Streets of Moscow are some circles (rings) with common center $O$ and some straight lines from center $O$ to external ring. Point $A,B$ - two crossroads on external ring. Three friends want to move from $A$ to $B$. Dima goes by external ring, Kostya goes from $A$ to $O$ then to $B$. Sergey says, that there is another way, that is shortest. Prove, that he is wrong.

The sequence of letters [b]TAGC[/b] is written in succession 55 times on a strip, as shown below. The strip is to be cut into segments between letters, leaving strings of letters on each segment, which we call words. For example, a cut after the first G, after the second T, and after the second C would yield the words [b]TAG[/b], [b]CT[/b] and [b]AGC[/b]. At most how many distinct words could be found if the entire strip were cut? Justify your answer.

Let ${ABC}$ be a triangle. Line [i]l[/i] is parallel to ${BC}$ and it respectively intersects side ${AB}$ at point ${D}$, side ${AC}$ at point ${E}$, and the circumcircle of the triangle ${ABC}$ at points ${F}$ and ${G}$, where points ${F,D,E,G}$ lie in this order on [i]l[/i]. The circumcircles of triangles ${FEB}$ and ${DGC}$ intersect at points ${P}$ and ${Q}$. Prove that points ${A, P,Q}$ are collinear.

A parallelepiped is cut by a plane along a 6-gon. Supposed this 6-gon can be put into a certain rectangle $ \pi$ (which means one can put the rectangle $ \pi$ on the parallelepiped's plane such that the 6-gon is completely covered by the rectangle). Show that one also can put one of the parallelepiped' faces into the rectangle $ \pi.$

For $n(n\geq3)$ positive intengers $a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n$. Put the numbers on a circle. In each operation, calculate difference between two adjacent numbers and take its absolute value. Put the $n$ numbers we get on another ciecle (do not change their order). Find all $n$, satisfying that no matter how $a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n$ are given, all numbers on the circle are equal after limited operations.

There's a convex $3n$-polygon on the plane with a robot on each of it's vertices. Each robot fires a laser beam toward another robot. On each of your move,you select a robot to rotate counter clockwise until it's laser point a new robot. Three robots $A$, $B$ and $C$ form a triangle if $A$'s laser points at $B$, $B$'s laser points at $C$, and $C$'s laser points at $A$. Find the minimum number of moves that can guarantee $n$ triangles on the plane.

There are eight rooms on the first floor of a hotel, with four rooms on each side of the corridor, symmetrically situated (that is each room is exactly opposite to one other room). Four guests have to be accommodated in four of the eight rooms (that is, one in each) such that no two guests are in adjacent rooms or in opposite rooms. In how many ways can the guests be accommodated?
