Emperor Zorg wishes to found a colony on a new planet. Each of the $n$ cities that he will establish there will have to speak exactly one of the Empire's $2020$ official languages. Some towns in the colony will be connected by a direct air link, each link can be taken in both directions. The emperor fixed the cost of the ticket for each connection to $1$ galactic credit. He wishes that, given any two cities speaking the same language, it is always possible to travel from one to the other via these air links, and that the cheapest trip between these two cities costs exactly $2020$ galactic credits. For what values of $n$ can Emperor Zorg fulfill his dream?

Numbers $\frac{49}{1}, \frac{49}{2}, ... , \frac{49}{97}$ are writen on a blackboard. Each time, we can replace two numbers (like $a, b$) with $2ab-a-b+1$. After $96$ times doing that prenominate action, one number will be left on the board. Find all the possible values fot that number.

Given an integer \( n \geq 1 \), Jo-Ané alternately writes crosses (\( \mathcal{X} \)) and circles (\( \mathcal{O}\)) in the cells of a square grid with \( 2n + 1 \) rows and \( 2n + 1 \) columns: she first writes a cross in a cell, then a circle in a second cell, then a cross in a third cell, and so on. When the table is completely filled, her score is calculated as the sum \( \mathcal{X}+ \mathcal{O} \), where \( \mathcal{X} \) is the number of rows containing more crosses than circles and \( \mathcal{O} \) is the number of columns containing more circles than crosses.
Determine, in terms of \( n \), the highest possible score that Jo-Ané can obtain..

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. He knows that the sides of the carpet are integral numbers of feet and that his two storerooms have the same (unknown) length, but widths of 38 feet and 50 feet respectively. What are the carpet dimensions?

For an integer $n \geq 5,$ two players play the following game on a regular $n$-gon. Initially, three consecutive vertices are chosen, and one counter is placed on each. A move consists of one player sliding one counter along any number of edges to another vertex of the $n$-gon without jumping over another counter. A move is legal if the area of the triangle formed by the counters is strictly greater after the move than before. The players take turns to make legal moves, and if a player cannot make a legal move, that player loses. For which values of $n$ does the player making the first move have a winning strategy?
