Twenty-six people gather in a house. Alicia is friends with only one person, Bruno is friends with two people, Carlos is a friend of three, Daniel is four, Elías is five, and so following each person is friend of a person more than the previous person, until reaching Yvonne, the person number twenty-five, who is a friend to everyone. How many people is Zoila a friend of, person number twenty-six? Clarification: If $A$ is a friend of $B$ then $B$ is a friend of $A$.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. The organising commitee of a tennis tournament is to schedule the matches for $2k$ players so that every two players play once, each day exactly one match is played, and each player arrives to the tournament site the day of his first match, and departs the day of his last match. For every day a player is present on the tournament, the committee has to pay $1$ coin to the hotel. The organisers want to design the schedule so as to minimise the total cost of all players' stays. Determine this minimum cost.

Consider a system of infinitely many spheres made of metal, with centers at points $(a, b, c) \in \mathbb Z^3$. We say that the system is stable if the temperature of each sphere equals the average temperature of the six closest spheres. Assuming that all spheres in a stable system have temperatures between $0^\circ C$ and $1^\circ C$, prove that all the spheres have the same temperature.

$T_1$ consists of a single branch from 0 to 1 in the complex plane. This branch then splits into two branches at the endpoint which each form a $135^\circ$ angle with the branch in $T_1$, and each branch has length $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. This process is repeated so that from each terminal branch in $T_n$, we form two more branches at angles $135^\circ$ with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ the length. Let $L_n$ be the collection of the $2^{n-1}$ endpoints of the tree $T_n$. If multiple terminal branches end at the same point, then that point is counted multiple times in $L_n$. Shown below is $T_k$ for $k=1, 2, 3$ with dots at the points in $L_k$. Find the sum of $\ell^2$ over all points $\ell$ in $L_{10}$.
