Let $d>1$ be integer and $0<r<\frac12$. Show that there exist finitely many (depending only on $d,r$) nonzero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that if the distance of a straight line in $\mathbb{R}^d$ from the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is at least $r$, then this line is orthogonal to one of these finitely many vectors.

Once upon a time, three boys visited a library for the first time. The first decided to visit the library every second day. The second decided to visit the library every third day. The third decided to visit the library every fourth day. The librarian noticed, that the library doesn't work on Wednesdays. The boys decided to visit library on Thursdays, if they have to do it on Wednesdays, but to restart the day counting in these cases. They strictly obeyed these rules. Some Monday later I met them all in that library. What day of week was when they visited a library for the first time?

A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if $\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and $\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Initially, a $2n \times 2n$ grid has $k$ black cells and the rest white cells. The following two operations are allowed : (1) If a $2\times 2$ square has exactly three black cells, the fourth is changed to a black cell; (2) If there are exactly two black cells in a $2 \times 2$ square, the black cells are changed to white and white to black. Find the smallest positive integer $k$ such that for any configuration of the $2n \times 2n$ grid with $k$ black cells, all cells can be black after a finite number of operations.

[b]p1.[/b] In this problem, a half deck of cards consists of $26$ cards, each labeled with an integer from $1$ to $13$. There are two cards labeled $1$, two labeled $2$, two labeled $3$, etc. A certain math class has $13$ students. Each day, the teacher thoroughly shuffles a half deck of cards and deals out two cards to each student. Each student then adds the two numbers on the cards received, and the resulting $13$ sums are multiplied together to form a product $P$. If $P$ is an even number, the class must do math homework that evening. Show that the class always must do math homework. [b]p2.[/b] Twenty-six people attended a math party: Archimedes, Bernoulli, Cauchy, ..., Yau, and Zeno. During the party, Archimedes shook hands with one person, Bernoulli shook hands with two people, Cauchy shook hands with three people, and similarly up through Yau, who shook hands with $25$ people. How many people did Zeno shake hands with? Justify that your answer is correct and that it is the only correct answer. [b]p3.[/b] Prove that there are no integers $m, n \ge 1$ such that $$\sqrt{m+\sqrt{m+\sqrt{m+...+\sqrt{m}}}}=n$$ where there are $2006$ square root signs.
