In a party, each person knew exactly $ 22$ other persons. For each two persons $ X$ and $ Y$, if $ X$ and $ Y$ knew each other, there is no other person who knew both of them, and if $ X$ and $ Y$ did not know each other, there are exactly $ 6$ persons who knew both of them. Assume that $ X$ knew $ Y$ iff $ Y$ knew $ X$. How many people did attend the party? [i]Yudi Satria, Jakarta[/i]

Two rectangles on a plane intersect at eight points. Consider every other intersection point, they are connected with line segments, these segments form a quadrilateral. Prove that the area of this quadrilateral does not vary under translations of one of the rectangles.

The convex pentagon $ABCDE$ was drawn in the plane. $A_1$ was symmetric to $A$ with respect to $B$. $B_1$ was symmetric to $B$ with respect to $C$. $C_1$ was symmetric to $C$ with respect to $D$. $D_1$ was symmetric to $D$ with respect to $E$. $E_1$ was symmetric to $E$ with respect to $A$.

Al has three bags, each with three marbles each. Bag $1$ has two blue marbles and one red marble, Bag $2$ has one blue marble and two red marbles, and Bag $3$ has three red marbles. He chooses two distinct bags at random, then one marble at random from each of the chosen bags. What is the probability that he chooses two blue marbles?
