Let $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb R$ be a twice continuously differentiable increasing function. Define the sequences given by $L_n=\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}f\left(\frac kn\right)$ and $U_n=\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^nf\left(\frac kn\right)$, $n\ge1$. 1. The interval $[L_n,U_n]$ is divided into three equal segments. Prove that, for large enough $n$, the number $I=\int^1_0f(x)\text dx$ belongs to the middle one of these three segments.

A rectangular $M \times N$ board is divided into $1 \times $ cells. There are also many domino pieces of size $1 \times 2$. These pieces are placed on a board so that each piece occupies two cells. The board is not entirely covered, but it is impossible to move the domino pieces (the board has a frame, so that the pieces cannot stick out of it). Prove that the number of uncovered cells is
(a) less than $\frac14 MN$,
(b) less than $\frac15 MN$.

The village chatterboxes are exchanging their gossip by phone every day so that any two of them talk to each other exactly once. A certain day, every chatterbox called up at least one of the other chatterboxes. Show that there exist three chatterboxes such that the first called up the second, the second called up the third, and the third called up the first.

Eddie assigns each of Jason, Jerry, and Jonathan a different positive integer. The three are each perfectly logical and currently know that their numbers are distinct but don't know each other's numbers. Additionally, if one of them knows the answer to the question they will say so immediately. They have the following conversation listed below in chronological order:
[list]
[*] Eddie: Does anyone know who has the smallest number?
[*] Jason, Jerry, Jonathan (at the same time): I'm not sure.
[*] Jonathan: Now I know who has the smallest number.
[*] Eddie: Does anyone know who has the largest number?
[*] Jason, Jonathan, Jerry (at the same time): I'm not sure.
[*] Jerry: Now I know who has the largest number.
[*] Jason: Wow, our numbers are in an geometric sequence!

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer. Oriol has $n$ cards, each of them with a $0$ written on one side and $1$ on the other. We place these cards in line, some face up and some face down (possibly all on the same side). We begin the following process consisting of $n$ steps:
1) At the first step, Oriol flips the first card
2) At the second step, Oriol flips the first card and second card
.
.
.
n) At the last step Oriol flips all the cards
Let $s_0, s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n$ be the sum of the numbers seen in the cards at the beggining, after the first step, after the second step, $\dots$ after the last step, respectively.
a) Find the greatest integer $k$ such that, no matter the initial card configuration, there exists at least $k$ distinct numbers between $s_0, s_1, \dots, s_n$.
b) Find all positive integers $m$ such that, for each initial card configuration, there exists an index $r$ such that $s_r = m$.
