Given a complete bipartite graph on $n,n$ vertices (call this $K_{n,n}$), we colour all its edges with $2$ colours , red and blue . What is the least value of $n$ such that for any colouring of the edges of the graph , there will exist at least one monochromatic $4$ cycle ?

A student adds up rational fractions incorrectly: \[\frac{a}{b}+\frac{x}{y}=\frac{a+x}{b+y}\quad (\star) \] Despite that, he sometimes obtains correct results. For a given fraction $\frac{a}{b},a,b\in\mathbb{Z},b>0$, find all fractions $\frac{x}{y},x,y\in\mathbb{Z},y>0$ such that the result obtained by $(\star)$ is correct.

Let \( \triangle ABC \) be an acute-angled triangle. Let \( D \) and \( E \) be the feet of the altitudes from \( B \) and \( C \), respectively. Let \( E' \) be the reflection of point \( E \) with respect to line \( BD \), which is assumed to lie on the circumcircle of triangle \( \triangle ABC \). Let \( C' \) be the reflection of point \( C \) with respect to line \( BD \). Prove that triangle \( C'AE \) is isosceles and determine the ratio \( AD : DC \).

[b]p1.[/b] A shape made by joining four identical regular hexagons side-to-side is called a hexo. Two hexos are considered the same if one can be rotated / reflected to match the other. Find the number of different hexos. [b]p2.[/b] The sequence $1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6,... $ consists of numbers written in increasing order, where every even number $2n$ is written once, and every odd number $2n + 1$ is written $2n + 1$ times. What is the $2019^{th}$ term of this sequence? [b]p3.[/b] On planet EMCCarth, months can only have lengths of $35$, $36$, or $42$ days, and there is at least one month of each length. Victor knows that an EMCCarth year has $n$ days, but realizes that he cannot figure out how many months there are in an EMCCarth year. What is the least possible value of $n$? [b]p4.[/b] In triangle $ABC$, $AB = 5$ and $AC = 9$. If a circle centered at $A$ passing through $B$ intersects $BC$ again at $D$ and $CD = 7$, what is $BC$?

[b]p9.[/b] In the garden of EMCCden, there is a tree planted at every lattice point $-10 \le x, y \le 10$ except the origin. We say that a tree is visible to an observer if the line between the tree and the observer does not intersect any other tree (assume that all trees have negligible thickness). What fraction of all the trees in the garden of EMCCden are visible to an observer standing at the origin? [b]p10.[/b] Point $P$ lies inside regular pentagon $\zeta$, which lies entirely within regular hexagon $\eta$. A point $Q$ on the boundary of pentagon $\zeta$ is called projective if there exists a point $R$ on the boundary of hexagon $\eta$ such that $P$, $Q$, $R$ are collinear and $2019 \cdot \overline{PQ} = \overline{QR}$. Given that no two sides of $\zeta$ and $\eta$ are parallel, what is the maximum possible number of projective points on $\zeta$? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Let $ S\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be a set of real numbers. We say that a pair $ (f, g)$ of functions from $ S$ into $ S$ is a [i]Spanish Couple[/i] on $ S$, if they satisfy the following conditions: (i) Both functions are strictly increasing, i.e. $ f(x) < f(y)$ and $ g(x) < g(y)$ for all $ x$, $ y\in S$ with $ x < y$; (ii) The inequality $ f\left(g\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\right) < g\left(f\left(x\right)\right)$ holds for all $ x\in S$.

A mouse is playing a game of mouse hopscotch. In mouse hopscotch there is a straight line of $11$ squares, and starting on the first square the mouse must reach the last square by jumping forward $1$, $2$, or $3$ squares at a time (so in particular the mouse’s first jump can be to the second, third, or fourth square). The mouse cannot jump past the last square. Compute the number of ways there are to complete mouse hopscotch.
