The Queen of Hearts rules a kingdom with $n$ (distinguishable) cities. Each pair of cities is either connected with a bridge or not connected with a bridge. Each day, the Queen of Hearts visits $2021$ cities. For every pair of cities, if she sees a bridge she gets angry and destroys it; otherwise she feels nice and constructs a bridge between them. We call two configurations of bridges [i]equivalent[/i] if one can be reached from the other after a finite number of days. Show that there is some integer $M$ such that if $n>M$, two configurations are equivalent if both of the following conditions hold:
[list]
[*] The parity of the total number of bridges is the same in both configurations
[*] For every city, the parity of the number of bridges going out of that city is the same in both configurations.
[/list]

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle, and let the angle bisectors of its angles $ CAB$ and $ ABC$ meet the sides $ BC$ and $ CA$ at the points $ D$ and $ F$, respectively. The lines $ AD$ and $ BF$ meet the line through the point $ C$ parallel to $ AB$ at the points $ E$ and $ G$ respectively, and we have $ FG \equal{} DE$. Prove that $ CA \equal{} CB$.
[i]Original formulation:[/i]
Let $ ABC$ be a triangle and $ L$ the line through $ C$ parallel to the side $ AB.$ Let the internal bisector of the angle at $ A$ meet the side $ BC$ at $ D$ and the line $ L$ at $ E$ and let the internal bisector of the angle at $ B$ meet the side $ AC$ at $ F$ and the line $ L$ at $ G.$ If $ GF \equal{} DE,$ prove that $ AC \equal{} BC.$

Two different $3$ digit numbers are picked and then for every of them is calculated sum of all $5$ numbers which are getting when digits of picked number change place (etc. if one of the number is $707$, the sum is $2401=770+77+77+770+707$). Do the given results must be different?

a) A lamp of a lighthouse enlights an angle of $90$ degrees. Prove that you can turn the lamps of four arbitrary posed lighthouses so, that all the plane will be enlightened.
b) There are eight lamps in eight points of the space. Each can enlighten an octant (three-faced space polygon with three mutually orthogonal edges). Prove that you can turn them so, that all the space will be enlightened.

We have placed some red and blue points along a circle. The following operations are permitted:
(a) we may add a red point somewhere and switch the color of its neighbors,
(b) we may take off a red point from somewhere and switch the color of its neighbors (if there are at least $3$ points on the circle and there is a red one too).
Initially, there are two blue points on the circle. Using a number of these operations, can we reach a state with exactly two red point?

Prove that for any integer $n$, $n\geq 3$, there exist $n$ positive integers $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n$ in arithmetic progression, and $n$ positive integers in geometric progression $b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n$ such that

[*] If no such pair exists, we write two times the number $0$.

For any positive integer $n$, consider its binary representation. Denote by $f(n)$ the number we get after removing all the $0$'s in its binary representation, and $g(n)$ the number of $1$'s in the binary representation. For example, $f(19) = 7$ and $g(19) = 3.$
Find all positive integers $n$ that satisfy
$$n = f(n)^{g(n)}.$$
