Suppose $n$ points are uniformly chosen at random on the circumference of the unit circle and that they are then connected with line segments to form an $n$-gon. What is the probability that the origin is contained in the interior of this $n$-gon? Give your answer in terms of $n$, and consider only $n \ge 3$.

There are $K$ boys placed around a circle. Each of them has an even number of sweets. At a command each boy gives half of his sweets to the boy on his right. If, after that, any boy has an odd number of sweets, someone outside the circle gives him one more sweet to make the number even. This procedure can be repeated indefinitely. Prove that there will be a time at which all boys will have the same number of sweets.

Alice, Bob, and Charlie are visiting Princeton and decide to go to the Princeton U-Store to buy some tiger plushies. They each buy at least one plushie at price $p$. A day later, the U-Store decides to give a discount on plushies and sell them at $p'$ with $0 < p' < p$. Alice, Bob, and Charlie go back to the U-Store and buy some more plushies with each buying at least one again. At the end of that day, Alice has $12$ plushies, Bob has $40$, and Charlie has $52$ but they all spent the same amount of money: $\$42$. How many plushies did Alice buy on the first day?

A crazy physicist discovered a new kind of particle wich he called an imon, after some of them mysteriously appeared in his lab. Some pairs of imons in the lab can be entangled, and each imon can participate in many entanglement relations. The physicist has found a way to perform the following two kinds of operations with these particles, one operation at a time.
(i) If some imon is entangled with an odd number of other imons in the lab, then the physicist can destroy it.
(ii) At any moment, he may double the whole family of imons in the lab by creating a copy $I'$ of each imon $I$. During this procedure, the two copies $I'$ and $J'$ become entangled if and only if the original imons $I$ and $J$ are entangled, and each copy $I'$ becomes entangled with its original imon $I$; no other entanglements occur or disappear at this moment.
Prove that the physicist may apply a sequence of such operations resulting in a family of imons, no two of which are entangled.

We have $2^m$ sheets of paper, with the number $1$ written on each of them. We perform the following operation. In every step we choose two distinct sheets; if the numbers on the two sheets are $a$ and $b$, then we erase these numbers and write the number $a + b$ on both sheets. Prove that after $m2^{m -1}$ steps, the sum of the numbers on all the sheets is at least $4^m$ .

[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667031p10595016][b]Problem 3.[/b][/url] There are $2018$ players sitting around a round table. At the beginning of the game we arbitrarily deal all the cards from a deck of $K$ cards to the players (some players may receive no cards). In each turn we choose a player who draws one card from each of the two neighbors. It is only allowed to choose a player whose each neighbor holds a nonzero number of cards. The game terminates when there is no such player. Determine the largest possible value of $K$ such that, no matter how we deal the cards and how we choose the players, the game always terminates after a finite number of turns.
