Monty wants to play a game with you. He shows you five boxes, one of which contains a prize and four of which contain nothing. He allows you to choose one box but not to open it. He then opens one of the other four boxes that he knows to contain nothing. Then, he makes you switch and choose a different, unopened box. However, Monty sketchily reveals the contents of another (empty) box, selected uniformly at random from the two or three closed boxes (that you do not currently have chosen) that he knows to contain no prize. He then offers you the chance to switch again. Assuming you seek to maximize your return, determine the probability you get a prize.

Objects $A$ and $B$ move simultaneously in the coordinate plane via a sequence of steps, each of length one. Object $A$ starts at $(0,0)$ and each of its steps is either right or up, both equally likely. Object $B$ starts at $(5,7)$ and each of its steps is either left or down, both equally likely. Which of the following is closest to the probability that the objects meet?

$ A$ is a set of points on the plane, $ L$ is a line on the same plane. If $ L$ passes through one of the points in $ A$, then we call that $ L$ passes through $ A$.
(1) Prove that we can divide all the rational points into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements. If for any line on the plane, there are two rational points on it, then it passes through all the $ 100$ sets.
(2) Find the biggest integer $ r$, so that if we divide all the rational points on the plane into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements with any method, then there is at least one line that passes through $ r$ sets of the $ 100$ point sets.

Initially, Igna distributes $1000$ balls into $30$ boxes. Then, Igna and Mica alternate turns, starting with Igna. Each player, on their turn, chooses a box and removes one ball. When a player removes the last ball from a box, they earn a coin. Find the maximum integer $k$ such that, regardless of how Mica plays, Igna can earn at least $k$ coins.

For any positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the number of ways in which $n$ can be expressed as the sum of three different positive integers, without regard to order. Thus, since $10 = 7+2+1 = 6+3+1 = 5+4+1 = 5+3+2$, we have $F(10) = 4$. Show that $F(n)$ is even if $n \equiv 2$ or $4 \pmod 6$, but odd if $n$ is divisible by $6$.
