A number of $N$ children are at a party and they sit in a circle to play a game of Pass and Parcel. Because the host has no other form of entertainment, the parcel has infinitely many layers. On turn $i$, starting with $i=1$, the following two things happen in order:
[b]$(1)$[/b] The parcel is passed $i^2$ positions clockwise; and
[b]$(2)$[/b] The child currently holding the parcel unwraps a layer and claims the prize inside.
For what values of $N$ will every chidren receive a prize?

On the map, the Flower City has the form of a right triangle $ABC$ (see Fig.1). The length of each leg is $6$ meters. All the streets of the city run parallel to one of the legs at a distance of $1$ meter from each other. A river flows along the hypotenuse. From their houses that are located at points $V$ and $S$, at the same time get the Cog and Tab. Each short moves to rivers according to the following rule: tosses his coin, and if the [b]heads[/b] falls, he passes $1$ meter parallel to the leg $AB$ to the north (up), and if tails, then passes $1$ meter parallel to the leg $AC$ on east (right). If the Cog and the Tab meet at the same point, then they move together, tossing a coin.
a) Which is more likely: Cog and Tab will meet on the way to the river, or will they come to different points on the shore?
b) At what point near the river should the Stranger sit, if he wants the most did Gvintik and Shpuntik come to him together?

На мапi Квiткове мiсто має вигляд прямокутного трикутника ABC (див. рисунок 1). Довжина кожного катету – 6 метрiв. Всi вулицi мiста проходять паралельно одному за катетiв на вiдстанi 1 метра одна вiд одної. Вздовж гiпотенузи тече рiка. Зi своїх будиночкiв, що знаходяться в точках V та S, одночасно виходять Гвинтик та Шпунтик. Кожен коротулька рухається до рiчки за таким правилом: пiдкидає свою монетку, та якщо випадає Орел, вiн проходить 1 метр паралельно катету AB на пiвнiч (вгору), а якщо Решка, то проходить 1 метр паралельно катету AC на схiд (вправо). Якщо Гвинтик та Шпунтик зустрiчаються в однiй точцi, то далi вони рушають разом, пiдкидаючи монетку Гвинтика.
1. Що бiльш ймовiрно: Гвинтик та Шпунтик зустрiнуться на шляху до рiки, або вони прийдуть у рiзнi точки берега?
2. В якiй точцi бiля рiки має сидiти Незнайка, якщо вiн хоче, щоб найбiльш ймовiрно до нього прийшли Гвинтик та Шпунтик разом?[/hide]

For a sequence $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ of real numbers, we define its $\textit{price}$ as \[\max_{1\le i\le n}|x_1+\cdots +x_i|.\] Given $n$ real numbers, Dave and George want to arrange them into a sequence with a low price. Diligent Dave checks all possible ways and finds the minimum possible price $D$. Greedy George, on the other hand, chooses $x_1$ such that $|x_1 |$ is as small as possible; among the remaining numbers, he chooses $x_2$ such that $|x_1 + x_2 |$ is as small as possible, and so on. Thus, in the $i$-th step he chooses $x_i$ among the remaining numbers so as to minimise the value of $|x_1 + x_2 + \cdots x_i |$. In each step, if several numbers provide the same value, George chooses one at random. Finally he gets a sequence with price $G$.
Find the least possible constant $c$ such that for every positive integer $n$, for every collection of $n$ real numbers, and for every possible sequence that George might obtain, the resulting values satisfy the inequality $G\le cD$.

Bubble Boy and Bubble Girl live in bubbles of unit radii centered at $(20, 13)$ and $(0, 10)$ respectively. Because Bubble Boy loves Bubble Girl, he wants to reach her as quickly as possible, but he needs to bring a gift; luckily, there are plenty of gifts along the $x$-axis. Assuming that Bubble Girl remains stationary, find the length of the shortest path Bubble Boy can take to visit the $x$-axis and then reach Bubble Girl (the bubble is a solid boundary, and anything the bubble can touch, Bubble Boy can touch too)
