Alfonso teaches Francis how to draw a spiral in the plane: First draw half of a unit circle. Starting at one of the ends, draw half a circle with radius $1/2$. Repeat this process at the endpoint of each half circle, where each time the radius is half of the previous half-circle. Assuming you can’t stop Francis from drawing the entire spiral, compute the total length of the spiral.

Let $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_m$ be vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$, such that each has a strictly positive first coordinate. Consider the following process. Start with the zero vector $w = (0, 0, \ldots, 0) \in \mathbb{R}^n$. Every round, choose an $i$ such that $1 \le i \le m$ and $w \cdot v_i \le 0$, and then replace $w$ with $w + v_i$. Show that there exists a constant $C$ such that regardless of your choice of $i$ at each step, the process is guaranteed to terminate in (at most) $C$ rounds. The constant $C$ may depend on the vectors $v_1, \ldots, v_m$.

2020 Polish Junior MO First Round, 5.

In some tournament there were $8$ players. Every two players played exactly one match, each of them finished with the win of one of the players or with a draw. Winner of the match got $2$ points, his opponent $0$ points and in the case of draw every player got $1$ point. When all matches had finished it turned out that every player had the same number of points. Determine the minimal total numbers of draws.
