Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices with at least one edge, and let us consider those $S:V(G)\to\mathbb R^{\ge 0}$ weighings of the vertices of the graph for which $\sum_{v\in V(G)} S(v)=1$. Furthermore define \[f(G)=\max_S\min_{(v,w)\in E(G)}S(v)S(w),\] where $S$ runs through all possible weighings. Prove that $f(G)=\frac1{n^2}$ if and only if the vertices of $G$ can be covered with a disjoint union of edges and odd cycles. ($V(G)$ denotes the vertices of graph $G$, $E(G)$ denotes the edges of graph $G$.)

Famous French mathematician Pierre Fermat believed that all numbers of the form $F_n = 2^{2^n} + 1$ are prime for all non-negative integers $n$. Indeed, one can check that $F_0 = 3$, $F_1 = 5$, $F_2 = 17$, $F_3 = 257$ are all prime. a) Prove that $F_5$ is divisible by $641$. (Hence Fermat was wrong.) b) Prove that if $k \ne n$ then $F_k$ and $F_n$ are relatively prime (i.e. they do not have any common divisor except $1$) (Notice: using b) one can prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers)

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$, $A$-excenter $I_A$, $B$-excenter $I_B$, and $C$-excenter $I_C$. The incircle of $\Delta ABC$ is tangent to sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ at $D, E,$ and $F$ respectively. Lines $I_BE$ and $I_CF$ intersect at $P$.

In the Euclidean three-dimensional space, we call [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ every partition of $S \setminus \{x,y\}$ into disjoint circles, where $x$ and $y$ are two points of $S$. A folding of $S$ is called [b]linear[/b] if the circles of the [i]folding[/i] are obtained by the intersection of $S$ with a family of parallel planes or with a family of planes containing a straight line $D$ exterior to $S$. Is every [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ [b]linear[/b]?

Black and white coins are placed on some of the squares of a $418\times 418$ grid. All black coins that are in the same row as any white coin(s) are removed. After that, all white coins that are in the same column as any black coin(s) are removed. If $b$ is the number of black coins remaining and $w$ is the number of remaining white coins, find the remainder when the maximum possible value of $bw$ gets divided by $2007$.
