[b]p1.[/b] A tennis net is made of strings tied up together which make a grid consisting of small squares as shown below. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/4/72077777d57408d9fff0ea5e79be5ecb6fe8c3.png[/img] The size of the net is $100\times 10$ small squares. What is the maximal number of sides of small squares which can be cut without breaking the net into two separate pieces? (The side is cut only in the middle, not at the ends). [b]p2.[/b] What number is bigger $2^{300}$ or $3^{200}$ ? [b]p3.[/b] All noble knights participating in a medieval tournament in Camelot used nicknames. In the tournament each knight had combats with all other knights. In each combat one knight won and the second one lost. At the end of tournament the losers reported their real names to the winners and to the winners of their winners. Was there a person who knew the real names of all knights? [b]p4.[/b] Two players Tom and Sid play the following game. There are two piles of rocks, $10$ rocks in the first pile and $12$ rocks in the second pile. Each of the players in his turn can take either any amount of rocks from one pile or the same amount of rocks from both piles. The winner is the player who takes the last rock. Who does win in this game if Tom starts the game? [b]p5.[/b] There is an interesting $5$-digit integer. With a $1$ after it, it is three times as large as with a $1$ before it. What is the number?

Dragon selects three positive real numbers with sum $100$, uniformly at random. He asks Cat to copy them down, but Cat gets lazy and rounds them all to the nearest tenth during transcription. If the probability the three new numbers still sum to $100$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Aaron Lin[/i]

2005 Tournament of Towns, 6

John and James wish to divide $25$ coins, of denominations $1, 2, 3, \ldots , 25$ kopeks. In each move, one of them chooses a coin, and the other player decides who must take this coin. John makes the initial choice of a coin, and in subsequent moves, the choice is made by the player having more kopeks at the time. In the event that there is a tie, the choice is made by the same player in the preceding move. After all the coins have been taken, the player with more kokeps wins. Which player has a winning strategy? [i](6 points)[/i]
