Let $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ denote the set of integers considered modulo $n$ (hence $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ has $n$ elements). Find all positive integers $n$ for which there exists a bijective function $g: \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, such that the 101 functions
\[g(x), \quad g(x) + x, \quad g(x) + 2x, \quad \dots, \quad g(x) + 100x\]
are all bijections on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.

[b]E[/b]milia wishes to create a basic solution with 7% hydroxide (OH) ions. She has three solutions of different bases available: 10% rubidium hydroxide (Rb(OH)), 8% cesium hydroxide (Cs(OH)), and 5% francium hydroxide (Fr(OH)). (The Rb(OH) solution has both 10% Rb ions and 10% OH ions, and similar for the other solutions.) Since francium is highly radioactive, its concentration in the final solution should not exceed 2%. What is the highest possible concentration of rubidium in her solution?

A set of points is $\emph{convex}$ if the points are the vertices of a convex polygon (that is, a non-self-intersecting polygon with all angles less than or equal to $180^\circ$). Let $S$ be the set of points $(x,y)$ such that $x$ and $y$ are integers and $ 1 \le x, y \le 26 $. Find the number of ways to choose a convex subset of $S$ that contains exactly $98$ points.

[b]p1.[/b] Anne purchased yesterday at WalMart in Puerto Rico $6$ identical notebooks, $8$ identical pens and $7$ identical erasers. Anne remembers that each eraser costs $73$ cents. She did not buy anything else. Anne told her mother that she spent $12$ dollars and $76$ cents at Walmart. Can she be right? Note that in Puerto Rico there is no sales tax.
[b]p2.[/b] Two men ski one after the other first in a flat field and then uphill. In the field the men run with the same velocity $12$ kilometers/hour. Uphill their velocity drops to $8$ kilometers/hour. When both skiers enter the uphill trail segment the distance between them is $300$ meters less than the initial distance in the field. What was the initial distance between skiers? (There are $1000$ meters in 1 kilometer.)

[b]p4.[/b] If a polyleg has even number of legs he always tells truth. If he has an odd number of legs he always lies. Once a green polyleg told a dark-blue polyleg ”- I have $8$ legs. And you have only $6$ legs!” The offended dark-blue polyleg replied ”-It is me who has $8$ legs, and you have only $7$ legs!” A violet polyleg added ”-The dark-blue polyleg indeed has $8$ legs. But I have $9$ legs!” Then a stripped polyleg started: ”-None of you has $8$ legs. Only I have 8 legs!” Which polyleg has exactly $8$ legs?

There are $n(n\ge 8)$ airports, some of which have one-way direct routes between them. For any two airports $a$ and $b$, there is at most one one-way direct route from $a$ to $b$ (there may be both one-way direct routes from $a$ to $b$ and from $b$ to $a$). For any set $A$ composed of airports $(1\le | A| \le n-1)$, there are at least $4\cdot \min \{|A|,n-|A| \}$ one-way direct routes from the airport in $A$ to the airport not in $A$.
Prove that: For any airport $x$, we can start from $x$ and return to the airport by no more than $\sqrt{2n}$ one-way direct routes.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Suppose we are given $2^n+1$ distinct sets, each containing finitely many objects. Place each set into one of two categories, the red sets and the blue sets, so that there is at least one set in each category. We define the [i]symmetric difference[/i] of two sets as the set of objects belonging to exactly one of the two sets. Prove that there are at least $2^n$ different sets which can be obtained as the symmetric difference of a red set and a blue set.
