In each cell of a square table of size $n \times n$ cells ($n \ge 3$) the number $1$ or $-1$ is written. If you take any two lines, multiply numbers standing above each other in them and add the n resulting products, then the sum will be equal to $0$. Prove that the number $n$ is divisible by $4$.

There are two triangles $ABC$ and $BKL$ on the plane so that the segment $AK$ is divided into three equal parts by the point of intersection of the medians $\vartriangle ABC$ and the point of intersection of the bisectors $ \vartriangle BKL $ ($AK $ - median $ \vartriangle ABC$, $KA$ - bisector $\vartriangle BKL $) and quadrilateral $KALC $ is trapezoid. Find the angles of the triangle $BKL$. (Bogdan Rublev)

Given a non-zero integer $y$ and a positive integer $n$. If $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \in \mathbb{Z} - \{0, 1\}$ and $z \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ satisfy $(x_1x_2 \ldots x_n)^2y \le 2^{2(n+1)}$ and $x_1x_2 \ldots x_ny = z + 1$, prove that there is a prime among $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, z$. [color=blue]It appears that the problem statement is incorrect; suppose $y = 5, n = 2$, then $x_1 = x_2 = -1$ and $z = 4$. They all satisfy the problem's conditions, but none of $x_1, x_2, z$ is a prime. What should the problem be, or did I misinterpret the problem badly?[/color]

We have some identical paper squares which are black on one side of the sheet and white on the other side. We can join nine squares together to make a $3$ by $3$ sheet of squares by placing each of the nine squares either white side up or black side up. Two of these $3$ by $3$ sheets are distinguishable if neither can be made to look like the other by rotating the sheet or by turning it over. How many distinguishable $3$ by $3$ squares can we form?

A hollow cylinder with a very thin wall (like a toilet paper tube) and a block are placed at rest at the top of a plane with inclination $\theta$ above the horizontal. The cylinder rolls down the plane without slipping and the block slides down the plane; it is found that both objects reach the bottom of the plane simultaneously. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane? (A) $0$ (B) $\frac{1}{3}\tan \theta$ (C) $\frac{1}{2}\tan \theta$ (D) $\frac{2}{3}\tan \theta$ (E) $\tan \theta$

At first a fair dice is placed in such way the spot $1$ is shown on the top face. After that, select a face from the four sides at random, the process that the side would be the top face is repeated $n$ times. Note the sum of the spots of opposite face is 7. (1) Find the probability such that the spot $1$ would appear on the top face after the $n$-repetition. (2) Find the expected value of the number of the spot on the top face after the $n$-repetition.
