Let $S\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a closed set and $f:\mathbb{R}^{2n}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. Define a graph $G$ as follows: Let $x$ be a vertex of $G$ iff $x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $f(x,x)\not\in S$, then connect the vertices $x$ and $y$ by an edge in $G$ iff $f(x,y)\in S$ or $f(y,x)\in S$. Show that the chromatic number of $G$ is countable.

Nine pairwise noncongruent circles are drawn in the plane such that any two circles intersect twice. For each pair of circles, we draw the line through these two points, for a total of $\binom 92 = 36$ lines. Assume that all $36$ lines drawn are distinct. What is the maximum possible number of points which lie on at least two of the drawn lines?

1996 All-Russian Olympiad, 6

Three sergeants and several solders serve in a platoon. The sergeants take turns on duty. The commander has given the following orders: (a) Each day, at least one task must be issued to a soldier. (b) No soldier may have more than two task or receive more than one tasks in a single day. (c) The lists of soldiers receiving tasks for two different days must not be the same. (d) The first sergeant violating any of these orders will be jailed. Can at least one of the sergeants, without conspiring with the others, give tasks according to these rules and avoid being jailed?

In rectangular coordinate system, define that if and only if both $x$-axis and $y$-axis of a point are integers, we call it itegral point. $I$ is set of all lines, $M$ is set of lines that pass exactly one intengral point, $N$ is set of lines that pass no itengral point, $P$ is set of lines that pass infinitely many itengral points.

For a positive integer $n \ge 1,$ let $a_n=\lfloor \sqrt[3]{n}+\tfrac{1}{2}\rfloor.$ Given a positive integer $N \ge 1,$ let $\mathcal{F}_N$ denote the set of positive integers $n \ge 1$ such that $a_n \le N.$ Let $S_N = \sum_{n \in \mathcal{F}_N} \tfrac{1}{a_n^2}.$ As $N$ goes to infinity, the quantity $S_N - 3N$ tends to $\tfrac{a\pi^2}{b}$ for relatifvely prime positive integers $a,b.$ Given that $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \tfrac{1}{k^2} = \tfrac{\pi^2}{6},$ find $a+b.$
