This document provides information and questions for the 36th championship of mathematical and logic games. It includes 14 problems of varying difficulty with assigned coefficients between 1 and 16. The problems cover topics like geometry, logic puzzles, number sequences, and more. Participants must provide complete solutions for each problem, including specifying the number of solutions or giving two sample solutions if multiple are possible. The document establishes the framework and scoring system for the championship competition.

START FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS 3. GAME OF CARDS (coefficient 3)
1. THE ENCLOSURE (coefficient 1) Matilda wants to build an enclosure with C a series of pentominoes. She has already placed four on a grid. B A D E B B C C 5 A 1 2 3 4 A D E D E Aline is playing a game where you have 8 to eliminate three cards that have the 6 7 same letter simultaneously, without disturbing any other cards. In what order could she eliminate this deck of cards?
4. THE STICKERS (coefficient 4)
Matthew has 5 red stickers and 4 blue stickers, all round and exactly the size of the disks in the drawing. He must stick each sticker The pieces must align with empty precisely on a white disc squares of the grid, touching one so that: another at a corner, but not at a side, • no blue sticker touches another blue and there must be a closed area inside. sticker; Matilda would like to end the enclosure • each red sticker touches at least one with a single piece from the pieces other red sticker. numbered 1 to 8.

THE PIGGYBANK (coefficient 2) colour squares in such Matilda has 10 2-franc coins and 15 1- a way that no coloured franc coins in her piggy bank. She squares touch one decides to buy a game that costs 17 another by a side or by francs. a vertex. In how many different ways can she How many squares can we colour, at most? pay for the game with coins from her piggybank? END FOR CE PARTICIPANTS 6. JOE’S STONES (coefficient 6) is the digit-reversal of its square: Joe Ellery makes jewellery. 2022 × 2022 = 4,088,484 He weighs some precious stones. and 2202 × 2202 = 4,848,804. Matthew found a non-palindromic number smaller than 2022, having the same property, and whose sum of digits is also equal to 6. Find that number. Stones of the same shape have the same weight. The three scales indicate 10. TWO SUMS & A CAFÉ (coef. 10) 27 g, 24 g and 21 g respectively. What is the weight in grams of each ab f In these two shape of stone? + c + b additions, only the + d + d digits 1 to 6 are used, which are 7. TRIANGLE OF THE YEAR (coef. 7) = f = c a replaced by letters. The seven discs in The same digit is always replaced by the this triangle should same letter and the same letter always contain the replaces the same digit. numbers 5 through If b = 6, what number does café 11 so that the sum represent? of the numbers in each line of three 11. THE LOTTERY (coefficient 11) numbers is 22. The numbers 10 and 11 In a lottery, one thousand tickets are already placed. numbered from 000 to 999 were sold. It's up to you to place the others. A number is drawn: 205, which wins the jackpot. The five numbers 025, 052, 8. COMBINATION LOCK (coefficient 8) 250, 502 and 520 win a second prize. Alex has a combination lock whose Finally, all other numbers that have at 4-digit code, represented as ABCD, is least two digits in common with the such that: number 205 win a consolation prize. • A is twice B. How many numbers will win a • The sum of B and C is equal to 13. consolation prize? • The sum of A and B is equal to the sum of C and D. END FOR C1 PARTICIPANTS What is the code for this padlock? 12. JUST ELASTIC BANDS (coef. 12) END FOR CM PARTICIPANTS On the label of a box of circular elastic bands it says “weight: 81g; 3 different Problems 9 to 18: beware! For a sizes”. problem to be completely solved, you The three perimeters (lengths) of the must give both the number of solutions, band types are 12 cm, 20 cm and AND give the solution if there is only 25 cm, and the weights of the bands are one, or give any two correct solutions if proportional to their lengths. there are more than one. For all In the box, there is the same total problems that may have more than one weight of each kind of band, each band solution, there is space for two answers weighing less than 1 g, but more than on the answer sheet (but there may still 0.3 g. be just one solution). How many 12 cm bands are there in this box knowing that there are 9. DIGIT-REVERSALS AND SQUARES more than 100 rubber bands in (coefficient 9) total? The number 2022 has a remarkable property: the square of its digit-reversal 13. PIPES (coefficient 13) 16. A FISHY PLOT! (coefficient 16) A cylindrical duct Mr. Fish has a plot contains two large and of land in the shape two small pipes of an equilateral tangential to one triangle with a another and to the central pond in the duct, as shown in the shape of a figure. The diameter of curvilinear triangle. each large pipe is 24 cm.

Dominique's age is a prime number less Give the answer in m rounded to the than 100. If we read this age from right nearest m. If necessary, take √2 as to left, we still have a prime number 1.414; √3 as 1.732 and √5 as 2.236. (which may be the same). If we add all the prime numbers that are strictly less than Dominic's age, we get a number that is divisible by this age. How old is Dominique? 18. GRANDFATHER FRANCIS’ ROSETTE (coef. 18) Grandfather Francis helps his granddaughter make a rosette. They cut out seven identical small discs of radius r and a larger disc of radius R. They then glue the seven small discs to the large one, each small disc being tangential to its three neighbours. The radius r is a whole number of mm and the radius R is very close to a whole number of mm, the difference in absolute value being less than one thousandth of a mm. Knowing that r and R are both between 100 and 200 mm, find the value of R. Give the answer in mm, rounded to the nearest mm. Take sin(pi/7) as 0.433884.
