In a $ 19\times 19$ board, a piece called [i]dragon[/i] moves as follows: It travels by four squares (either horizontally or vertically) and then it moves one square more in a direction perpendicular to its previous direction. It is known that, moving so, a dragon can reach every square of the board. The [i]draconian distance[/i] between two squares is defined as the least number of moves a dragon needs to move from one square to the other. Let $ C$ be a corner square, and $ V$ the square neighbor of $ C$ that has only a point in common with $ C$. Show that there exists a square $ X$ of the board, such that the draconian distance between $ C$ and $ X$ is greater than the draconian distance between $ C$ and $ V$.

Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ be $n$ positive integers that are not divisible by each other, i.e. for any $i \neq j$, $a_i$ is not divisible by $a_j$. Show that \[ a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n \ge 1.1n^2-2n. \] [i]Note:[/i] A proof of the inequality when $n$ is sufficient large will be awarded points depending on your results.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of sets that contains more than half of all subsets of an $n$-element set $X$. Prove that from $\mathcal{F}$ we can select $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil + 1$ sets that form a separating family on $X$, i.e., for any two distinct elements of $X$ there is a selected set containing exactly one of the two elements.

A utility company is building a network to send electricity to fifty houses, with addresses $0, 1, 2, \ldots , 49. $ The power center only connects directly to house $0$, so electricity reaches all other houses through a system of wires that connects specific pairs of houses. To save money, the company only lays wires between as few pairs of distinct houses as possible; additionally, two houses with addresses $a$ and $b$ can only have a wire between them if at least one of the following three conditions is met: [list] [*]$10$ divides both $a$ and $b.$ [*]$\lfloor \tfrac{a}{10} \rfloor \equiv \lfloor \tfrac{b}{10}\rfloor \pmod{5}.$ [*]$\lceil \tfrac{a}{10} \rceil\equiv \lceil \tfrac{b}{10}\rceil\pmod{5}.$ [/list] Letting $N$ be the number of distinct ways such a wire system can be configured so that every house receives electricity , find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000.$
