Let $n_1, n_2$ be positive integers. Consider in a plane $E$ two disjoint sets of points $M_1$ and $M_2$ consisting of $2n_1$ and $2n_2$ points, respectively, and such that no three points of the union $M_1 \cup M_2$ are collinear. Prove that there exists a straightline $g$ with the following property: Each of the two half-planes determined by $g$ on $E$ ($g$ not being included in either) contains exactly half of the points of $M_1$ and exactly half of the points of $M_2.$

Elmo makes $ N$ sandwiches for a fundraiser. For each sandwich he uses $ B$ globs of peanut butter at 4 cents per glob and $ J$ blobs of jam at 5 cents per glob. The cost of the peanut butter and jam to make all the sandwiches is $ \$$2.53. Assume that $ B, J,$ and $ N$ are all positive integers with $ N > 1$. What is the cost of the jam Elmo uses to make the sandwiches?

A convex polygon $G$ is placed inside a convex polygon $ F$ so that their boundaries have no common points. A segment $s$ joining two points on the boundary of $F$ is called a support chord for $G$ if s contains a side or only a vertex of $G$. Prove that
(a) there exists a support chord for $G$ such that its midpoint lies on the boundary of $G$,
(b) there exist at least two such chords.

A crazy physicist has discovered a new particle called an emon. He starts with two emons in the plane, situated a distance $1$ from each other. He also has a crazy machine which can take any two emons and create a third one in the plane such that the three emons lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. After he has five total emons, let $P$ be the product of the $\binom 52 = 10$ distances between the $10$ pairs of emons. Find the greatest possible value of $P^2$.
