Find all integers $n$ for which each cell of $n \times n$ table can be filled with one of the letters $I,M$ and $O$ in such a way that: [LIST] [*] in each row and each column, one third of the entries are $I$, one third are $M$ and one third are $O$; and [/*] [*]in any diagonal, if the number of entries on the diagonal is a multiple of three, then one third of the entries are $I$, one third are $M$ and one third are $O$.[/*] [/LIST] [b]Note.[/b] The rows and columns of an $n \times n$ table are each labelled $1$ to $n$ in a natural order. Thus each cell corresponds to a pair of positive integer $(i,j)$ with $1 \le i,j \le n$. For $n>1$, the table has $4n-2$ diagonals of two types. A diagonal of first type consists all cells $(i,j)$ for which $i+j$ is a constant, and the diagonal of this second type consists all cells $(i,j)$ for which $i-j$ is constant.

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be the set of all the functions $f : \mathcal{P}(S) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that for all $X, Y \subseteq S$, we have $f(X \cap Y) = \min (f(X), f(Y))$, where $S$ is a finite set (and $\mathcal{P}(S)$ is the set of its subsets). Find \[\max_{f \in \mathcal{F}}| \textrm{Im}(f) |. \]

A treasure is buried at some point on a round island with a radius of $1$ km. On the coast of the island there is a mathematician with a device that indicates the direction to the treasure when the distance to the treasure does not exceed $500$ m. In addition, the mathematician has a map of the island, on which he can record all his movements, perform measurements and geometric constructions. The mathematician claims that he has an algorithm for how to get to the treasure after walking less than $4$ km. Could this be true? (B. Frenkin)

One country consists of islands $A_1,A_2,\cdots,A_N$,The ministry of transport decided to build some bridges such that anyone will can travel by car from any of the islands $A_1,A_2,\cdots,A_N$ to any another island by one or more of these bridges. For technical reasons the only bridges that can be built is between $A_i$ and $A_{i+1}$ where $i = 1,2,\cdots,N-1$ , and between $A_i$ and $A_N$ where $i<N$. We say that a plan to build some bridges is good if it is satisfies the above conditions , but when we remove any bridge it will not satisfy this conditions. We assume that there is $a_N$ of good plans. Observe that $a_1 = 1$ (The only good plan is to not build any bridge) , and $a_2 = 1$ (We build one bridge). 1-Prove that $a_3 = 3$ 2-Draw at least $5$ different good plans in the case that $N=4$ and the islands are the vertices of a square 3-Compute $a_4$ 4-Compute $a_6$ 5-Prove that there is a positive integer $i$ such that $1438$ divides $a_i$
