Through points $ A $ and $ B $ two oblique lines $ m $ and $ n $ are drawn perpendicular to the line $ AB $. On line $ m $ the point $ C $ (different from $ A $) is taken, and on line $ n $ the point $ D $ (different from $ B $) is taken. Given the lengths of segments $ AB = d $ and $ CD = l $ and the angle $ \varphi $ formed by the oblique lines $ m $ and $ n $, calculate the radius of the surface of the sphere passing through the points $ A $, $ B $, $ C $, $ D $.

Alice, Bob, and Charlie are visiting Princeton and decide to go to the Princeton U-Store to buy some tiger plushies. They each buy at least one plushie at price $p$. A day later, the U-Store decides to give a discount on plushies and sell them at $p'$ with $0 < p' < p$. Alice, Bob, and Charlie go back to the U-Store and buy some more plushies with each buying at least one again. At the end of that day, Alice has $12$ plushies, Bob has $40$, and Charlie has $52$ but they all spent the same amount of money: $\$42$. How many plushies did Alice buy on the first day?

The first $9$ positive integers are placed into the squares of a $3\times 3$ chessboard. We are taking the smallest number in a column. Let $a$ be the largest of these three smallest number. Similarly, we are taking the largest number in a row. Let $b$ be the smallest of these three largest number. How many ways can we distribute the numbers into the chessboard such that $a=b=4$?

On a dance evening, each of the gentlemen present has sex with at least one of the ladies present danced and each of the ladies present danced with at least one of the gentlemen present. No gentleman has sex with every lady present and no lady has sex with every gentleman present danced. It must be proven that there were two such ladies and two such gentlemen among those present has that that evening each of the two ladies with exactly one of the two men, and each of the both men danced with exactly one of the two women. It is assumed that the dance evening did not take place without ladies and gentlemen, i.e. the crowd, which consists of all the ladies and gentlemen present, is not empty. [hide=original wording]An einem Tanzabend hat jeder der anwesenden Herren mit mindestens einer der anwesenden Damen getanzt und jede der anwesenden Damen mit mindestens einem der anwesenden Herren. Kein Herr hat mit jeder der anwesenden Damen und keine Dame mit jedem der anwesenden Herren getanzt. Es ist zu beweisen, dass es unter den Anwesenden zwei solche Damen und zwei solche Herren gegeben hat, dass an dem Abend jede der beiden Damen mit genau einem der beiden Herren, und jeder der beiden Herren mit genau einer der beiden Damen getanzt hat.

[b]Problem 1. [/b]In the cells of square table are written the numbers $1$, $0$ or $-1$ so that in every line there is exactly one $1$, amd exactly one $-1$. Each turn we change the places of two columns or two rows. Is it possible, from any such table, after finite number of turns to obtain its opposite table (two tables are opposite if the sum of the numbers written in any two corresponding squares is zero)?

In each square of a garden shaped like a $2022 \times 2022$ board, there is initially a tree of height $0$. A gardener and a lumberjack alternate turns playing the following game, with the gardener taking the first turn: [list] [*] The gardener chooses a square in the garden. Each tree on that square and all the surrounding squares (of which there are at most eight) then becomes one unit taller. [*] The lumberjack then chooses four different squares on the board. Each tree of positive height on those squares then becomes one unit shorter. [/list] We say that a tree is [i]majestic[/i] if its height is at least $10^6$. Determine the largest $K$ such that the gardener can ensure there are eventually $K$ majestic trees on the board, no matter how the lumberjack plays.
