The infinite checkered plane is divided into dominoes. If we move any horizontal domino of the partition by 49 cells to the right or left, we will also get a domino of the partition. If we move any vertical domino of the partition up or down by 49 cells, we will also get a domino of the partition. Can this happen?

A $5\times5$ grid of squares is filled with integers. Call a rectangle [i]corner-odd[/i] if its sides are grid lines and the sum of the integers in its four corners is an odd number. What is the maximum possible number of corner-odd rectangles within the grid? Note: A rectangles must have four distinct corners to be considered [i]corner-odd[/i]; i.e. no $1\times k$ rectangle can be [i]corner-odd[/i] for any positive integer $k$.

Consider $n\geqslant 6$ coplanar lines, no two parallel and no three concurrent. These lines split the plane into unbounded polygonal regions and polygons with pairwise disjoint interiors. Two polygons are non-adjacent if they do not share a side. Show that there are at least $(n-2)(n-3)/12$ pairwise non-adjacent polygons with the same number of sides each.

2021 JHMT HS, 11

Carter and Vivian decide to spend their afternoon listing pairs of real numbers, $(a, b).$ Carter wants to find all $(a, b)$ such that $(a, b)$ lie within a circle of radius $6$ centered at $(6, 6).$ Vivian hates circles and would rather find all $(a, b)$ such that $a,$ $b,$ and $6$ can be the side lengths of a triangle. If Carter randomly chooses an $(a, b)$ that satisfies his conditions, then the probability that the pair also satisfies Vivian's conditions can be written in the form $\tfrac{p}{q} + \tfrac{r}{s\pi},$ where $p,$ $q,$ $r,$ and $s$ are positive integers, $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime, and $r$ and $s$ are relatively prime. Find $p + q + r + s.$

In Occidentalia there are $20$ different companies, each looking to hire $15$ new employees. A group of $300$ applicants interview each of the companies. Each company qualifies each applicant as suitable or not suitable to work in it, in such a way that each of them finds exactly $p$ suitable applicants, with $p > 15$. and each applicant is found suitable by at least one company. What is the smallest of $p $f or which it is always possible to assign $15$ applicants to each company, given that each company is assigned only applicants that it considers appropriate, and that each of the $300$ applicants is assigned to a company?

Suppose that $\sum^\infty_{i=1} x_i$ is a convergent series of positive terms which monotonically decrease (that is, $x_1 \ge x_2 \ge x_3 \ge \cdots$). Let $P$ denote the set of all numbers which are sums of some (finite or infinite) subseries of $\sum^\infty_{i= 1} x_i.$ Show that $P$ is an interval if and only if \[ x_n \le \sum^\infty_{i = n + 1} x_i\] for every integer $n.$
