Let $q{}$ be an arbitrary polynomial with complex coefficients which is not identically $0$ and $\Gamma_q =\{z : |q(z)| = 1\}$ be its contour line. Prove that for every point $z_0\in\Gamma_q$ there is a polynomial $p{}$ for which $|p(z_0)| = 1$ and $|p(z)|<1$ for any $z\in\Gamma_q\setminus\{z_0\}.$

Ana and Beto play on a grid of $2022 \times 2022$. Ana colors the sides of some squares on the board red, so that no square has two red sides that share a vertex. Next, Bob must color a blue path that connects two of the four corners of the board, following the sides of the squares and not using any red segments. If Beto succeeds, he is the winner, otherwise Ana wins. Who has a winning strategy?

we named a $n*n$ table $selfish$ if we number the row and column with $0,1,2,3,...,n-1$.(from left to right an from up to down) for every {$ i,j\in{0,1,2,...,n-1}$} the number of cell $(i,j)$ is equal to the number of number $i$ in the row $j$. for example we have such table for $n=5$ 1 0 3 3 4 1 3 2 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 prove that for $n>5$ there is no $selfish$ table

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An in finite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.
