Suppose real numbers $A,B,C$ such that for all real numbers $x,y,z$ the following inequality holds: \[A(x-y)(x-z) + B(y-z)(y-x) + C(z-x)(z-y) \geq 0.\] Find the necessary and sufficient condition $A,B,C$ must satisfy (expressed by means of an equality or an inequality).

Let $n(\ge 2)$ be an integer. $2n^2$ contestants participate in a Chinese chess competition, where any two contestant play exactly once. There may be draws. It is known that (1)If A wins B and B wins C, then A wins C. (2)there are at most $\frac{n^3}{16}$ draws. Proof that it is possible to choose $n^2$ contestants and label them $P_{ij}(1\le i,j\le n)$, so that for any $i,j,i',j'\in \{1,2,...,n\}$, if $i<i'$, then $P_{ij}$ wins $P_{i'j'}$.

2019 China Team Selection Test, 6

Let $k$ be a positive real. $A$ and $B$ play the following game: at the start, there are $80$ zeroes arrange around a circle. Each turn, $A$ increases some of these $80$ numbers, such that the total sum added is $1$. Next, $B$ selects ten consecutive numbers with the largest sum, and reduces them all to $0$. $A$ then wins the game if he/she can ensure that at least one of the number is $\geq k$ at some finite point of time. Determine all $k$ such that $A$ can always win the game.

Each of the integers $a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots,a_{2008}$ is at least $1$ and at most $5$. If $a_n < a_{n+1}$, the pair $(a_n, a_{n+1})$ will be called as an increasing pair. If $a_n > a_{n+1}$, the pair $(a_n, a_{n+1})$ will be called as an decreasing pair. If the sequence contains $103$ increasing pairs, at least how many decreasing pairs are there? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 21 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 24 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 36 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 102 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{None of the above} $

A traffic accident involved three cars: one blue, one green, and one red. Three witnesses spoke to the police and gave the following statements: **Person 1:** The red car was guilty, and either the green or the blue one was involved. **Person 2:** Either the green car or the red car was guilty, but not both. **Person 3:** Only one of the cars was guilty, but it was not the blue one. The police know that at least one car was guilty and that at least one car was not. However, the police do not know if any of the three witnesses lied. Which car(s) were responsible for the accident?
