Teeradet is a student in a class with $19$ people. He and his classmates form clubs, so that each club must have at least one student, and each student can be in more than one club. Suppose that any two clubs differ by at least one student, and all clubs Teeradet is in have an odd number of students. What is the maximum possible number of clubs?

Farmer John is grazing his cows at the origin. There is a river that runs east to west $50$ feet north of the origin. The barn is $100$ feet to the south and $80$ feet to the east of the origin. Farmer John leads his cows to the river to take a swim, then the cows leave the river from the same place they entered and Farmer John leads them to the barn. He does this using the shortest path possible, and the total distance he travels is $d$ feet. Find the value of $d$.

For $i = 1,2, \ldots, 1991$, we choose $n_i$ points and write number $i$ on them (each point has only written one number on it). A set of chords are drawn such that: (i) They are pairwise non-intersecting. (ii) The endpoints of each chord have distinct numbers. If for all possible assignments of numbers the operation can always be done, find the necessary and sufficient condition the numbers $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_{1991}$ must satisfy for this to be possible.

Let $C$ be a fixed circle, $u > 0$ be a fixed real and let $v_0 , v_1 , v_2 , \ldots$ be a sequence of positive real numbers. Two ants $A$ and $B$ walk around the perimeter of $C$ in opposite directions, starting from the same starting point. Ant $A$ has a constant speed $u$, while ant $B$ has an initial speed $v_0$. For each positive integer $n$, when the two ants collide for the $n$−th time, they change the directions in which they walk around the perimeter of $C$, with ant $A$ remaining at speed $u$ and ant $B$ stops walking at speed $v_{n-1}$ to walk at speed $v_n$. (a) If the sequence $\{v_n\}$ is strictly increasing, with $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} v_n = +\infty$, prove that there is exactly one point in $C$ that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times. (b) Prove that there is a sequence $\{v_n\}$ with $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} v_n = +\infty$, such that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times through all points on the circle $C$.

2023 Iran MO (3rd Round), 3

There's infinity of the following blocks on the table:$1*1 , 1*2 , 1*3 ,.., 1*n$. We have a $n*n$ table and Ali chooses some of these blocks so that the sum of their area is at least $n^2$. Then , Amir tries to cover the $n*n$ table so that none of blocks go out of the table and they don't overlap and he wanna maximize the covered area in the $n*n$ table with those blocks chosen by Ali. Let $k$ be the maximum coverable area independent of Ali's choice. Prove that: $$n^2 - \lceil \frac{n^2}{4} \rceil \leq k \leq n^2 - \lfloor \frac{n^2}{8} \rfloor$$ *Note : the blocks can be placed only vertically or horizontally.
