2021 Final Mathematical Cup, 4

A number of $n$ lamps ($n\ge 3$) are put at $n$ vertices of a regular $n$-gon. Initially, all the lamps are off. In each step. Lisa will choose three lamps that are located at three vertices of an isosceles triangle and change their states (from off to on and vice versa). Her aim is to turn on all the lamps. At least how many steps are required to do so?

Consider the areas of the four triangles obtained by drawing the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of a trapezium $ABCD$. The product of these areas, taken two at time, are computed. If among the six products so obtained, two products are 1296 and 576, determine the square root of the maximum possible area of the trapezium to the nearest integer.

Denote by $\lambda (H)$ the Lebesgue outer measure of $H\subseteq \left[ 0,1\right]$. The horizontal and vertical sections of the set $A\subseteq [0, 1]\times [ 0, 1]$ are denoted by $A^y$ and $A_x$ respectively; that is, $A^y=\{ x\in [ 0, 1] \colon (x, y) \in A\}$ and $A_x=\{ y\in [ 0, 1]\colon (x,y)\in A\}$ for all $x,y\in [0,1]$. (a) Is there a decomposition $A\cup B$ of the unit square $[0,1]\times [0,1]$ such that $A^y$ is the union of finitely many segments of total length less than $\frac12$ and $\lambda (B_x)\le \frac12$ for all $x, y\in [0,1]$? (b) Is there a decomposition $A\cup B$ of the unit square $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ such that $A^y$ is the union of finitely many segments of total length not greater than $\frac12$ and $\lambda (B_x)<\frac12$ for all $x,y\in [0,1]$?

Keith has $10$ coins labeled $1$ through $10$, where the $i$th coin has weight $2^i$. The coins are all fair, so the probability of flipping heads on any of the coins is $\tfrac{1}{2}$. After flipping all of the coins, Keith takes all of the coins which land heads and measures their total weight, $W$. If the probability that $137\le W\le 1061$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for coprime positive integers $m,n$, determine $m+n$.

1979 IMO Longlists, 4

From a bag containing 5 pairs of socks, each pair a different color, a random sample of 4 single socks is drawn. Any complete pairs in the sample are discarded and replaced by a new pair draw from the bag. The process continues until the bag is empty or there are 4 socks of different colors held outside the bag. What is the probability of the latter alternative?

2017 EGMO, 3

There are $2017$ lines in the plane such that no three of them go through the same point. Turbo the snail sits on a point on exactly one of the lines and starts sliding along the lines in the following fashion: she moves on a given line until she reaches an intersection of two lines. At the intersection, she follows her journey on the other line turning left or right, alternating her choice at each intersection point she reaches. She can only change direction at an intersection point. Can there exist a line segment through which she passes in both directions during her journey?
