In a certain country there are $2023$ islands and $2022$ bridges, such that every bridge connects two different islands and any two islands have at most one bridge in common, and from any island, using bridges one can get to any other island. If in any three islands there is an island with bridges connected to each of the other two islands, call these three islands an "island group". We know that any two "island group"s have at least $1$ common island. What is the minimum number of islands with only $1$ bridge connected to it?

The set $\{(x, y) \in R^2| \lfloor x + y\rfloor \cdot \lceil x + y\rceil = (\lfloor x\rfloor + \lceil y \rceil ) (\lceil x \rceil + \lfloor y\rfloor), 0 \le x, y \le 100\}$ can be thought of as a collection of line segments in the plane.

2018 Stanford Mathematics Tournament, 2

Consider a game played on the integers in the closed interval $[1, n]$. The game begins with some tokens placed in $[1, n]$. At each turn, tokens are added or removed from$ [1, n]$ using the following rule: For each integer $k \in [1, n]$, if exactly one of $k - 1$ and $k + 1$ has a token, place a token at $k$ for the next turn, otherwise leave k blank for the next turn. We call a position [i]static [/i] if no changes to the interval occur after one turn. For instance, the trivial position with no tokens is static because no tokens are added or removed after a turn (because there are no tokens). Find all non-trivial static positions.

We say that a polygon $P$ is [i]inscribed[/i] in another polygon $Q$ when all vertices of $P$ belong to perimeter of $Q$. We also say in this case that $Q$ is [i]circumscribed[/i] to $P$. Given a triangle $T$, let $l$ be the maximum value of the side of a square inscribed in $T$ and $L$ be the minimum value of the side of a square circumscribed to $T$. Prove that for every triangle $T$ the inequality $L/l \ge 2$ holds and find all the triangles $T$ for which the equality occurs.
