On the sides of triangle $ABC$, isosceles right-angled triangles $AUB, CVB$, and $AWC$ are placed. These three triangles have their right angles at vertices $U, V$ , and $W$, respectively. Triangle $AUB$ lies completely inside triangle $ABC$ and triangles $CVB$ and $AWC$ lie completely outside $ABC$. See the figure. Prove that quadrilateral $UVCW$ is a parallelogram.

We have a collection of $1720$ balls, half of which are black and half of which are white, aligned in a straight line. Our task is to make the balls alternating in color along the line. The following greedy algorithm accomplishes that task for $2n$ balls: \begin{tabular}{l} 1: \textbf{FOR} $i$ \textbf{IN} $[2,3,\dots,2n]$ \\ 2: $\quad$ \textbf{IF} balls $i-1$ and $i$ have the same color: \\ 3: $\quad\quad$ $j\gets$ smallest index greater than $i$ for which balls $i-1$ and $j$ have different colors \\ 4: $\quad\quad$ swap balls $i$ and $j$ \end{tabular} Given a configuration $C$ of our $1720$ balls, let $\hat{\sigma}(C)$ denote the number of swaps the greedy algorithm takes, and let $\sigma(C)$ denote the minimum number of swaps actually necessary to perform the task. Find the maximum value over all configurations $C$ of $\hat{\sigma}(C)-\sigma(C)$.

You are given some $12$ non-zero, not necessarily distinct real numbers. Find all positive integers $k$ from $1$ to $12$, such that among these numbers you can always choose $k$ numbers whose sum has the same sign as their product, that is, either both the sum and the product are positive, or both are negative.

Beto has rectangular chessboard where the number of rows and columns are consecutive numbers (for example, $30$ and $31$). Ana has tiles of two colors and different sizes: the red tiles are $5 \times 7$ rectangles and the blue tiles are $3 \times 5$ rectangles. Ana realized that she can cover all the squares of Beto’s board using only red tiles, which can be rotated, but must not overlap or extend beyond the board. Then, she realized she can also do the same using only blue tiles. What is the minimum number of squares that Beto’s board can have?
