We are given a fixed point on the circle of radius $1$, and going from this point along the circumference in the positive direction on curved distances $0, 1, 2, \ldots $ from it we obtain points with abscisas $n = 0, 1, 2, .\ldots$ respectively. How many points among them should we take to ensure that some two of them are less than the distance $\frac 15$ apart ?

2007 Middle European Mathematical Olympiad, 3

A tetrahedron is called a [i]MEMO-tetrahedron[/i] if all six sidelengths are different positive integers where one of them is $ 2$ and one of them is $ 3$. Let $ l(T)$ be the sum of the sidelengths of the tetrahedron $ T$. (a) Find all positive integers $ n$ so that there exists a MEMO-Tetrahedron $ T$ with $ l(T)\equal{}n$. (b) How many pairwise non-congruent MEMO-tetrahedrons $ T$ satisfying $ l(T)\equal{}2007$ exist? Two tetrahedrons are said to be non-congruent if one cannot be obtained from the other by a composition of reflections in planes, translations and rotations. (It is not neccessary to prove that the tetrahedrons are not degenerate, i.e. that they have a positive volume).

A soccer coach named $C$ does a header drill with two players $A$ and $B$, but they all forgot to put sunscreen on their foreheads. They solve this issue by dunking the ball into a vat of sunscreen before starting the drill. Coach $C$ heads the ball to $A$, who heads the ball back to $C$, who then heads the ball to $B$, who heads the ball back to $C$; this pattern $CACBCACB\ldots\,$ repeats ad infinitum. Each time a person heads the ball, $1/10$ of the sunscreen left on the ball ends up on the person's forehead. In the limit, what fraction of the sunscreen originally on the ball will end up on the coach's forehead?

In a $2024 \times 2024$ grid of squares, each square is colored either black or white. An ant starts at some black square in the grid and starts walking parallel to the sides of the grid. During this walk, it can choose (not required) to turn $90^\circ$ clockwise or counterclockwise if it is currently on a black square, otherwise it must continue walking in the same direction. A coloring of the grid is called [i]simple[/i] if it is [b]not[/b] possible for the ant to arrive back at its starting location after some time. How many simple colorings of the grid are maximal, in the sense that adding any black square results in a coloring that is not simple?

$33$ counters are shown in the left grid below. Choose a counter to start at and remove it from the grid. At each subsequent step, choose a direction (up, down, left, or right), move along the grid line from your current position to the nearest counter in that direction, and remove that counter. You cannot choose a direction that reverses your previous one (e.g., left then right is not allowed). Your goal is to pick up all $33$ counters in a single sequence of steps. When you find the right sequence, write the numbers $1$ to $33$ on the counters so that $N$ is written on the $N$th counter you removed. A smaller example of a solved grid is shown to the right below. (Note that the final move from $8$ to $9$ is possible because counters $3, 4,$ and $5$ have been removed in earlier steps.) There is a unique solution, but you do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible. You merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

Fifteen freshmen are sitting in a circle around a table, but the course assistant (who remains standing) has made only six copies of today’s handout. No freshman should get more than one handout, and any freshman who does not get one should be able to read a neighbor’s.
