Two mathematicians, Kelly and Jason, play a cooperative game. The computer selects some secret positive integer $ n < 60$ (both Kelly and Jason know that $ n < 60$, but that they don't know what the value of $ n$ is). The computer tells Kelly the unit digit of $ n$, and it tells Jason the number of divisors of $ n$. Then, Kelly and Jason have the following dialogue: Kelly: I don't know what $ n$ is, and I'm sure that you don't know either. However, I know that $ n$ is divisible by at least two different primes. Jason: Oh, then I know what the value of $ n$ is. Kelly: Now I also know what $ n$ is. Assuming that both Kelly and Jason speak truthfully and to the best of their knowledge, what are all the possible values of $ n$?

On the table are $300$ coins. Petya, Vasya and Tolya play the next game. They go in turn in the following order: Petya, Vasya, Tolya, Petya. Vasya, Tolya, etc. In one move, Petya can take $1, 2, 3$, or $4$ coins from the table, Vasya, $1$ or $2$ coins, and Tolya, too, $1$ or $2$ coins. Can Vasya and Tolya agree so that, as if Petya were playing, one of them two will take the last coin off the table?

2008 Tournament Of Towns, 4

Baron Munchausen claims that he got a map of a country that consists of five cities. Each two cities are connected by a direct road. Each road intersects no more than one another road (and no more than once). On the map, the roads are colored in yellow or red, and while circling any city (along its border) one can notice that the colors of crossed roads alternate. Can Baron's claim be true?

2023 Israel Olympic Revenge, P2

Triangle $\Delta ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\Omega$. The tangency point of $\Omega$ and the $A$-mixtilinear circle of $\Delta ABC$ is $T$. Points $E$, $F$ were chosen on $AC$, $AB$ respectively so that $EF\parallel BC$ and $(TEF)$ is tangent to $\Omega$. Let $\omega$ denote the $A$-excircle of $\Delta AEF$, which is tangent to sides $EF$, $AE$, $AF$ at $K$, $Y$, $Z$ respectively. Line $AT$ intersects $\omega$ at two points $P$, $Q$ with $P$ between $A$ and $Q$. Let $QK$ and $YZ$ intersect at $V$, and let the tangent to $\omega$ at $P$ and the tangent to $\Omega$ at $T$ intersect at $U$. Prove that $UV\parallel BC$.

Let $ n$ be an integer greater than $ 3.$ Points $ V_{1},V_{2},...,V_{n},$ with no three collinear, lie on a plane. Some of the segments $ V_{i}V_{j},$ with $ 1 \le i < j \le n,$ are constructed. Points $ V_{i}$ and $ V_{j}$ are [i]neighbors[/i] if $ V_{i}V_{j}$ is constructed. Initially, chess pieces $ C_{1},C_{2},...,C_{n}$ are placed at points $ V_{1},V_{2},...,V_{n}$ (not necessarily in that order) with exactly one piece at each point. In a move, one can choose some of the $ n$ chess pieces, and simultaneously relocate each of the chosen piece from its current position to one of its neighboring positions such that after the move, exactly one chess piece is at each point and no two chess pieces have exchanged their positions. A set of constructed segments is called [i]harmonic[/i] if for any initial positions of the chess pieces, each chess piece $ C_{i}(1 \le i \le n)$ is at the point $ V_{i}$ after a finite number of moves. Determine the minimum number of segments in a harmonic set.
