2025 6th Memorial "Aleksandar Blazhevski-Cane", P6

There are $n \ge 7$ points in the plane, no $3$ of which are collinear. At least $7$ pairs of points are joined by line segments. For every aforementioned line segment $s$, let $t(s)$ be the number of triangles for which the segment $s$ is a side. Prove that there exist different line segments $s_1, s_2, s_3,$ and $s_4$ such that \[t(s_1) = t(s_2) = t(s_3) = t(s_4)\] holds. Proposed by [i]Viktor Simjanoski[/i]

Height of a circular truncated cone is $8$. Center of sphere $O_1$ with a radius of $2$ is on the axis of the circular truncated cone. Sphere $O_1$ is tangent to the top surface and the flank. We can put another sphere $O_2$, satisfying that sphere $O_2$ with a radius of $3$ have only one common point with sphere $O_1$, bottom surface and the flank. Besides $O_2$, how many spheres can we put inside the circular truncated cone? $\text{(A)}1\qquad\text{(B)}2\qquad\text{(C)}3\qquad\text{(D)}4$

2023/2024 Tournament of Towns, 3

3. Eight farmers have a checkered $8 \times 8$ field. There is a fence along the boundary of the field. The entire field is completely covered with berries (there is a berry in every point of the field, except the points of the fence). The farmers divided the field along the grid lines in 8 plots of equal area (every plot is a polygon), however they did not demarcate their boundaries. Each farmer takes care of berries only inside his own plot (not on its boundaries). A farmer will notice a loss only if at least two berries disappeared inside his plot. There is a crow which knows all of the above, except the location of boundaries of plots. Can the crow carry off 9 berries from the field so that for sure no farmer will notice this?
