Bengt wants to put out crosses and rings in the squares of an $n \times n$-square, so that it is exactly one ring and exactly one cross in each row and in each column, and no more than one symbol in each box. Mona wants to stop him by setting a number in advance ban on crosses and a number of bans on rings, maximum one ban in each square. She want to use as few bans as possible of each variety. To succeed in preventing Bengt, how many prohibitions she needs to use the least of the kind of prohibitions she uses the most of?

Through an informant, the police know the meeting place of a group of criminals. The identity of the different elements of the group is, however, unknown. Inspector Loureiro's task is to arrest the leader of the group. The inspector knows that the leader of the group is the shortest of the five members of the group, all of them of different heights, who will be present at the meeting. After the meeting, the bandits - as a precautionary measure - leave the building separately with an interval of $15$ minutes. As the inspector doesn't know which of them is the shortest, he decides to let the first two criminals out, and arrest the first of the following who is shorter than those who left until that moment. What is the probability that Inspector Loureiro will arrest the right person?

The diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at $O$. Let $S_1, S_2$ be the circumcircles of triangles $ABO$ and $CDO$ respectively, and $O,K$ their intersection points. The lines through $O$ parallel to $AB$ and $CD$ meet $S_1$ and $S_2$ again at $L$ and $M$, respectively. Points $P$ and $Q$ on segments $OL$ and $OM$ respectively are taken such that $OP : PL = MQ : QO$. Prove that $O,K, P,Q$ lie on a circle.

In the Jordan Building (the Olympiad building of High School Mandegar Alborz), Ali and Khosro are playing a game. First, Ali selects 2025 points on the plane such that no three points are collinear and no four points are concyclic. Then, Khosro selects a point, followed by Ali selecting another point, and then Khosro selects one more point. The circumcircle of these three points is drawn, and the number of points inside the circle is denoted by \( t \). If Khosro's goal is to maximize \( t \) and Ali's goal is to minimize \( t \), and both play optimally, determine the value of \( t \).

Given vectors $v_1, \dots, v_n$ and the string $v_1v_2 \dots v_n$,
we consider valid expressions formed by inserting $n-1$ sets of balanced parentheses and $n-1$ binary products,
such that every product is surrounded by a parentheses and is one of the following forms:
1. A "normal product'' $ab$, which takes a pair of scalars and returns a scalar, or takes a scalar and vector (in any order) and returns a vector. \\
2. A "dot product'' $a \cdot b$, which takes in two vectors and returns a scalar. \\
3. A "cross product'' $a \times b$, which takes in two vectors and returns a vector. \\
An example of a [i]valid [/i] expression when $n=5$ is $(((v_1 \cdot v_2)v_3) \cdot (v_4 \times v_5))$, whose final output is a scalar. An example of an [i] invalid [/i] expression is $(((v_1 \times (v_2 \times v_3)) \times (v_4 \cdot v_5))$; even though every product is surrounded by parentheses, in the last step one tries to take the cross product of a vector and a scalar. \\
Denote by $T_n$ the number of valid expressions (with $T_1 = 1$), and let $R_n$
denote the remainder when $T_n$ is divided by $4$.
Compute $R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + \ldots + R_{1,000,000}$.
