Integers $1 \le n \le 200$ are written on a blackboard just one by one. We surrounded just $100$ integers with circle. We call a square of the sum of surrounded integers minus the sum of not surrounded integers $score$ of this situation. Calculate the average score in all ways.

In any finite grid of squares, some shaded and some not, for each unshaded square, record the number of shaded squares horizontally or vertically adjacent to it; this grid's [i]score[/i] is the sum of all numbers recorded this way. Deyuan shades each square in a blank $n\times n$ grid with probability $k$; he notices that the expected value of the score of the resulting grid is equal to $k$, too! Given that $k > 0.9999$, find the minimum possible value of $n$.

Kristoff is planning to transport a number of indivisible ice blocks with positive integer weights from the north mountain to Arendelle. He knows that when he reaches Arendelle, Princess Anna and Queen Elsa will name an ordered pair $(p,q)$ of nonnegative integers satisfying $p + q \le 2016$. Kristoff must then give Princess Anna \emph{exactly} $p$ kilograms of ice. Afterward, he must give Queen Elsa $\emph{exactly}$ $q$ kilograms of ice.
What is the minimum number of blocks of ice Kristoff must carry to guarantee that he can always meet Anna and Elsa's demands, regardless of which $p$ and $q$ are chosen?

There are There are $64$ towns in a country, and some pairs of towns are connected by roads but we do not know these pairs. We may choose any pair of towns and find out whether they are connected by a road. Our aim is to determine whether it is possible to travel between any two towns using roads. Prove that there is no algorithm which would enable us to do this in less than $2016$ questions. but we do not know these pairs.

In a classroom there are $m$ students. During the month of July each of them visited the library at least once but none of them visited the library twice in the same day. It turned out that during the month of July each student visited the library a different number of times, furthermore for any two students $A$ and $B$ there was a day in which $A$ visited the library and $B$ did not and there was also a day when $B$ visited the library and $A$ did not do so.
Determine the largest possible value of $m$.
