There are five people in a room. They each simultaneously pick two of the other people in the room independently and uniformly at random and point at them. Compute the probability that there exists a group of three people such that each of them is pointing at the other two in the group.

Let $n$ be a natural number. At first the cells of a table $2n$ x $2n$ are colored in white. Two players $A$ and $B$ play the following game. First is $A$ who has to color $m$ arbitrary cells in red and after that $B$ chooses $n$ rows and $n$ columns and color their cells in black. Player $A$ wins, if there is at least one red cell on the board. Find the least value of $m$ for which $A$ wins no matter how $B$ plays.

Squares of side lengths $1,$ $2,$ $3,$ and $4,$ are placed on a line segment $\ell$ from left to right, respectively, and these squares lie on the same side of $\ell,$ forming a polygon $P.$ An equilateral triangle whose base is $\ell$ is drawn around the squares such that its other two sides intersect $P$ at its leftmost and rightmost vertices (that are not on $\ell$). The area of the triangle can be written in the form $\tfrac{a + b\sqrt{3}}{c},$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are positive integers, and $b$ and $c$ are relatively prime. Find $a + b + c.$

We say a positive integer $n$ is [i]$k$-tasty[/i] for some positive integer $k$ if there exists a permutation $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n)$ of $(0,1,2, \ldots, n)$ such that $|a_{i+1} - a_i| \in \{k, k+1\}$ for all $0 \le i \le n-1$. Prove that for all positive integers $k$, there exists a constant $N$ such that all integers $n \geq N$ are $k$-tasty.

In a country, there are towns, some of which are connected by roads. There is a route (not necessarily direct) between every two towns. The Minister of Education has ensured that every town without a school is connected via a direct road to a town that has a school. The Minister of State Optimization wants to ensure that there is a unique path between any two towns (without repeating traveled segments), which may require removing some roads.
Is it always possible to achieve this without constructing additional schools while preserving what the Minister of Education has accomplished?

Given a natural number $n$, for what maximal value $k$ it is possible to construct a matrix of size $k \times n$ consisting only of elements $\pm 1$ in such a way that for any interchange of a $+1$ with a $-1$ or vice versa, its rank is equal to $k$?

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers. An $n$-tuple $(a_1, a_2,\ldots , a_n)$ is called a permutation if every number from the set $\{1, 2, . . . , n\}$ occurs in it exactly once. For a permutation $(p_1, p_2, . . . , p_n)$, we define its $k$-mutation to be the $n$-tuple
$$(p_1 + p_{1+k}, p_2 + p_{2+k}, . . . , p_n + p_{n+k}),$$
where indices are taken modulo $n$. Find all pairs $(n, k)$ such that every two distinct permutations have distinct $k$-mutations.
[i]Remark[/i]: For example, when $(n, k) = (4, 2)$, the $2$-mutation of $(1, 2, 4, 3)$ is $(1 + 4, 2 + 3, 4 + 1, 3 + 2) = (5, 5, 5, 5)$.
