The figure shows a glass prism which is partially filled with liquid. The surface of the prism consists of two isosceles right triangles, two squares with side length $10$ cm and a rectangle. The prism can lie in three different ways. If the prism lies as shown in figure $1$, the height of the liquid is $5$ cm.

Let $n > 1$ be a positive integer. A 2-dimensional grid, infinite in all directions, is given. Each 1 by 1 square in a given $n$ by $n$ square has a counter on it. A [i]move[/i] consists of taking $n$ adjacent counters in a row or column and sliding them each by one space along that row or column. A [i]returning sequence[/i] is a finite sequence of moves such that all counters again fill the original $n$ by $n$ square at the end of the sequence. [list] [*] Assume that all counters are distinguishable except two, which are indistinguishable from each other. Prove that any distinguishable arrangement of counters in the $n$ by $n$ square can be reached by a returning sequence. [*] Assume all counters are distinguishable. Prove that there is no returning sequence that switches two counters and returns the rest to their original positions.[/list] [i]Mitchell Lee and Benjamin Gunby.[/i]

A function $f: \N\rightarrow\N$ is circular if for every $p\in\N$ there exists $n\in\N,\ n\leq{p}$ such that $f^n(p)=p$ ($f$ composed with itself $n$ times) The function $f$ has repulsion degree $k>0$ if for every $p\in\N$ $f^i(p)\neq{p}$ for every $i=1,2,\dots,\lfloor{kp}\rfloor$. Determine the maximum repulsion degree can have a circular function. [b]Note:[/b] Here $\lfloor{x}\rfloor$ is the integer part of $x$.

Every of $n$ guests invited to a dinner has got an invitation denoted by a number from $1$ to $n$. The guests will be sitting around a round table with $n$ seats. The waiter has decided to derve them according to the following rule. At first, he selects one guest and serves him/her at any place. Thereafter, he selects the guests one by one: having chosen a guest, he goes around the table for the number of seats equal to the preceeding guest's invitation number (starting from the seat of the preceeding guest), and serves the guest there. Find all $n$ for which he can select the guests in such an order to serve all the guests.

2012 Tournament of Towns, 6

A bank has one million clients, one of whom is Inspector Gadget. Each client has a unique PIN number consisting of six digits. Dr. Claw has a list of all the clients. He is able to break into the account of any client, choose any $n$ digits of the PIN number and copy them. The n digits he copies from different clients need not be in the same $n$ positions. He can break into the account of each client, but only once. What is the smallest value of $n$ which allows Dr.Claw to determine the complete PIN number of Inspector Gadget?
