Let $\ell_1, \ell_2$ be two non-parallel lines and $d_1, d_2$ be positive reals. The set of points $X$, such that $dist(X, \ell_i)$ is a multiple of $d_i$ is called a $\textit{grid}$. Let $A$ be finite set of points, not all collinear. A triangle with vertices in $A$ is called $\textit{empty}$ if no points from $A$ lie inside or on the sides of the triangle. Given that all empty triangles have the same area, show that $A$ is the intersection of a grid $L$ and a convex polygon $F$.

Let $f$ be a function on $(1,\ldots,n)$ that generates a permutation of $(1,\ldots,n)$. We call a fixed point of $f$ any element in the original permutation such that the element's position is not changed when the permutation is applied. Given that $n$ is a multiple of $4$, $g$ is a permutation whose fixed points are $\left(1,\ldots,\frac n2\right)$, and $h$ is a permutation whose fixed points consist of every element in an even-numbered position. What is the expected number of fixed points in $h(g(1,2,\ldots,104))$?

A $100 \times 100$ table is given. For each $k, 1 \le k \le 100$, the $k$-th row of the table contains the numbers $1,2,\dotsc,k$ in increasing order (from left to right) but not necessarily in consecutive cells; the remaining $100-k$ cells are filled with zeroes. Prove that there exist two columns such that the sum of the numbers in one of the columns is at least $19$ times as large as the sum of the numbers in the other column.
