Some friends formed $6$ football teams, and decided to hold a tournament where each team faces each other exactly once in a match. In each match, whoever wins gets $3$ points, whoever loses gets no points, and if the two teams draw, each gets $1$ point. At the end of the tournament, it was found that the teams' scores were $10$, $9$, $6$, $6$, $4$ and $2$ points. Regarding this tournament, answer the following items, justifying your answer in each one. (a) How many matches ended in a draw in the tournament? (b) Determine, for each of the $6$ teams, the number of wins, draws and losses. (c) If we consider only the matches played between the team that scored $9$ points against the two teams that scored $6$ points, and the one played between the two teams that scored $6$ points, explain why among these three matches, there are at least $2$ draws.

2021 Taiwan TST Round 1, 6

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $N=n^{2021}$. There are $2021$ concentric circles centered at $O$, and $N$ equally-spaced rays are emitted from point $O$. Among the $2021N$ intersections of the circles and the rays, some are painted red while the others remain unpainted. It is known that, no matter how one intersection point from each circle is chosen, there is an angle $\theta$ such that after a rotation of $\theta$ with respect to $O$, all chosen points are moved to red points. Prove that the minimum number of red points is $2021n^{2020}$. [I]Proposed by usjl.[/i]

Given a finite set $B$ of points in space, any two distances between the points of this set are different. Each point of the set $B$ is connected by a line segment to the closest point of the set $B$. This way we will get a set of sections, one of which (any chosen one) we paint red, all the remaining sections we paint green. Prove that there are two points of the set $B$ that cannot be connected by a line composed of green segments.

We call an even positive integer $n$ [i]nice[/i] if the set $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ can be partitioned into $\frac{n}{2}$ two-element subsets, such that the sum of the elements in each subset is a power of $3$. For example, $6$ is nice, because the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ can be partitioned into subsets $\{1, 2\}$, $\{3, 6\}$, $\{4, 5\}$. Find the number of nice positive integers which are smaller than $3^{2022}$.

[b]Classical Probability Distribution for Quantum States?[/b] The goal of this problem is to try and mimic a Statistical Mechanics approach to Quantum Mechanics. In Classical Statistical Mechanics one has the usual Gibbs-Boltzmann Formula which gives the probability distribution in phase-space to be: \[ \rho(x_1,\dots,x_n,p_1,\dots,p_n) \sim \exp(-\beta H(x_1,\dots,x_n,p_1,\dots,p_n))\] where $H$ is the Hamiltonian of the system. [list=1] [*] Why can't we demand a similar probability distribution over phase-space in Quantum Mechanics? \\ If the wave function $\psi(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ is given, we construct the following expression: \begin{align*} \begin{split} & P(x_1,\dots,x_n,p_1,\dots,p_n) \\ & = \left(\frac{1}{\pi\hbar}\right)^n \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \dots \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dy_1\dots dy_n \psi^*(x_1+y_1,\dots,x_n+y_n) \\ & \times \psi(x_1-y_1,\dots,x_n-y_n) \exp\left(\frac{2i}{\hbar}(p_1y_1+\dots+p_ny_n)\right) \end{split} \end{align*}[/*] [*] Show that, \[ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\dots\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dp_1\dots dp_n P(x_1,\dots,x_n,p_1,\dots,p_n) = \left|\psi(x_1,\dots,x_n)\right|^2\] which are the correct probabilities for the co-ordinates. [/*] [*] Show that, \[ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\dots\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dx_1\dots dx_n \, P(x_1,\dots,x_n,p_1,\dots,p_n) = \left|\tilde{\psi}(p_1,\dots,p_n)\right|^2\] which are the correct probabilities for the momenta where, \[ \tilde{\psi}(p_1,\dots,p_n) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\dots\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dx_1\dots dx_n \psi(x_1,\dots,x_n) \exp\left(-\frac{i}{\hbar}(x_1p_1+\dots+x_np_n)\right)\] is the Fourier transform of the wave-function $\psi(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. [/*] [*] The function $P$ defined above therefore seems to be a good candidate for a probability distribution in Quantum Mechanics. Would this not contradict part (a)? Give reasons to support your answer. [/*] [/list]

An equilateral triangle is given. A point lies on the incircle of this triangle. If the smallest two distances from the point to the sides of the triangle is $1$ and $4$, the sidelength of this equilateral triangle can be expressed as $\tfrac{a\sqrt b}c$ where $(a,c)=1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the square of an integer greater than $1$. Find $a+b+c$.
