For each nonnegative integer $n$, we define a set $H_n$ of points in the plane as follows:
[list]
[*]$H_0$ is the unit square $\{(x,y) \mid 0 \le x, y \le 1\}$.
[*]For each $n \ge 1$, we construct $H_n$ from $H_{n-1}$ as follows. Note that $H_{n-1}$ is the union of finitely many square regions $R_1, \ldots, R_k$. For each $i$, divide $R_i$ into four congruent square quadrants. If $n$ is odd, then the upper-right and lower-left quadrants of each $R_i$ make up $H_n$. If $n$ is even, then the upper-left and lower-right quadrants of each $R_i$ make up $H_n$.
[/list]
The figures $H_0$, $H_1$, $H_2$, and $H_3$ are shown below.

pair[]sq(int n){pair[]a;
if(n == 0)a.push((.5,.5));
else for(pair k:sq(n-1)) { pair l=1/2^(n+1)*(1,(-1)^(1+(n%2)));a.push(k+l);a.push(k-l); }
return a;}

The numbers from $1$ to $2000^2$ were written on a board. Vasya choose $2000$ of them whose sum of them equal to two thousandth of the sum of all numbers. Proof that his friend, Petya, will be able to color each of the remaining numbers by one of other $1999$ colors so that the sum of numbers with each of total $2000$ colors are the same.

Consider $2009$ cards, each having one gold side and one black side, lying on parallel on a long table. Initially all cards show their gold sides. Two player, standing by the same long side of the table, play a game with alternating moves. Each move consists of choosing a block of $50$ consecutive cards, the leftmost of which is showing gold, and turning them all over, so those which showed gold now show black and vice versa. The last player who can make a legal move wins.
(a) Does the game necessarily end?
(b) Does there exist a winning strategy for the starting player?

Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. Consider $2n$ points around a circle. Each vertex has been tagged with one integer from $1$ to $n$, inclusive, and each one of these integers has been used exactly two times. Isabel divides the points into $n$ pairs, and draws the segments joining them, with the condition that the segments do not intersect. Then, she assigns to each segment the greatest integer between its endpoints.
a) Show that, no matter how the points have been tagged, Isabel can always choose the pairs in such a way that she uses exactly $\lceil n/2\rceil$ numbers to tag the segments.
b) Can the points be tagged in such a way that, no matter how Isabel divides the points into pairs, she always uses exactly $\lceil n/2\rceil$ numbers to tag the segments?
Note. For each real number $x$, $\lceil x\rceil$ denotes the least integer greater than or equal to $x$. For example, $\lceil 3.6\rceil=4$ and $\lceil 2\rceil=2$.
