A gambler plays the following coin-tossing game. He can bet an arbitrary positive amount of money. Then a fair coin is tossed, and the gambler wins or loses the amount he bet depending on the outcome. Our gambler, who starts playing with $ x$ forints, where $ 0<x<2C$, uses the following strategy: if at a given time his capital is $ y<C$, he risks all of it; and if he has $ y>C$, he only bets $ 2C\minus{}y$. If he has exactly $ 2C$ forints, he stops playing. Let $ f(x)$ be the probability that he reaches $ 2C$ (before going bankrupt). Determine the value of $ f(x)$.

Pat will add $2019$ to this new number and it will again be Mary’s turn. Both players will continue to take alternating turns. Mary will always multiply the current number by $2017$ and add $2$ to the result when it is her turn. Pat will always add $2019$ to the current number when it is his turn.

Given a set of points in space, a [i]jump[/i] consists of taking two points, $P$ and $Q,$ and replacing $P$ with the reflection of $P$ over $Q$. Find the smallest number $n$ such that for any set of $n$ lattice points in $10$-dimensional-space, it is possible to perform a finite number of jumps so that some two points coincide.

On the table there are $k \ge 3$ heaps of $1, 2, \dots , k$ stones. In the first step, we choose any three of the heaps, merge them into a single new heap, and remove $1$ stone from this new heap. Thereafter, in the $i$-th step ($i \ge 2$) we merge some three heaps containing more than $i$ stones in total and remove $i$ stones from the new heap. Assume that after a number of steps a single heap of $p$ stones remains on the table. Show that the number $p$ is a perfect square if and only if so are both $2k + 2$ and $3k + 1$. Find the least $k$ with this property.

Example 1. Let $n$ be an integer, calculate the following expression: $$ \begin{array}{l} {\left[\frac{n+1}{2}\right]+\left[\frac{n+2}{2^{2}}\right]+\left[\frac{n+2^{2}}{2^{3}}\right]} \\ +\cdots . \end{array} $$ where the symbol $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. (IMO-10) Analysis: In the expression of the problem, the denominators are powers of 2. Since $2^{\mathrm{k}}=(100 \cdots 0)_{2}$, in the binary number system, dividing by 2 is simply shifting the decimal point to the left by $k$ positions. Also, because the binary representation of a decimal integer is necessarily a binary integer, and the binary representation of a decimal pure fraction is necessarily a binary pure fraction, and vice versa, the operation of "taking the integer part" of a positive number in binary is the same as in decimal, which is to simply remove the fractional part. Thus, using binary number operations to solve this problem is very concise.
