Let $M$ be a set of $n \ge 4$ points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Initially these points are connected with $n$ segments so that each point in $M$ is the endpoint of exactly two segments. Then, at each step, one may choose two segments $AB$ and $CD$ sharing a common interior point and replace them by the segments $AC$ and $BD$ if none of them is present at this moment. Prove that it is impossible to perform $n^3 /4$ or more such moves.

You want to color a flag like the one shown in the following image, for which four different colors are available. Two regions of the flag that share a side (or a segment of a side) must have different colors. The flag cannot be flipped, rotated, or reflected. How many different flags can be colored with these conditions?

Kelvin the Frog lives in the 2-D plane. Each day, he picks a uniformly random direction (i.e. a uniformly random bearing $\theta\in [0,2\pi]$) and jumps a mile in that direction. Let $D$ be the number of miles Kelvin is away from his starting point after ten days. Determine the expected value of $D^4$.

The [i]cross[/i] of a convex $n$-gon is the quadratic mean of the lengths between the possible pairs of vertices. For example, the cross of a $3 \times 4$ rectangle is $\sqrt{ \dfrac{3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 5^2}{6} } = \dfrac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}$.
Suppose $S$ is a dodecagon ($12$-gon) inscribed in a unit circle. Find the greatest possible cross of $S$.
