a) A castle is equilateral triangle with the side of $100$ metres. It is divided onto $100$ triangle rooms. Each wall between the rooms is $10$ metres long and contain one door. You are inside and are allowed to pass through every door not more than once. Prove that you can visit not more than $91$ room (not exiting the castle). b) Every side of the triangle is divided onto $k$ parts by the lines parallel to the sides. And the triangle is divided onto $k^2$ small triangles. Let us call the "chain" such a sequence of triangles, that every triangle in it is included only once, and the consecutive triangles have the common side. What is the greatest possible number of the triangles in the chain?

We will assume that the sides of a square are reflective and we will designate them with the names of the four cardinal points. Marking a point on the side $N$ , determine in which direction a ray of light should exit (into the interior of the square) so that it returns to it after having undergone $n$ reflections on the side $E$ , another $n$ on the side $W$ , $m$ on the $S$ and $m - 1$ on the $N$, where $n$ and $m$ are known natural numbers. What happens if m and $n$ are not prime to each other? Calculate the length of the light ray considered as a function of $m$ and $n$, and of the length of the side of the square.

An infinite set $S$ of positive numbers is called thick, if in every interval of the form $\left [1/(n+1),1/n\right]$ (where $n$ is an arbitrary positive integer) there is a number which is the difference of two elements from $S$. Does there exist a thick set such that the sum of its elements is finite? Proposed by [i]Gábor Szűcs[/i], Szikszó

2012 Tournament of Towns, 7

There are $1 000 000$ soldiers in a line. The sergeant splits the line into $100$ segments (the length of different segments may be different) and permutes the segments (not changing the order of soldiers in each segment) forming a new line. The sergeant repeats this procedure several times (splits the new line in segments of the same lengths and permutes them in exactly the same way as the first time). Every soldier originally from the first segment recorded the number of performed procedures that took him to return to the first segment for the first time. Prove that at most $100$ of these numbers are different.

A regular $n{}$-gon and a regular $m$-gon with distinct vertices are inscribed in the same circle. The vertices of these polygons divide the circle into $n+m$ arcs. Is it always possible to inscribe a regular $(n+m)$-gon in the same circle so that exactly one of its vertices is on each of these arcs?
