| A3. Given an n x n square board, with n even. Two distinct squares of the board are said to be adjacent if they share a common side, but a square is not adjacent to itself. Find the minimum number of squares that can be marked so that every square (marked or not) is adjacent to at least one marked square. |

| B1. Find all pairs (n, p) of positive integers, such that: p is prime; n ≤ 2p; and (p - 1)n + 1 is divisible by np-1. |

| B2. The circles C1 and C2 lie inside the circle C, and are tangent to it at M and N, respectively. C1 passes through the center of C2. The common chord of C1 and C2, when extended, meets C at A and B. The lines MA and MB meet C1 again at E and F. Prove that the line EF is tangent to C2. |
