Let $\mathcal L$ be the set of all lines in the plane and let $f$ be a function that assigns to each line $\ell\in\mathcal L$ a point $f(\ell)$ on $\ell$. Suppose that for any point $X$, and for any three lines $\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3$ passing through $X$, the points $f(\ell_1),f(\ell_2),f(\ell_3)$, and $X$ lie on a circle.
Prove that there is a unique point $P$ such that $f(\ell)=P$ for any line $\ell$ passing through $P$.

The numbers $1,2,\dots, 2013$ are written on $2013$ stones weighing $1,2,\dots, 2013$ grams such that each number is used exactly once. We have a two-pan balance that shows the difference between the weights at the left and the right pans. No matter how the numbers are written, if it is possible to determine in $k$ weighings whether the weight of each stone is equal to the number that is written on the stone, what is the least possible value of $k$?

Let $n$ be a natural number. The graph $G$ has $10n$ vertices. They are separated into $10$ groups with $n$ vertices and we know that there is an edge between two of them if and only if they belong to two different groups. What’s the greatest number of edges a subgraph of $G$ can have, so that there are no 4-cliques in it?

Consider the real number axis (i. e. the $x$-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system). We mark the points $1$, $2$, ..., $2n$ on this axis. A flea starts at the point $1$. Now it jumps along the real number axis; it can jump only from a marked point to another marked point, and it doesn't visit any point twice. After the ($2n-1$)-th jump, it arrives at a point from where it cannot jump any more after this rule, since all other points are already visited. Hence, with its $2n$-th jump, the flea breaks this rule and gets back to the point $1$. Assume that the sum of the (non-directed) lengths of the first $2n-1$ jumps of the flea was $n\left(2n-1\right)$. Show that the length of the last ($2n$-th) jump is $n$.
