$A_0A_1\ldots A_n$ is a regular polygon with $n+1$ vertices ($n>2$). Initially $n$ stones are placed at vertex $A_0$. In each allowed operation, $2$ stones are moved simultaneously, at the player's choice: each stone is moved from the vertex where it is located to one of the adjacent $2$ vertices. Find all the values of $n$ for which it is possible to have, after a succession of permitted operations, a stone at each of the vertices $A_1,A_2,\ldots ,A_n$.
Clarification: The two stones that move in an allowed operation can be at the same vertex or at different vertices.

For a positive integer $k$, define the sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ such that $a_0=1$ and for all positive integers $n$, $a_n$ is the smallest positive integer greater than $a_{n-1}$ for which $a_n\equiv ka_{n-1}\pmod {2017}$.

Given a positive integer $n$. Consider a $3 \times n$ grid, a set $S$ of squares is called [i]connected[/i] if for any points $A \neq B$ in $S$, there exists an integer $l \ge 2$ and $l$ squares $A=C_1,C_2,\dots ,C_l=B$ in $S$ such that $C_i$ and $C_{i+1}$ shares a common side ($i=1,2,\dots,l-1$).
Find the largest integer $K$ satisfying that however the squares are colored black or white, there always exists a [i]connected[/i] set $S$ for which the absolute value of the difference between the number of black and white squares is at least $K$.

A set of $n$ points in Euclidean 3-dimensional space, no four of which are coplanar, is partitioned into two subsets $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$. An $\mathcal{AB}$-tree is a configuration of $n-1$ segments, each of which has an endpoint in $\mathcal{A}$ and an endpoint in $\mathcal{B}$, and such that no segments form a closed polyline. An $\mathcal{AB}$-tree is transformed into another as follows: choose three distinct segments $A_1B_1$, $B_1A_2$, and $A_2B_2$ in the $\mathcal{AB}$-tree such that $A_1$ is in $\mathcal{A}$ and $|A_1B_1|+|A_2B_2|>|A_1B_2|+|A_2B_1|$, and remove the segment $A_1B_1$ to replace it by the segment $A_1B_2$. Given any $\mathcal{AB}$-tree, prove that every sequence of successive transformations comes to an end (no further transformation is possible) after finitely many steps.

For each point $X$ in the plane, a real number $r_X > 0$ is assigned such that $2|r_X - r_Y | \le |XY |$, for any two points $X, Y$ .

In making Euclidean constructions in geometry it is permitted to use a ruler and a pair of compasses. In the constructions considered in this question no compasses are permitted, but the ruler is assumed to have two parallel edges, which can be used for constructing two parallel lines through two given points whose distance is at least equal to the breadth of the rule. Then the distance between the parallel lines is equal to the breadth of the ruler. Carry through the following constructions with such a ruler. Construct:
[b]a)[/b] The bisector of a given angle.
[b]b)[/b] The midpoint of a given rectilinear line segment.
[b]c)[/b] The center of a circle through three given non-collinear
points.
[b]d)[/b] A line through a given point parallel to a given line.
