The set of three-digit natural numbers formed from digits $1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ is called [i]nice [/i] if it satisfies the following condition: for any two different digits from $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ there exists a number from the set which contains both of them. For any nice set we calculate the sum of all its elements. Determine the smallest possible value of these sums. (E. Barabanov)

On a flat plane in Camelot, King Arthur builds a labyrinth $\mathfrak{L}$ consisting of $n$ walls, each of which is an infinite straight line. No two walls are parallel, and no three walls have a common point. Merlin then paints one side of each wall entirely red and the other side entirely blue. At the intersection of two walls there are four corners: two diagonally opposite corners where a red side and a blue side meet, one corner where two red sides meet, and one corner where two blue sides meet. At each such intersection, there is a two-way door connecting the two diagonally opposite corners at which sides of different colours meet. After Merlin paints the walls, Morgana then places some knights in the labyrinth. The knights can walk through doors, but cannot walk through walls. Let $k(\mathfrak{L})$ be the largest number $k$ such that, no matter how Merlin paints the labyrinth $\mathfrak{L},$ Morgana can always place at least $k$ knights such that no two of them can ever meet. For each $n,$ what are all possible values for $k(\mathfrak{L}),$ where $\mathfrak{L}$ is a labyrinth with $n$ walls?

Given a triangle $ABC$, let $P$ and $Q$ be points on segments $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$, respectively, such that $AP=AQ$. Let $S$ and $R$ be distinct points on segment $\overline{BC}$ such that $S$ lies between $B$ and $R$, $\angle BPS=\angle PRS$, and $\angle CQR=\angle QSR$. Prove that $P,Q,R,S$ are concyclic (in other words, these four points lie on a circle).

A ticket for the tram costs 1 leva. On the queue in front of the ticket seller are standing $n$ people with a banknote of 1 leva and $m$ people with a banknote of 2 leva. The ticket seller has no money in his cash deck so he can only sell a ticket to a buyer with a banknote of 2 leva, if he has at least 1 banknote of 1 leva. Determine the probability that the ticket seller could sell tickets to all of the people standing in the queue.

The city of Atlantis is built on an island represented by $[ -1, 1]$, with skyline initially given by $f(x) = 1 - |x| $. The sea level is currently $y=0$, but due to global warming, it is rising at a rate of $0.01$ a year. For any position $-1 < x < 1$, while the building at $x$ is not completely submerged, then it is instantaneously being built upward at a rate of $r$ per year, where $r$ is the distance (along the $x$-axis) from this building to the nearest completely submerged building. How long will it be until Atlantis becomes completely submerged? [i]Proposed by Ethan Tan[/i]
