Problem Statement

p1. How many 1010-digit strings are there, such that all its digits are only zeros or ones and the sum of its even-place digits equals the sum of the odd-place digits.
p2. Find all pairs (x,y)(x, y) of nonnegative integers, such that x!+24=y2x! + 24 = y^2.
p3. Consider a function f:ZQf: Z \to Q such that f(1)=2015f(1)+f(2)+...+f(n)=n2f(n).f(1) = 2015 \,\,\, \,\, f (1) + f (2) + ...+ f (n) = n^2 f (n). Determine the value of f(2015)f(2015).
p4. Let ABCABC be an isosceles triangle with AB=ACAB = AC, and let DD be the midpoint of BCBC, EE the foot of the perpendicular on ABAB from DD, and F the midpoint of DEDE. Show that AFAF is perpendicular to CECE.
p5. On an island there are only two tribes: the Mienteretes who always lie and the Veritas who always tell the truth. On a certain day there is an assembly attended by 20152015 inhabitants of the island. They sit at random in a circle and each one declares: "the two people next to me are Mienteretes." The next day the assembly continues but one of them became ill, for which 20142014 inhabitants attend, again they sit at random in a circle and each one declares: “The two people next to me are from the same tribe, which is not mine ”. Deduct the number of inhabitants of each tribe and the type of inhabitant to which the patient belongs.
