Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer. Consider $n$ points in the plane, no three lying on the same line, and a squirrel in each one of them. Alex wants to give hazelnuts to the squirrels, so he proceeds as follows: for each convex polygon with vertices among the n points, he identifies the squirrels which lie on its sides or in its interior and gives to each of these squirrels q hazelnuts, where q is their number. At the end of the process, a squirrel with the least number of hazelnuts is called unlucky. Determine the maximum number of hazelnuts an unlucky squirrel can get. ([i]proposed by Cristi Savesku[/i])

2023 Dutch Mathematical Olympiad, 5

A maths teacher has $10$ cards with the numbers $1$ to $10$ on them, one number per card. She places these cards in some order in a line next to each other on the table. The students come to the table, one at a time. The student whose turn it is goes once through the line of cards from left to right and removes every card she encounters that is (at that moment) the lowest card on the table. This continues till all cards are removed from the table. For example, if the line is in order $3$, $1$, $4$, $5$, $8,$ $6$, $9$, $10$, $2$, $7$ from left to right, the first student takes cards $1$ and $2$. Then the second student comes who, in our example, takes the cards $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, and $7$. The third student then takes the cards $8$, $9$, and $10$. Let $A$ be the number of sequences of cards that the teacher can choose so that exactly nine students get a turn to pick cards. Let $B$ be the number of sequences of cards that the teacher can choose so that exactly two students get a turn to pick cards. Prove that $A = B$.

The LHS Math Team is going to have a Secret Santa event! Nine members are going to participate, and each person must give exactly one gift to a specific recipient so that each person receives exactly one gift. But to make it less boring, no pairs of people can just swap gifts. The number of ways to assign who gives gifts to who in the Secret Santa Exchange with these constraints is $N$. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.
