A rabbit is placed on a $2n\times 2n$ chessboard. Every time the rabbit moves to one of the adjacent squares. (Adjacent means sharing an edge). It is known that the rabbit went through every square and came back to the place where the rabbit started, and the path of the rabbit form a polygon $\mathcal{P}$. Find the maximum possible number of the vertices of $\mathcal{P}$. For example the answer for the case $n=2$ would be $12$.

A model car is tested on some closed circuit $600$ meters long, consisting of flat stretches, uphill and downhill. All uphill and downhill have the same slope. The test highlights the following facts: [list] (a) The velocity of the car depends only on the fact that the car is driving along a stretch of uphill, plane or downhill; calling these three velocities $v_s, v_p$ and $v_d$ respectively, we have $v_s <v_p <v_d$; (b) $v_s,v_p$ and $v_d$, expressed in meter per second, are integers. (c) Whatever may be the structure of the circuit, the time taken to complete the circuit is always $50$ seconds. [/list] Find all possible values of $v_s, v_p$ and $v_d$.

Two squids are forced to participate in a game. Before it begins, they will be informed of all the rules, and can discuss their strategies freely. Then, they will be locked in separate rooms, and be given distinct positive integers no larger than $2023$ as their IDs respectively. The two squids then take turns alternatively; on one's turn, the squid chooses one of the following: 1. announce a positive integer, which will be heard by the other squid; 2. declare which squid has the larger ID. If correct, they win and are released together; otherwise, they lose and are fried together. Find the smallest positive integer $N$ so that, no matter what IDs the squids have been given, they can always win in a finite number of turns, and the sum of the numbers announced during the game is no larger than $N$.

In a planar coordinate system we got four pieces on positions with coordinates. You can make a move according to the following rule: You can move a piece to a new position if there is one of the other pieces in the middle of the old and new position. Initially the four pieces have positions $ \{(0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,1)\}$. Given a finite number of moves can you yield the configuration $ \{(0,0), (1,1), (3,0), (2, \minus{} 1)\}$ ?
