A physicist encounters $2015$ atoms called usamons. Each usamon either has one electron or zero electrons, and the physicist can't tell the difference. The physicist's only tool is a diode. The physicist may connect the diode from any usamon $A$ to any other usamon $B$. (This connection is directed.) When she does so, if usamon $A$ has an electron and usamon $B$ does not, then the electron jumps from $A$ to $B$. In any other case, nothing happens. In addition, the physicist cannot tell whether an electron jumps during any given step. The physicist's goal is to isolate two usamons that she is sure are currently in the same state. Is there any series of diode usage that makes this possible? [i]Proposed by Linus Hamilton[/i]

Consider an arrangement of tokens in the plane, not necessarily at distinct points. We are allowed to apply a sequence of moves of the following kind: select a pair of tokens at points $A$ and $B$ and move both of them to the midpoint of $A$ and $B$. We say that an arrangement of $n$ tokens is [i]collapsible[/i] if it is possible to end up with all $n$ tokens at the same point after a finite number of moves. Prove that every arrangement of $n$ tokens is collapsible if and only if $n$ is a power of $2$.

Let $L_i,\ i=1,2,3$, be line segments on the sides of an equilateral triangle, one segment on each side, with lengths $l_i,\ i=1,2,3$. By $L_i^{\ast}$ we denote the segment of length $l_i$ with its midpoint on the midpoint of the corresponding side of the triangle.
