A finite sequence is said to be [i]disorderly[/i], if no two terms of the sequence have their average in between them. For example, $(0, 2, 1)$ is disorderly, for $1 = \frac{0+2}{2}$ is not in between $0$ and $2$, and the other averages $\frac{0+1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2+1}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ do not even occur in the sequence.
Prove that for every $n \in \Bbb{N}$ there is a disorderly sequence enumerating the numbers $0, 1,\ldots , n$ without repetitions.

A tetrahedron is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces. Faces $ABC$ and $BCD$ of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ meet at an angle of $\pi/6$. The area of triangle $\triangle ABC$ is $120$. The area of triangle $\triangle BCD$ is $80$, and $BC = 10$. What is the volume of the tetrahedron? We call the volume of a tetrahedron as one-third the area of it's base times it's height.

An $80 \times 80$ grid is colored orange and black. A square is black if and only if either the square below it or the square to the left of it is black, but not both (If there is no such square, consider it as if it were orange). The only exception is the bottom left square, which is black. Consider the diagonal from the upper left to the lower right. How many black squares does this diagonal have?

Consider $A, B$ and $C$ three collinear points of the plane such that $B$ is between $A$ and $C$. Let $S$ be the circle of diameter $AB$ and $L$ a line that passes through $C$, which does not intersect $S$ and is not perpendicular to line $AC$. The points $M$ and $N$ are, respectively, the feet of the altitudes drawn from $A$ and $B$ on the line $L$. From $C$ draw the two tangent lines to $S$, where $P$ is the closest tangency point to $L$. Prove that the quadrilateral $MPBC$ is cyclic if and only if the lines $MB$ and $AN$ are perpendicular.

Let $f(x)$ be a non-constant polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(1) \neq 1$. For a positive integer $n$, define $\text{divs}(n)$ to be the set of positive divisors of $n$.
A positive integer $m$ is $f$-cool if there exists a positive integer $n$ for which $$f[\text{divs}(m)]=\text{divs}(n).$$
Prove that for any such $f$, there are finitely many $f$-cool integers.
(The notation $f[S]$ for some set $S$ denotes the set $\{f(s):s \in S\}$.)

Let $m,n,k$ be positive integers, $m> n> k$. An $1 \times m$ strip of paper is divided into the $1 \times 1$ cells. A teacher asks Bill and Pit to place numbers $0$ and $1$ in the cells of the strip so that the sum of the numbers in any $n$ consecutive cells is equal to $k$. After the task was performed it turned out that the sum $S(B)$ of all numbers on the strip of Bill was different from the sum $S(P)$ of Pit.
Find the largest possible value of $|S(B) - S(P) |$.
