Mereduth has many red boxes and many blue boxes. Coloon has placed five green boxes in a row on the ground, and Mereduth wants to arrange some number of her boxes on top of his row. Assume that each box must be placed so that it straddles two lower boxes. Including the one with no boxes, how many arrangements can Mereduth make?

$ n > 2 $ points are chosen on a circle and each of them is connected to every other by a segment. Is it possible to draw all of these segments in one sequence, i.e. so that the end of the first segment is the beginning of the second, the end of the second - the beginning of the third, etc., and so that the end of the last segment is the beginning of the first?

Let $S$ be a finite set and $P$ the set of all subsets of $S$. Show that one can label the elements of $P$ as $A_i$ such that (1) $A_1 =\emptyset$. (2) For each $n\geq1 $ we either have $A_{n-1}\subset A_{n}$ and $|A_{n} \setminus A_{n-1}|=1$ or $A_{n}\subset A_{n-1}$ and $|A_{n-1} \setminus A_{n}|=1.$

If $a$, $b$ ,$c$ are three positive real numbers such that $ab+bc+ca = 1$, prove that \[ \sqrt[3]{ \frac{1}{a} + 6b} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{b} + 6c} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{c} + 6a } \leq \frac{1}{abc}. \]

Let $G$ be a simple, connected and finite grafo. A hunter and an invisible rabbit play in the graph $G$. The rabbit is initially in a vertex $w_0$. In the $k$-th turn (for $k \geq 0$) the hunter picks freely a vertex $v_k$. If $v_k = w_k$, the rabbit is capture and the game ends. If not, the rabbit moves invisibly by an edge of $w_k$ to $w_{k+1}$ ($w_k$ and $w_{k+1}$ are adjacent and therefore distinct) and the game continues. The hunter knows these rules and the graph $G$. After the $k-$th turn he knows that $w_k \not = v_k$, but he gets no more information. Characterize the graphs $G$ such that the hunter has an strategy that guaranties that he can capture the rabbit in at most $N$ turns for some positive integer $N$. Here $N$ must depend only on $G$ and the strategy should work independently of the initial position and trajectory of the rabbit.

In the following triangular lattice distance of two vertices is length of the shortest path between them. Let $ A_{1},A_{2},\dots,A_{n}$ be constant vertices of the lattice. We want to find a vertex in the lattice whose sum of distances from vertices is minimum. We start from an arbitrary vertex. At each step we check all six neighbors and if sum of distances from vertices of one of the neighbors is less than sum of distances from vertices at the moment we go to that neighbor. If we have more than one choice we choose arbitrarily, as seen in the attached picture. Obviusly the algorithm finishes a) Prove that when we can not make any move we have reached to the problem's answer. b) Does this algorithm reach to answer for each connected graph?

An object is thrown with a fixed initial speed $v_\text{0}$ at various angles $\alpha$ relative to the horizon. At some constant height $h$ above the launch point the speed $v$ of the object is measured as a function of the initial angle $\alpha$. Which of the following best describes the dependence of $v$ on $\alpha$? (Assume that the height h is achieved, and assume that there is no air resistance.) (A) $v$ will increase monotonically with $\alpha$. (B) $v$ will increase to some critical value $v_{max}$ and then decrease. (C) $v$ will remain constant, independent of $\alpha$. (D) $v$ will decrease to some critical value $v_{min}$ and then increase. (E) None of the above.
