Given a positive integer $n$, determine all functions $f$ from the first $n$ positive integers to the positive integers, satisfying the following two conditions: [b](1)[/b] $\sum_{k=1}^{n}{f(k)}=2n$; and [b](2)[/b] $\sum_{k\in K}{f(k)}=n$ for no subset $K$ of the first $n$ positive integers.

Let $ ABC $ be an acute triangle. Denote by $ D $ the foot of the perpendicular line drawn from the point $ A $ to the side $ BC $, by $M$ the midpoint of $ BC $, and by $ H $ the orthocenter of $ ABC $. Let $ E $ be the point of intersection of the circumcircle $ \Gamma $ of the triangle $ ABC $ and the half line $ MH $, and $ F $ be the point of intersection (other than $E$) of the line $ ED $ and the circle $ \Gamma $. Prove that $ \tfrac{BF}{CF} = \tfrac{AB}{AC} $ must hold. (Here we denote $XY$ the length of the line segment $XY$.)

Let $m$ and $n$ be fixed positive integers. Tsvety and Freyja play a game on an infinite grid of unit square cells. Tsvety has secretly written a real number inside of each cell so that the sum of the numbers within every rectangle of size either $m$ by $n$ or $n$ by $m$ is zero. Freyja wants to learn all of these numbers. One by one, Freyja asks Tsvety about some cell in the grid, and Tsvety truthfully reveals what number is written in it. Freyja wins if, at any point, Freyja can simultaneously deduce the number written in every cell of the entire infinite grid (If this never occurs, Freyja has lost the game and Tsvety wins). In terms of $m$ and $n$, find the smallest number of questions that Freyja must ask to win, or show that no finite number of questions suffice. [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i]

Let $n>100$ be a positive integer and originally the number $1$ is written on the blackboard. Petya and Vasya play the following game: every minute Petya represents the number of the board as a sum of two distinct positive fractions with coprime nominator and denominator and Vasya chooses which one to delete. Show that Petya can play in such a manner, that after $n$ moves, the denominator of the fraction left on the board is at most $2^n+50$, no matter how Vasya acts.

Republic has $n \geq 2$ cities, between some pairs of cities there are non-directed flight routes. From each city it is possible to get to any other city, and we will call the minimal number of flights required to do that the [i]distance[/i] between the cities. For every city consider the biggest distance to another city. It turned out that for every city this number is equal to $m$. Find all values $m$ can attain for given $n$

Let $$f(S)=\left(\sum_{i=1}^{k} a_{i}\right)^{n}$$ and $$g(S)=\sum_{1\leq i_{1}<\ldots<i_{n} \leq k} a_{i_{1}}\cdot\ldots\cdot a_{i_{n}}.$$ Determine $\sup_{S} \frac{g(S)}{f(S)}$.

Prove that it is possible for the following two conditions to hold at the same time: (i) The number of games played by each person is one of $t_1,t_2,\dots,t_n$. (ii) For every $i$ with $1\leq i\leq n$, there is someone who has played exactly $t_i$ games of chess.
