An ant is currently on a vertex of the top face on a 6-sided die. The ant wants to travel to the opposite vertex of the die (the vertex that is farthest from the start), and the ant can travel along edges of the die to other vertices that are on the top face of the die. Every second, the ant picks a valid edge to move along, and the die randomly flips to an adjacent face. If the ant is on any of the bottom vertices after the flip, it is crushed and dies. What is the probability that the ant makes it to its target? (If the ant makes it to the target and the die rolls to crush it, it achieved its dreams before dying, so this counts.)

$101$ wise men stand in a circle. Each of them either thinks that the Earth orbits Jupiter or that Jupiter orbits the Earth. Once a minute, all the wise men express their opinion at the same time. Right after that, every wise man who stands between two people with a different opinion from him changes his opinion himself. The rest do not change. Prove that at one point they will all stop changing opinions.

Let $P(x)$ be a nonconstant complex coefficient polynomial and let $Q(x,y)=P(x)-P(y).$ Suppose that polynomial $Q(x,y)$ has exactly $k$ linear factors unproportional two by tow (without counting repetitons). Let $R(x,y)$ be factor of $Q(x,y)$ of degree strictly smaller than $k$. Prove that $R(x,y)$ is a product of linear polynomials. [b]Note: [/b] The [i]degree[/i] of nontrivial polynomial $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}c_{m,n}x^{m}y^{n}$ is the maximum of $m+n$ along all nonzero coefficients $c_{m,n}.$ Two polynomials are [i]proportional[/i] if one of them is the other times a complex constant.

Consider a $7 \times 7$ grid of squares. Let $f:\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\} \rightarrow \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$ be a function; in other words, $f(1), f(2), \dots, f(7)$ are each (not necessarily distinct) integers from 1 to 7. In the top row of the grid, the numbers from 1 to 7 are written in order; in every other square, $f(x)$ is written where $x$ is the number above the square. How many functions have the property that the bottom row is identical to the top row, and no other row is identical to the top row?
