Let S be a non-empty set with an associative operation that is left and right cancellative (xy=xz implies y=z, and yx = zx implies y = z). Assume that for every a in S the set {a^n : n = 0,1,2...} is finite. Must S be a group? I haven't had much group theory at this point...

Let K be a bounded, d-dimensional convex polyhedron that is not simplex and P is a point on K. Show that if vertices $P_1 , ..., P_k$ are not all on the same face of K, then one of them can be omitted so that the convex hull of the remaining vertices of K still contains P.

Finitely many polygons are placed in the plane. If for any two polygons of them, there exists a line through origin $O$ that cuts them both, then these polygons are called "properly placed". Find the least $m \in \mathbb{N}$, such that for any group of properly placed polygons, $m$ lines can drawn through $O$ and every polygon is cut by at least one of these $m$ lines.

A sequence of moves is performed starting on the three letter string "$BAD.$'' A move consists of inserting an additional instance of the three letter string "$BAD$'' between any two consecutive letters of the current string, to achieve an elongated string. After $n$ moves, how many distinct possible strings of length $3n+3$ can be achieved? For example, after one move the strings "$BBADAD$'' and "$BABADD$'' are achievable.

Positive integers $m, n$ are such that $mn$ is divisible by $9$ but not divisible by $27$. Rectangle $m \times n$ is cut into corners, each consisting of three cells. There are four types of such corners, depending on their orientation; you can see them on the figure below. Could it happen that the number of corners of each type was the exact square of some positive integer? [i]Proposed by Oleksiy Masalitin[/i] [img]https://i.ibb.co/Y8QSHyf/Kyiv-MO-2023-10-4.png[/img]
