A sack contains blue and red marbles*. Consider the following game: marbles are taken out of the sack, one-by-one, until there is an equal number of blue and red marbles; once the number of blue marbles equals the number of red marbles, the game is over. In an instance of this game, it is observed that, at the end, $ 10$ marbles were taken out of the bag, and no $ 3$ consecutive marbles were all of the same color. Prove that, in said instance of the game, the fifth and sixth marbles were of different color. *The original problem involved "stones."

$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.

Let $c \geq 4$ be an even integer. In some football league, each team has a home uniform and anaway uniform. Every home uniform is coloured in two different colours, and every away uniformis coloured in one colour. A team’s away uniform cannot be coloured in one of the colours fromthe home uniform. There are at most $c$ distinct colours on all of the uniforms. If two teams havethe same two colours on their home uniforms, then they have different colours on their away uniforms. We say a pair of uniforms is clashing if some colour appears on both of them. Suppose that for every team $X$ in the league, there is no team $Y$ in the league such that the home uniform of $X$ is clashing with both uniforms of $Y$. Determine the maximum possible number of teams in the league.

Five friends compete in a dart-throwing contest. Each one has two darts to throw at the same circular target, and each individual's score is the sum of the scores in the target regions that are hit. The scores for the target regions are the whole numbers $1$ through $10$. Each throw hits the target in a region with a different value. The scores are: Alice $16$ points, Ben $4$ points, Cindy $7$ points, Dave $11$ points, and Ellen $17$ points. Who hits the region worth $6$ points? $\textbf{(A)}\ \text{Alice} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \text{Ben}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \text{Cindy}\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \text{Dave}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \text{Ellen}$
