Nair and Yuli play the following game:
$1.$ There is a coin to be moved along a horizontal array with $203$ cells.
$2.$ At the beginning, the coin is at the first cell, counting from left to right.
$3.$ Nair plays first.
$4.$ Each of the players, in their turns, can move the coin $1$, $2$, or $3$ cells to the right.
$5.$ The winner is the one who reaches the last cell first.
What strategy does Nair need to use in order to always win the game?

Given $5$ points in a plane, no three of them being collinear. Each two of these $5$ points are joined with a segment, and every of these segments is painted either red or blue; assume that there is no triangle whose sides are segments of equal color.
[b]a.)[/b] Show that:
[i](1)[/i] Among the four segments originating at any of the $5$ points, two are red and two are blue.
[i](2)[/i] The red segments form a closed way passing through all $5$ given points. (Similarly for the blue segments.)
[b]b.)[/b] Give a plan how to paint the segments either red or blue in order to have the condition (no triangle with equally colored sides) satisfied.

$7662$ chairs are placed in a circle around the city of Chiang Mai. They are also marked with a label for either $1$st, $2$nd, or $3$rd grade students, so that there are $2554$ chairs labeled with each label. The following situations happen, in order
[list=i]
[*] $2554$ students each from the $1$st, $2$nd, and $3$rd grades are given a ball as follows: $1$st grade students receive footballs, $2$nd grade students receive basketballs, and $3$rd grade students receive volleyballs.
[*] The students go sit in chairs labeled for their grade
[*] The students simultaneously send their balls to the student to their left, and this happens some positive number of times.

A labelling of the chairs is called [i]lin-ping[/i] if it is possible for all $1$st, $2$nd, and $3$rd grade students to now hold volleyballs, footballs, and basketballs respectively. Compute the number of [i]lin-ping[/i] labellings

A function $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ has the property that for every
$x,y\in\mathbb R$ there exists a real number $t$ (depending on $x$ and $y$) such
that $0<t<1$ and
$$f(tx+(1-t)y)=tf(x)+(1-t)f(y).$$
Does it imply that
$$f\left(\frac{x+y}2\right)=\frac{f(x)+f(y)}2$$
for every $x,y\in\mathbb R$?

Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have centers $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively, and intersect at points $M$ and $N$. The radii of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are $12$ and $15$, respectively, and $O_1O_2 = 18$. A point $X$ is chosen on segment $MN$. Line $O_1X$ intersects $\omega_2$ at points $A$ and $C$, where $A$ is inside $\omega_1$. Similarly, line $O_2X$ intersects $\omega_1$ at points $B$ and $D$, where $B$ is inside $\omega_2$. The perpendicular bisectors of segments $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at point $P$. Given that $PO_1 = 30$, find $PO_2^2$.
