A chess king was placed on a square of an \(8 \times 8\) board and made $64$ moves so that it visited all squares and returned to the starting square. At every moment, the distance from the center of the square the king was on to the center of the board was calculated. A move is called $\emph{pleasant}$ if this distance becomes smaller after the move. Find the maximum possible number of pleasant moves. (The chess king moves to a square adjacent either by side or by corner.)

[b]6.[/b] Let $T$ be a one-to-one mapping of the unit square $E$ of the plane into itself. Suppose that $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are measure-preserving (i.e. if $M \subseteq E$ is a measurable set, then $TM$ and $T^{-1}M$ are also measurable and $\mu (M)= \mu (TM)= \mu (T^{-1}M)$, where $\mu$ denotes the Lebesgue measure) and, furthermore, that if $Tx \in N$ for almost all points $x$ of a measurable set $N \subseteq E$, then either $n$ or $ E \setminus N$ is of measure 0.
Prove that, for any measurable set $A \subseteq E$, with $\mu (A)>0$, the function $n(x)$ defined by
$$n(x)=\begin{cases}
0, \mbox{if} \quad T^k x \notin A \quad (k=1, 2, \dots),\\
\min (k: T^k x \in A; k=1,2, \dots ) &\mbox{otherwise}
\end{cases}
$$
is measurable and
$\int_{A}n(x) d\mu(x) =1$

Carl chooses a [i]functional expression[/i]* $E$ which is a finite nonempty string formed from a set $x_1, x_2, \dots$ of variables and applications of a function $f$, together with addition, subtraction, multiplication (but not division), and fixed real constants. He then considers the equation $E = 0$, and lets $S$ denote the set of functions $f \colon \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ such that the equation holds for any choices of real numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots$. (For example, if Carl chooses the functional equation
$$ f(2f(x_1)+x_2) - 2f(x_1)-x_2 = 0, $$
then $S$ consists of one function, the identity function.
(a) Let $X$ denote the set of functions with domain $\mathbb R$ and image exactly $\mathbb Z$. Show that Carl can choose his functional equation such that $S$ is nonempty but $S \subseteq X$.
(b) Can Carl choose his functional equation such that $|S|=1$ and $S \subseteq X$?
*These can be defined formally in the following way: the set of functional expressions is the minimal one (by inclusion) such that (i) any fixed real constant is a functional expression, (ii) for any positive integer $i$, the variable $x_i$ is a functional expression, and (iii) if $V$ and $W$ are functional expressions, then so are $f(V)$, $V+W$, $V-W$, and $V \cdot W$.

A storage depot is a pyramid with height $30$ and a square base with side length $40$. Determine how many cubical $3\times 3\times 3$ boxes can be stored in this depot if the boxes are always packed so that each of their edges is parallel to either an edge of the base or the altitude of the pyramid.

On the blackboard were six figures: a circle, a triangle, a square, a trapezoid, a pentagon and a hexagon, painted in six colors: blue, white, red, yellow, green and brown. Each figure had only one color and all the figures were of different colors. The next day he wondered what color each figure was.
Paul replied: “The circle was red, the triangle was blue, the square was white, the trapezoid was green, the pentagon was brown, and the hexagon was yellow.
Sofía answered: “The circle was yellow, the triangle was green, the square was red, the trapezoid was blue, the pentagon was brown, and the hexagon was white.”
Pablo was wrong three times and Sofia twice, and it is known that the pentagon was brown.
Determine if it is possible to know with certainty what the color of each of the figures was.

A biologist found a pond with frogs. When classifying them by their mass, he noticed the following:
[i]The $50$ lightest frogs represented $30\%$ of the total mass of all the frogs in the pond, while the $44$ heaviest frogs represented $27\%$ of the total mass.
[/i]As fate would have it, the frogs escaped and the biologist only has the above information. How many frogs were in the pond?
