Let us go around the perimeter of the rhombus clockwise beginning at a vertex and paint these segments successively in red, white and blue. Prove that the sum of lengths of the blue segments equals that of the red ones. (V Proizvolov)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Tasty and Stacy are given a circular necklace with $3n$ sapphire beads and $3n$ turquoise beads, such that no three consecutive beads have the same color. They play a cooperative game where they alternate turns removing three consecutive beads, subject to the following conditions: [list] [*]Tasty must remove three consecutive beads which are turquoise, sapphire, and turquoise, in that order, on each of his turns. [*]Stacy must remove three consecutive beads which are sapphire, turquoise, and sapphire, in that order, on each of her turns. [/list] They win if all the beads are removed in $2n$ turns.

Let $n=3k$ be a positive integer (with $k\geq 2$). An equilateral triangle is divided in $n^2$ unit equilateral triangles with sides parallel to the initial, forming a grid. We will call "trapezoid" the trapezoid which is formed by three equilateral triangles (one base is equal to one and the other is equal to two). We colour the points of the grid with three colours (red, blue and green) such that each two neighboring points have different colour. Finally, the colour of a "trapezoid" will be the colour of the midpoint of its big base. Find the number of all "trapezoids" in the grid (not necessarily disjoint) and determine the number of red, blue and green "trapezoids".

You are given $25$ pieces of cheese of different weights. Is it always possible to cut one of the pieces into two parts and put the $26$ pieces in two packets so that $\bullet$ each packet contains $13$ pieces; $\bullet$ the total weights of the two packets are equal; $\bullet$ the two parts of the piece which has been cut are in different packets?
