In a football tournament, $n$ teams play one round ($n \vdots 2$). In each round should play $n / 2$ pairs of teams that have not yet played. Schedule of each round takes place before its holding. For which smallest natural $k$ such that the following situation is possible: after $k$ tours, making a schedule of $k + 1$ rounds already is not possible, i.e. these $n$ teams cannot be divided into $n / 2$ pairs, in each of which there are teams that have not played in the previous $k$ rounds. PS. The 3 vertical dots notation in the first row, I do not know what it means.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. The Georgian folk dance team consists of $2n$ dancers, with $n$ males and $n$ females. Each dancer, both male and female, is assigned a number from 1 to $n$. During one of their dances, all the dancers line up in a single line. Their wish is that, for every integer $k$ from 1 to $n$, there are exactly $k$ dancers positioned between the $k$th numbered male and the $k$th numbered female. Prove the following statements: a) If $n \equiv 1 \text{ or } 2 \mod{4}$, then the dancers cannot fulfill their wish. b) If $n \equiv 0 \text{ or } 3 \mod{4}$, then the dancers can fulfill their wish.

There are $\frac{k(k+1)}{2}+1$ points on the planes, some are connected by disjoint segments ( also point can not lies on segment, that connects two other points). It is true, that plane is divided to some parallelograms and one infinite region. What maximum number of segments can be drawn ? [i] A.Kupavski, A. Polyanski[/i]

In CMI, each person has atmost $3$ friends. A disease has infected exactly $2023$ peoplein CMI . Each day, a person gets infected if and only if atleast two of their friends were infected on the previous day. Once someone is infected, they can neither die nor be cured. Given that everyone in CMI eventually got infected, what is the maximum possible number of people in CMI?

Consider two spheres $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ and a line $\Delta$ not meeting them. Let $C_i$ and $r_i$ be the center and radius of $\Sigma_i$, and let $H_i$ and $d_i$ be the orthogonal projection of $C_i$ onto $\Delta$ and the distance of $C_i$ from $\Delta~(i=1,2)$.

suppose that $0\le p \le 1$ and we have a wooden square with side length $1$. in the first step we cut this square into $4$ smaller squares with side length $\frac{1}{2}$ and leave each square with probability $p$ or take it with probability $1-p$. in the next step we cut every remaining square from the previous step to $4$ smaller squares (as above) and take them with probability $1-p$. it's obvios that at the end what remains is a subset of the first square. [b]a)[/b] show that there exists a number $0<p_0<1$ such that for $p>p_0$ the probability that the remainig set is not empty is positive and for $p<p_0$ this probability is zero. [b]b)[/b] show that for every $p\neq 1$ with probability $1$, the remainig set has size zero. [b]c)[/b] for this statement that the right side of the square is connected to the left side of the square with a path, write anything that you can.

Claudia and Adela are betting to see which one of them will ask the boy they like for his telephone number. To decide they roll dice. If none of the dice are a multiple of 3, Claudia will do it. If exactly one die is a multiple of 3, Adela will do it. If 2 or more of the dice are a multiple of 3 neither one of them will do it. How many dice should be rolled so that the risk is the same for both Claudia and Adela?
