Consider a grid board of $n \times n$, with $n \ge 5$. Two unit squares are said to be far [i]apart [/i] if they are neither on the same row nor on consecutive rows and neither in the same column nor in consecutive columns. Take $3$ rectangles with vertices and sides on the points and lines of board so that if two unit squares belong to different rectangles, then they are [i]apart [/i]. In how many ways is it possible to do this?

Starting with a $5 \times 5$ grid, choose a $4 \times 4$ square in it. Then, choose a $3 \times 3$ square in the $4 \times 4$ square, and a $2 \times 2$ square in the $3 \times 3$ square, and a $1 \times 1$ square in the $2 \times 2$ square. Assuming all squares chosen are made of unit squares inside the grid. In how many ways can the squares be chosen so that the final $1 \times 1$ square is the center of the original $5 \times 5$ grid?

Given a set $X=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ of natural numbers in which for all $1< i \leq n$ we have $1\leq x_i-x_{i-1}\leq 2$, call a real number $a$ [b]good[/b] if there exists $1\leq j \leq n$ such that $2|x_j-a|\leq 1$. Also a subset of $X$ is called [b]compact[/b] if the average of its elements is a good number.
Prove that at least $2^{n-3}$ subsets of $X$ are compact.

A positive integer $n$ is given. Consider all polynomials $P(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_0$, whose coefficients are nonnegative integers, not exceeding $100$. Call $P$ [i]reducible[/i] if it can be factored into two non-constant polynomials with nonnegative integer coeffiecients, and [i]irreducible[/i] otherwise. Prove that the number of [i]irreducible[/i] polynomials is at least twice as big as the number of [i]reducible[/i] polynomials.

There are $n$ coins aligned in a row. In each step, it is allowed to choose a coin with the tail up (but not one of the outermost markers), remove it and reverse the closest coin to the left and the closest coin to the right of it. Initially, all the coins have tails up. Prove that one can achieve the state with only two coins remaining if and only if $n-1$ is not divisible by $3$.

The seven dwarves are at work on day when they find a large pile of diamonds. They want to split the diamonds evenly among them, but find that they would need to take away one diamond to split into seven equal piles. They are still arguing about this when they get home, so Snow White sends them to bed without supper. In the middle of the night, Sneezy wakes up and decides that he should get the extra diamond. So he puts one diamond aside, splits the remaining ones in to seven equal piles, and takes his pile along with the extra diamond. Then, he runs off with the diamonds. His sneeze wakes up Grumpy, who, thinking along the same lines, removes one diamond, divides the remainder into seven equal piles, and runs off. Finally, Sleepy, for the first time in his life, wakes up before sunrise and performs the same operation. When the remaining four dwarves arise, they find that the remaining diamonds can be split into $5$ equal piles. Doc suggests that Snow White should get a share, so they have no problem splitting the remaining diamonds. Happy, Dopey, Bashful, Doc, and Snow White live happily ever after.
What’s the smallest possible number of diamonds that the dwarves could have started out with?
