A grasshopper starts at the origin in the coordinate plane and makes a sequence of hops. Each hop has length $5$, and after each hop the grasshopper is at a point whose coordinates are both integers; thus, there are $12$ possible locations for the grasshopper after the first hop. What is the smallest number of hops needed for the grasshopper to reach the point $(2021,2021)$?

A balance has a left pan, a right pan, and a pointer that moves along a graduated ruler. Like many other grocer balances, this one works as follows: An object of weight $ L$ is placed in the left pan and another of weight $ R$ in the right pan, the pointer stops at the number $ R \minus{} L$ on the graduated ruler. There are $ n, (n \geq 2)$ bags of coins, each containing $ \frac{n(n\minus{}1)}{2} \plus{} 1$ coins. All coins look the same (shape, color, and so on). $ n\minus{}1$ bags contain real coins, all with the same weight. The other bag (we don’t know which one it is) contains false coins. All false coins have the same weight, and this weight is different from the weight of the real coins. A legal weighing consists of placing a certain number of coins in one of the pans, putting a certain number of coins in the other pan, and reading the number given by the pointer in the graduated ruler. With just two legal weighings it is possible to identify the bag containing false coins. Find a way to do this and explain it.

Charlotte the cat is placed at the origin of the coordinate plane, such that the positive $x$ direction is pointing east, and the positive $y$ direction is pointing north. Then, every single lattice square (a unit square with vertices all on lattice points) in the first quadrant whose southwest vertex is a lattice point with both odd coordinates is completely removed. Charlotte can traverse the coordinate plane by drawing a segment between two valid vertices, given that they do not intersect a lattice square that has not been removed. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ denote the distances of the first and second shortest paths Charlotte can take to $(5,7),$ respectively. Find $P_1-P_2.$

A regular tetrahedron of height $h$ has a tetrahedron of height $xh$ cut off by a plane parallel to the base. When the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, it is just on the point of falling over. (In other words, when the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, the projection of the center of gravity G of the frustrum is a point of the minor base of this slant face.)

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle with incenter $I$ and circumcenter $O$. The incircle touches sides $BC,CA,$ and $AB$ at $D,E,$ and $F$ respectively, and $A'$ is the reflection of $A$ over $O$. The circumcircles of $ABC$ and $A'EF$ meet at $G$, and the circumcircles of $AMG$ and $A'EF$ meet at a point $H\neq G$, where $M$ is the midpoint of $EF$. Prove that if $GH$ and $EF$ meet at $T$, then $DT\perp EF$.

The vertices of a convex $1991$-gon are enumerated with integers from $1$ to $1991$. Each side and diagonal of the $1991$-gon is colored either red or blue. Prove that, for an arbitrary renumeration of vertices, one can find integers $k$ and $l$ such that the segment connecting the vertices numbered $k$ and $l$ before the renumeration has the same color as the segment connecting the vertices numbered $k$ and $l$ after the renumeration.

There is a frog in every vertex of a regular 2n-gon with circumcircle($n \geq 2$). At certain time, all frogs jump to the neighborhood vertices simultaneously (There can be more than one frog in one vertex). We call it as $\textsl{a way of jump}$. It turns out that there is $\textsl{a way of jump}$ with respect to 2n-gon, such that the line connecting any two distinct vertice having frogs on it after the jump, does not pass through the circumcentre of the 2n-gon. Find all possible values of $n$.
