The sequence $1, 2, \dots, 2023, 2024$ is written on a whiteboard. Every second, Megavan chooses two integers $a$ and $b$, and four consecutive numbers on the whiteboard. Then counting from the left, he adds $a$ to the 1st and 3rd of those numbers, and adds $b$ to the 2nd and 4th of those numbers. Can he achieve the sequence $2024, 2023, \dots, 2, 1$ in a finite number of moves? (Proposed by Avan Lim Zenn Ee)

Zscoder has an simple undirected graph $G$ with $n\ge 3$ vertices. Navi labels a positive integer to each vertex, and places a token at one of the vertex. This vertex is now marked red. In each turn, Zscoder plays with following rule: $\bullet$ If the token is currently at vertex $v$ with label $t$, then he can move the token along the edges in $G$ (possibly repeating some edges) exactly $t$ times. After these $t$ moves, he marks the current vertex red where the token is at if it is unmarked, or does nothing otherwise, then finishes the turn. Zscoder claims that he can mark all vertices in $G$ red after finite number of turns, regardless of Navi's labels and starting vertex. What is the minimum number of edges must $G$ have, in terms of $n$? Proposed by Yeoh Zi Song
Let $n$ be an odd integer and $m=\phi(n)$ be the Euler's totient function.

Define the set $S_n$ consisting of the residues $$\sum_{i=1}^k a_i ^m\pmod{n}$$over all possible residue sets $T=\{a_1,\cdots,a_k\}$ that is good. Determine $|S_n|$. Proposed by Anzo Teh Zhao Yang

A finite sequence of decimal digits from $\{0,1,\cdots, 9\}$ is said to be common if for each sufficiently large positive integer $n$, there exists a positive integer $m$ such that the expansion of $n$ in base $m$ ends with this sequence of digits. For example, $0$ is common because for any large $n$, the expansion of $n$ in base $n$ is $10$, whereas $00$ is not common because for any squarefree $n$, the expansion of $n$ in any base cannot end with $00$. Determine all common sequences. Proposed by Wong Jer Ren

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and Megavan has a $(3n+1)\times (3n+1)$ board. All squares, except one, are tiled by non-overlapping $1\times 3$ triominoes. In each step, he can choose a triomino that is untouched in the step right before it, and then shift this triomino horizontally or vertically by one square, as long as the triominoes remain non-overlapping after this move. Show that there exist some $k$, such that after $k$ moves Megavan can no longer make any valid moves irregardless of the initial configuration, and find the smallest possible $k$ for each $n$. (Note: While he cannot undo a move immediately before the current step, he may still choose to move a triomino that has already been moved at least two steps before.) Proposed by Ivan Chan Kai Chin
