There are $3n$ participants in the Mathematical Olympiad competition. They are assigned seats in three rows, with $n$ seats in each, and are admitted into the hall one at a time, after which they immediately take their seats. Calculate the probability that until the last competitor takes his seat, at any moment for each two rows the difference in the number of players sitting in them is no greater than 1.

One-round hockey tournament is finished (each plays with each one time, the winner gets $2$ points, looser -- $0$, and $1$ point for draw). For arbitrary subgroup of teams there exists a team (may be from that subgroup) that has got an odd number of points in the games with the teams of the subgroup. Prove that there was even number of the participants.

The Bank of Zürich issues coins with an $H$ on one side and a $T$ on the other side. Alice has $n$ of these coins arranged in a line from left to right. She repeatedly performs the following operation: if some coin is showing its $H$ side, Alice chooses a group of consecutive coins (this group must contain at least one coin) and flips all of them; otherwise, all coins show $T$ and Alice stops. For instance, if $n = 3$, Alice may perform the following operations: $THT \to HTH \to HHH \to TTH \to TTT$. She might also choose to perform the operation $THT \to TTT$. For each initial configuration $C$, let $m(C)$ be the minimal number of operations that Alice must perform. For example, $m(THT) = 1$ and $m(TTT) = 0$. For every integer $n \geq 1$, determine the largest value of $m(C)$ over all $2^n$ possible initial configurations $C$. [i]Massimiliano Foschi, Italy[/i]
