Let $ABCDEFG$ be a regular heptagon. We'll call the sides $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, $DE$, $EF$, $FG$ and $GA$ opposite to the vertices $E$, $F$, $G$, $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$ respectively. If $M$ is a point inside the heptagon, we'll say that the line through $M$ and a vertex of the heptagon intersects a side of it (without the vertices) at a $\textit{perfect}$ point, if this side is opposite the vertex. Prove that for every choice of $M$, the number of $\textit{perfect}$ points is always odd.

A chess king was placed on a square of an \(8 \times 8\) board and made $64$ moves so that it visited all squares and returned to the starting square. At every moment, the distance from the center of the square the king was on to the center of the board was calculated. A move is called $\emph{pleasant}$ if this distance becomes smaller after the move. Find the maximum possible number of pleasant moves. (The chess king moves to a square adjacent either by side or by corner.)

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle. Let $P$ be a point inside of it such that the square root of the distance of $P$ to one of the sides is equal to the sum of the square roots of the distances of $P$ to the other two sides. Find the geometric place of $P$.

[b]6.[/b] Let $T$ be a one-to-one mapping of the unit square $E$ of the plane into itself. Suppose that $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are measure-preserving (i.e. if $M \subseteq E$ is a measurable set, then $TM$ and $T^{-1}M$ are also measurable and $\mu (M)= \mu (TM)= \mu (T^{-1}M)$, where $\mu$ denotes the Lebesgue measure) and, furthermore, that if $Tx \in N$ for almost all points $x$ of a measurable set $N \subseteq E$, then either $n$ or $ E \setminus N$ is of measure 0. Prove that, for any measurable set $A \subseteq E$, with $\mu (A)>0$, the function $n(x)$ defined by $$n(x)=\begin{cases} 0, \mbox{if} \quad T^k x \notin A \quad (k=1, 2, \dots),\\ \min (k: T^k x \in A; k=1,2, \dots ) &\mbox{otherwise} \end{cases} $$ is measurable and $\int_{A}n(x) d\mu(x) =1$ [b](R. 18)[/b]

Carl chooses a [i]functional expression[/i]* $E$ which is a finite nonempty string formed from a set $x_1, x_2, \dots$ of variables and applications of a function $f$, together with addition, subtraction, multiplication (but not division), and fixed real constants. He then considers the equation $E = 0$, and lets $S$ denote the set of functions $f \colon \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ such that the equation holds for any choices of real numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots$. (For example, if Carl chooses the functional equation $$ f(2f(x_1)+x_2) - 2f(x_1)-x_2 = 0, $$ then $S$ consists of one function, the identity function. (a) Let $X$ denote the set of functions with domain $\mathbb R$ and image exactly $\mathbb Z$. Show that Carl can choose his functional equation such that $S$ is nonempty but $S \subseteq X$. (b) Can Carl choose his functional equation such that $|S|=1$ and $S \subseteq X$? *These can be defined formally in the following way: the set of functional expressions is the minimal one (by inclusion) such that (i) any fixed real constant is a functional expression, (ii) for any positive integer $i$, the variable $x_i$ is a functional expression, and (iii) if $V$ and $W$ are functional expressions, then so are $f(V)$, $V+W$, $V-W$, and $V \cdot W$.
