A house has an even number of lamps distributed among its rooms in such a way that there are at least three lamps in every room. Each lamp shares a switch with exactly one other lamp, not necessarily from the same room. Each change in the switch shared by two lamps changes their states simultaneously. Prove that for every initial state of the lamps there exists a sequence of changes in some of the switches at the end of which each room contains lamps which are on as well as lamps which are off.

The diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at $P$. Let $K$ and $L$ be points on the segments $CP$ and $DP$ such that the circumcircle of $PKL$ is tangent to $CD$ at $M$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on the segments $AP$ and $BP$ such that $AX=CK$ and $BY=DL$. Points $Z$ and $W$ are the midpoints of $PK$ and $PL$. Prove that if $C,D,X$ and $Y$ are concyclic, then $\angle MZP = \angle MWP$.

[b]p1[/b]. Consider the following four statements referring to themselves:
1. At least one of these statements is true.
2. At least two of these statements are false.
3. At least three of these statements are true.
4. All four of these statements are false.
Determine which statements are true and which are false. Justify your answer.
[b]p2.[/b] Let $f(x) = a_{2017}x^{2017} + a_{2016}x^{2016} + ... + a_1x + a_0$ where the coefficients $a_0, a_1, ... , a_{2017}$ have not yet been determined. Alice and Bob play the following game:
$\bullet$ Alice and Bob alternate choosing nonzero integer values for the coefficients, with Alice going first. (For example, Alice’s first move could be to set $a_{18}$ to $-3$.)
$\bullet$ After all of the coefficients have been chosen:
- If f(x) has an integer root then Alice wins.
- If f(x) does not have an integer root then Bob wins.
Determine which player has a winning strategy and what the strategy is. Make sure to justify your answer.

[b]p4.[/b] A $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube of cheese is sliced into twenty-seven $ 1 \times 1 \times 1$ blocks. A mouse starts anywhere on the outside and eats one of the $1\times 1\times 1$ cubes. He then moves to an adjacent cube (in any direction), eats that cube, and continues until he has eaten all $27$ cubes. (Two cubes are considered adjacent if they share a face.) Prove that no matter what strategy the mouse uses, he cannot eat the middle cube last.
[Note: One should neglect gravity – intermediate configurations don’t collapse.]
p5. Suppose that a constant $c > 0$ and an infinite sequence of real numbers $x_0, x_1, x_2, ...$ satisfy
