Eddie has a study block that lasts $1$ hour. It takes Eddie $25$ minutes to do his homework and $5$ minutes to play a game of Clash Royale. He can’t do both at the same time. How many games can he play in this study block while still completing his homework? [i]Proposed by Edwin Zhao[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{7}$ Study block lasts 60 minutes, thus he has 35 minutes to play Clash Royale, during which he can play $\frac{35}{5}=\boxed{7}$ games.

Consider a pool table with the shape of an equilateral triangle. A ball of negligible size is initially placed at the center of the table. After it has been hit, it will keep moving in the direction it was hit towards and bounce off any edges with perfect symmetry. If it eventually reaches the midpoint of any edge, we mark the midpoint of the entire route that the ball has travelled through. Repeating this experiment, how many points can we mark at most?

Two players in turn paint cells of the $7\times7$ table each using own color. A player can't paint a cell if its row or its column contains a cell painted by the other player. The game stops when one of the players can't make his turn. What maximal number of the cells can remain unpainted when the game stops?

2010 Tournament Of Towns, 7

Merlin summons the $n$ knights of Camelot for a conference. Each day, he assigns them to the $n$ seats at the Round Table. From the second day on, any two neighbours may interchange their seats if they were not neighbours on the first day. The knights try to sit in some cyclic order which has already occurred before on an earlier day. If they succeed, then the conference comes to an end when the day is over. What is the maximum number of days for which Merlin can guarantee that the conference will last?

Consider systems of three linear equations with unknowns $x,$ $y,$ and $z,$ \begin{align*} a_1 x + b_1 y + c_1 z = 0 \\ a_2 x + b_2 y + c_2 z = 0 \\ a_3 x + b_3 y + c_3 z = 0 \end{align*} where each of the coefficients is either $0$ or $1$ and the system has a solution other than $x = y = z = 0.$ For example, one such system is $\{1x + 1y + 0z = 0, 0x + 1y + 1z = 0, 0x + 0y + 0z = 0\}$ with a nonzero solution of $\{x, y, z\} = \{1, -1, 1\}.$ How many such systems are there? (The equations in a system need not be distinct, and two systems containing the same equations in a different order are considered different.) $\textbf{(A) } 302 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 338 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 340 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 343 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 344$
