Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple connected graph. Show that there exists a subset of edges $F \subseteq E$ such that every vertex in $H = (V, F)$ has odd degree if and only if $|V |$ is even. Note: A connected graph is a graph such that any two vertices have a sequence of edges connecting one to the other. Note: A simple graph has no loops (edges of the form $(v, v)$) or duplicate edges.

Given that $ \{a_n\}$ is a sequence in which all the terms are integers, and $ a_2$ is odd. For any natural number $ n$, $ n(a_{n \plus{} 1} \minus{} a_n \plus{} 3) \equal{} a_{n \plus{} 1} \plus{} a_n \plus{} 3$. Furthermore, $ a_{2009}$ is divisible by $ 2010$. Find the smallest integer $ n > 1$ such that $ a_n$ is divisible by $ 2010$. P.S.: I saw EVEN instead of ODD. Got only half of the points.

On the plane is give a broken line $ABCD$ in which $AB = BC = CD = 1$, and $AD$ is not equal to $1$. The positions of $B$ and $C$ are fixed but $A$ and $D$ change their positions in turn according to the following rule (preserving the distance rules given): the point $A$ is reflected with respect to the line $BD$, then $D$ is reflected with respect to the line $AC$ (in which $A$ occupies its new position), then $A$ is reflected with respect to the line $BD$ ($D$ occupying its new position), $D$ is reflected with respect to the line $AC$, and so on. Prove that after several steps $A$ and $D$ coincide with their initial positions. (M Kontzewich)

2019 Belarusian National Olympiad, 9.8

Andrey and Sasha play the game, making moves alternate. On his turn, Andrey marks on the plane an arbitrary point that has not yet been marked. After that, Sasha colors this point in one of two colors: white and black. Sasha wins if after his move it is impossible to draw a line such that all white points lie in one half-plane, while all black points lie in another half-plane with respect to this line. [b]a)[/b] Prove that Andrey can make moves in such a way that Sasha will never win. [b]b)[/b] Suppose that Andrey can mark only integer points on the Cartesian plane. Can Sasha guarantee himself a win regardless of Andrey's moves? [i](N. Naradzetski)[/i]
