Let $\mathbb R$ be the set of real numbers. We denote by $\mathcal F$ the set of all functions $f\colon\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that $$f(x + f(y)) = f(x) + f(y)$$ for every $x,y\in\mathbb R$ Find all rational numbers $q$ such that for every function $f\in\mathcal F$, there exists some $z\in\mathbb R$ satisfying $f(z)=qz$.

Split a face of a regular tetrahedron into four congruent equilateral triangles. How many different ways can the seven triangles of the tetrahedron be colored using only the colors orange and black? (Two tetrahedra are considered to be colored the same way if you can rotate one so it looks like the other.)

For any integer $n\geq 3$, let $A\left(n\right)$ denote the maximal number of self-intersections a closed broken line $P_1P_2...P_nP_1$ can have; hereby, we assume that no three vertices of the broken line $P_1P_2...P_nP_1$ are collinear. Prove that [b](a)[/b] if n is odd, then $A\left(n\right)=\frac{n\left(n-3\right)}{2}$; [b](b)[/b] if n is even, then $A\left(n\right)=\frac{n\left(n-4\right)}{2}+1$. [i]Note.[/i] A [i]self-intersection[/i] of a broken line is a (non-ordered) pair of two distinct non-adjacent segments of the broken line which have a common point.

King Radford of Peiza is hosting a banquet in his palace. The King has an enormous circular table with $2021$ chairs around it. At The King's birthday celebration, he is sitting in his throne (one of the $2021$ chairs) and the other $2020$ chairs are filled with guests, with the shortest guest sitting to the King's left and the remaining guests seated in increasing order of height from there around the table. The King announces that everybody else must get up from their chairs, run around the table, and sit back down in some chair. After doing this, The King notices that the person seated to his left is different from the person who was previously seated to his left. Each other person at the table also notices that the person sitting to their left is different. Find a closed form expression for the number of ways the people could be sitting around the table at the end. You may use the notation $D_{n},$ the number of derangements of a set of size $n$, as part of your expression.

Consider a very simple model for an open self-replicative system such as a cell, or an economy. A system $\mathbf{S}$ is comprised of two kinds of mass: one kind is $\mathbf{S}_R$ that is capable of of taking raw material that comes from outside the system, and converting it into components of the system, and the other is $\mathbf{S}_O$ that takes care of other things. Think of $\mathbf{S}_R$ like factories and $\mathbf{S}_O$ like street sweepers. One part is creating new things and the other is doing maintenance on what already exists. The catch is, the material in $\mathbf{S}_R$ must not only make the rest of the system, but also itself! Suppose that the materials in $\mathbf{S}_R$ and the materials in $\mathbf{S}_O$ cost the same amount of energy for $\mathbf{S}_R$ to make per unit amount. Suppose the material in $\mathbf{S}_R$ can convert raw material from the environment into system mass at the rate $\gamma_R = 3 \mbox{ kg } \mathbf{S}/\mbox{hr}/\mbox{kg }\mathbf{S}_R$. If the system doubles in size once every 2 $\mbox{hrs}$, what fraction of the material in $\mathbf{S}$ is devoted to $\mathbf{S}_O$? $\textbf{Assumptions:}$ The fact that the system continuously doubles in size in a fixed time means that this system is in exponential growth, i.e. $\dot{\mathbf{S}} = \lambda \mathbf{S}$.
