Let $N$ be the number of functions $f:\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\} \rightarrow \{1,2,3,4,5\}$ that have the property that for $1\leq x\leq 5$ it is true that $f(f(x))=x$.

2021 Balkan MO Shortlist, C6

There is a population $P$ of $10000$ bacteria, some of which are friends (friendship is mutual), so that each bacterion has at least one friend and if we wish to assign to each bacterion a coloured membrane so that no two friends have the same colour, then there is a way to do it with $2021$ colours, but not with $2020$ or less. Two friends $A$ and $B$ can decide to merge in which case they become a single bacterion whose friends are precisely the union of friends of $A$ and $B$. (Merging is not allowed if $A$ and $B$ are not friends.) It turns out that no matter how we perform one merge or two consecutive merges, in the resulting population it would be possible to assign $2020$ colours or less so that no two friends have the same colour. Is it true that in any such population $P$ every bacterium has at least $2021$ friends?

How many three-digit numbers $\underline{abc}$ have the property that when it is added to $\underline{cba}$, the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is a palindrome? (Note that $\underline{cba}$ is not necessarily a three-digit number since before reversing, $c$ may be equal to $0$.)

See all the problems from 5-th Kyiv math festival [url=http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?p=506789#p506789]here[/url] Squirrels $A$ and $B$ have $360$ nuts. $A$ divides these nuts into five non-empty heaps and $B$ chooses three heaps. If the total number of nuts in these heaps is divisible by the total number of nuts in other two heaps then $A$ wins. Otherwise $B$ wins. Which of the squirrels has a winning strategy?

As shown in the figure, line segment $\overline{AD}$ is trisected by points $B$ and $C$ so that $AB=BC=CD=2.$ Three semicircles of radius $1,$ $\overarc{AEB},\overarc{BFC},$ and $\overarc{CGD},$ have their diameters on $\overline{AD},$ and are tangent to line $EG$ at $E,F,$ and $G,$ respectively. A circle of radius $2$ has its center on $F. $ The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form \[\frac{a}{b}\cdot\pi-\sqrt{c}+d,\] where $a,b,c,$ and $d$ are positive integers and $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. What is $a+b+c+d$?
