the triangle inequality a direct path would be shorter. Unfortunately, there is only a path which has the form of a zigzag with two right-angled turns as can be seen in the picture. If she knew that this way was shorter than $140\,\text{m}$, she would dare to take the shortcut. Find the length (in meters) of the zigzag through the forest!

Leo wants to colour the edges of a regular dodecahedron in a special way: He chooses a felt pen of one colour, starts at one vertex of the dodecahedron and moves along connected edges without lifting his pen and without colouring any edge twice until he wants to or is forced to stop. Then he takes another felt pen and begins colouring some connected uncoloured edges. He continues this procedure using one colour at a time until every edge of the dodecahedron is coloured exactly once. What is the minimum number of colours which can be used?

Note: Regular dodecahedron is a regular solid with twelve pentagonal faces as shown in the picture:

The triangle $ABC$ marks the middle of the path, its side lengths are $a = 80\,\text{m}$, $b = 100\,\text{m}$ and $c = 120 \,\text{m}$.

At a fun fair there is a lottery drawing with the following rules: a participant has to choose one of four indistinguishable boxes and afterwards he draws one ball out of the chosen box. If this ball is white, the participant is a winner, if it is black, he loses. For example, if the distribution of the balls in the four boxes is $$(6,6),\,(5,3),\,(4,0),\, (3,5),$$ where each pair $(w, b)$ represents a box with $w$ white and $b$ black balls inside, then a participant wins with a probability of $\frac{5}{8}$. Every $1000^{\text{th}}$ participant receives a super-joker: he or she is allowed to redistribute all the balls among the boxes arbitrarily, putting at least one ball in each box. Then the boxes are mixed again and the participant can choose a box and draw one ball. Johanna is a lucky girl and has won the super-joker. What is the largest probability for a win she can achieve by using an appropriate distribution of the balls given in the example?

A bus, a truck, and a motorcycle move at constant speeds and pass a stationary observer in this order at equal time intervals.

Find all ways to fill all gaps in the statement below with positive integers in order to make the statement true: “In this statement, $\boxed{\phantom{00}}\,\%$ of digits is greater than $4$, $\boxed{\phantom{00}}\,\%$ of digits is less than $5$, and $\boxed{\phantom{00}}\,\%$ of digits is equal to either $4$ or $5$”.

Paul’s cattle grazes on a triangular meadow $ABC$. Since his spotted cows and those without spots did not go well together, Paul built a twenty-meter long fence perpendicular to the side $AC$, starting at point $P$ on this side and ending in $B$, dividing the meadow into two right-angled triangles. However, this was soon met with protests from the spotted cows (grazing in the part with point $A$), which pointed out that $AP : PC = 2 : 7$ and demanded a fairer division. Consequently, Paul replaced the fence with a new one, parallel to the old one and with ends on the borders of the meadow, but dividing the meadow into two parts of equal area. What was the length of the new fence in meters?

Determine all possible values of the product of the erased numbers.

On an old concrete wall, someone had sprayed five (not necessarily distinct) real numbers, the sum of which was $20$. For each pair of these numbers, Harry computed their sum and rounded it down (i.e. took the greatest non-exceeding nearest integer), thus obtaining ten integers. Finally, he added together all these new numbers. What was the smallest possible value of the sum that Harry could get?

Mike plays the following game: His task is to find an integer between $1$ and $N$ (inclusive). In each turn, he picks an integer from this interval; if it is the correct one, the game ends, otherwise he is told if his choice was too large or too small. However, if the picked number is too large, he has to pay £ 1, and if it is too small, he pays £ 2 (and he pays nothing if his choice is correct). What is the largest integer $N$ such that Mike can always finish the game provided that he can spend at most £ 10?

The lower ends of the legs form an equilateral triangle of side length $9\,\text{af}$ and when the spacecraft rests on a flat surface, the lowest point of the ball precisely touches the surface. What is the radius $R$ (in $\text{af}$)?

Four brothers, Allan, Bert, Charlie, and Daniel, had collected a large amount of hazelnuts in a forest. At night, Allan woke up with the irrestible urge to eat, so he decided to eat some of them. After counting the hazelnuts, he found out that if one hazelnut was removed, the rest could have been divided into four equal parts, so he discarded the extra hazelnut and ate his share (one fourth of the rest); then he returned to bed. Later that night, Bert woke up because of hunger, too, and found out that there was again an extra nut, which he removed and ate one fourth of the remaining nuts. Until morning, exactly the same happened to Charile and Daniel. When all brothers met in the morning, they found out that the number of the remaining nuts was still such that it was divisible by four after removing one nut. What was the minimal number of hazelnuts the brothers could have collected?

Emperor Decimus has banned using the digit $0$ (introduced by his predecessor Nullus) and ordered the digit $\mathrm D$, representing the quantity $10$, to be used instead, thereby founding the Decimus notation. Each positive integer still has a unique representation, e.g. $$3\mathrm{DD}6 = 3 \cdot 1000 + 10 \cdot 100 + 10 \cdot 10 + 6 \cdot 1 = 4106.$$ To smoothen the transfer to the new system, a list of all integers from $1$ to $\mathrm{DDD}$ (inclusive) has been written down. How many occurrences of the new digit $\mathrm D$ are there in the list? Multiple occurrences in a single number are counted with multiplicity, so e.g. $\mathrm{DD}$ is counted as two $\mathrm D$’s.

Square $ABCD$ has inscribed circle $\omega$, which touches the square at points $W$, $X$, $Y$, $Z$ lying on sides $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, $DA$ respectively.

Bob has a cool car with square-shaped rear wheels (the front wheels are the standard round ones). Such a car would usually be rather unpleasant to drive, but Bob has installed very good shock absorbers for the rear wheels so that the car stays in a fixed position parallel to the surface while driving on a flat road. The side length of the rear wheel is $40\,\text{cm}$ and its axle is fixed with respect to the car in the horizontal direction. What is the radius of the front wheel (in cm) provided that when the car is moving with constant forward speed, the axle of the rear wheel is exactly half of the time lower and half of the time higher from the surface than the axle of the front wheel?

The City of the Future has the shape of a regular $2017$-gon. In vertices of the city there are $2017$ metro stations, labelled $1, 2, \ldots, 2017$ counterclockwise on the city map. There are two metro lines: side and diagonal. The side line provides direct connection from station $a$ to $b$ (but not in the opposite direction) if and only if $a-b+1$ is divisible by $2017$ and one such ride lasts $1$ minute. The diagonal line provides direct connection from station $a$ to $b$ if and only if $2b-2a+1$ is divisible by $2017$ and one ride lasts $15$ minutes. Ferdinand is an avid metro traveller and starting from station $1$ he wants to get to the station $n$ with the following property: the shortest possible time needed for getting to this station is the longest among all the stations. Find values $n$ of all possible destinations of Ferdinand.
