For which positive integers $n \ge 3$ is it possible to mark $n$ points of a plane in such a way that, starting from one marked point and moving on each step to the marked point which is the second closest to the current point, one can walk through all the marked points and return to the initial one? For each point, the second closest marked point must be uniquely determined.

Guess I should stop proposing problems at 2:00 AM, as this can lead to ones like this here: Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be three positive reals. Prove the inequality $\frac{a^2+2b^2}{b+c}+\frac{b^2+2c^2}{c+a}+\frac{c^2+2a^2}{a+b}\geq\frac32\left(a+b+c\right)$.

The people in an infinitely long line are numbered $1,2,3,\dots$. Then, each person says either ``Karl" or ``Lark" independently and at random. Let $S$ be the set of all positive integers $i$ such that people $i$, $i+1$, and $i+2$ all say ``Karl," and define $X = \sum_{i \in S} 2^{-i}$. Then the expected value of $X^2$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $\gcd(m,n)=1$. Compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Ankit Bisain[/i]

Two circles in the plane do not intersect and do not lie inside each other. We choose diameters $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ of these circles such that the segments $A_1A_2$ and $B_1B_2'$ intersect.
