Determine the greatest positive integer $k$ that satisfies the following property: The set of positive integers can be partitioned into $k$ subsets $A_{1}, A_{2}, \ldots, A_{k}$ such that for all integers $n \geq 15$ and all $i \in\{1,2, \ldots, k\}$ there exist two distinct elements of $A_{i}$ whose sum is $n$.

Let $m$ be a positive integer and consider a checkerboard consisting of $m$ by $m$ unit squares. At the midpoints of some of these unit squares there is an ant. At time 0, each ant starts moving with speed 1 parallel to some edge of the checkerboard. When two ants moving in opposite directions meet, they both turn $90^{\circ}$ clockwise and continue moving with speed 1 . When more than two ants meet, or when two ants moving in perpendicular directions meet, the ants continue moving in the same direction as before they met. When an ant reaches one of the edges of the checkerboard, it falls off and will not re-appear. Considering all possible starting positions, determine the latest possible moment at which the last ant falls off the checkerboard or prove that such a moment does not necessarily exist.

On a square table of 2011 by 2011 cells we place a finite number of napkins that each cover a square of 52 by 52 cells. In each cell we write the number of napkins covering it, and we record the maximal number $k$ of cells that all contain the same nonzero number. Considering all possible napkin configurations, what is the largest value of $k$ ?

For each positive integer $k$, let $t(k)$ be the largest odd divisor of $k$. Determine all positive integers $a$ for which there exists a positive integer $n$ such that all the differences $$ t(n+a)-t(n), \quad t(n+a+1)-t(n+1), \quad \ldots, \quad t(n+2 a-1)-t(n+a-1) $$ are divisible by 4 .

Let $x_{1}, \ldots, x_{100}$ be nonnegative real numbers such that $x_{i}+x_{i+1}+x_{i+2} \leq 1$ for all $i=1, \ldots, 100$ (we put $x_{101}=x_{1}, x_{102}=x_{2}$ ). Find the maximal possible value of the sum $$ S=\sum_{i=1}^{100} x_{i} x_{i+2} $$

On some planet, there are $2^{N}$ countries $(N \geq 4)$. Each country has a flag $N$ units wide and one unit high composed of $N$ fields of size $1 \times 1$, each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag. We say that a set of $N$ flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an $N \times N$ square so that all $N$ fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer $M$ such that among any $M$ distinct flags, there exist $N$ flags forming a diverse set.

2500 chess kings have to be placed on a $100 \times 100$ chessboard so that (i) no king can capture any other one (i.e. no two kings are placed in two squares sharing a common vertex); (ii) each row and each column contains exactly 25 kings. Find the number of such arrangements. (Two arrangements differing by rotation or symmetry are supposed to be different.)

A diagonal of a regular 2006-gon is called odd if its endpoints divide the boundary into two parts, each composed of an odd number of sides. Sides are also regarded as odd diagonals. Suppose the 2006-gon has been dissected into triangles by 2003 nonintersecting diagonals. Find the maximum possible number of isosceles triangles with two odd sides.
