Consider a permutation $(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5)$ of $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. We say the $5$-tuple $(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5)$ is dlawless if for all $1 \le i<j<k \le 5$, the sequence $(a_i,a_j,a_k)$ is [b]not [/b] an arithmetic progression (in that order). Find the number of flawless $5$-tuples.

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle. Let $A_1$ be the midpoint of the arc $BC$ which contain the point $A$. Let $A_2$ and $A_3$ be the foot(s) of the perpendicular(s) of the point $A_1$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively.

Circles $\Omega$ and $\omega$ are internally tangent at point $C$. Chord $AB$ of $\Omega$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $E$, where $E$ is the midpoint of $AB$. Another circle, $\omega_1$ is tangent to $\Omega, \omega,$ and $AB$ at $D,Z,$ and $F$ respectively. Rays $CD$ and $AB$ meet at $P$.

Two math students play a game with $k$ sticks. Alternating turns, each one chooses a number from the set $\{1,3,4\}$ and removes exactly that number of sticks from the pile (so if the pile only has $2$ sticks remaining the next player must take $1$). The winner is the player who takes the last stick. For $1\leq k\leq100$, determine the number of cases in which the first player can guarantee that he will win.

A bipartite graph on the sets $\{ x_1,\ldots, x_n \}$ and $\{ y_1,\ldots, y_n\}$ of vertices (that is the edges are of the form $x_iy_j$) is called tame if it has no $x_iy_jx_ky_l$ path ($i,j,k,l\in\{ 1,\ldots, n\}$) where $j<l$ and $i+j>k+l$. Calculate the infimum of those real numbers $\alpha$ for which there exists a constant $c=c(\alpha)>0$ such that for all tame graphs $e\le cn^{\alpha}$, where $e$ is the number of edges and $n$ is half of the number of vertices.
