[b]p1.[/b] A party is attended by ten people (men and women). Among them is Pat, who always lies to people of the opposite gender and tells the truth to people of the same gender.

[b]p2.[/b] Once upon a time in a land far, far away there lived $100$ knights, $99$ princesses, and $101$ dragons. Over time, knights beheaded dragons, dragons ate princesses, and princesses poisoned knights. But they always obeyed an ancient law that prohibits killing any creature who has killed an odd number of others. Eventually only one creature remained alive. Could it have been a knight? A dragon? A princess?
[b]p3.[/b] The numbers $1 \circ 2 \circ 3 \circ 4 \circ 5 \circ 6 \circ 7 \circ 8 \circ 9 \circ 10$ are written in a line. Alex and Vicky play a game, taking turns inserting either an addition or a multiplication symbol between adjacent numbers. The last player to place a symbol wins if the resulting expression is odd and loses if it is even. Alex moves first. Who wins?
(Remember that multiplication is performed before addition.)
[b]p4.[/b] A chess tournament had $8$ participants. Each participant played each other participant once. The winner of a game got $1$ point, the loser $0$ points, and in the case of a draw each got $1/2$ a point. Each participant scored a different number of points, and the person who got $2$nd prize scored the same number of points as the $5$th, $6$th, $7$th and $8$th place participants combined.
Can you determine the result of the game between the $3$rd place player and the $5$th place player?
[b]p5.[/b] One hundred gnomes sit in a circle. Each gnome gets a card with a number written on one side and a different number written on the other side. Prove that it is possible for all the gnomes to lay down their cards so that no two neighbors have the same numbers facing up.

[b]p6.[/b] A casino machine accepts tokens of $32$ different colors, one at a time. For each color, the player can choose between two fixed rewards. Each reward is up to $\$10$ cash, plus maybe another token. For example, a blue token always gives the player a choice of getting either $\$5$ plus a red token or $\$3$ plus a yellow token; a black token can always be exchanged either for $\$10$ (but no token) or for a brown token (but no cash). A player may keep playing as long as he has a token. Rob and Bob each have one white token. Rob watches Bob play and win $\$500$. Prove that Rob can win at least $\$1000$.

Consider an $n$-by-$n$ board of unit squares for some odd positive integer $n$. We say that a collection $C$ of identical dominoes is a [i]maximal grid-aligned configuration[/i] on the board if $C$ consists of $(n^2-1)/2$ dominoes where each domino covers exactly two neighboring squares and the dominoes don't overlap: $C$ then covers all but one square on the board. We are allowed to slide (but not rotate) a domino on the board to cover the uncovered square, resulting in a new maximal grid-aligned configuration with another square uncovered. Let $k(C)$ be the number of distinct maximal grid-aligned configurations obtainable from $C$ by repeatedly sliding dominoes. Find the maximum value of $k(C)$ as a function of $n$.

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Around a circular table, $p$ students sit. We give $p$ pieces of candy to those students in the following manner. The first candy we give to an arbitrary student. Then, going around clockwise, we skip two students and give the next student a piece of candy, then we skip 4 students and give another piece of candy to the next student... In general in the $k-$th turn we skip $2k$ students and give the next student a piece of candy. We do this until we don't give out all $p$ pieces of candy.
