In any rectangular game board with black and white squares, call a row $X$ a mix of rows $Y$ and $Z$ whenever each cell in row $X$ has the same colour as either the cell of the same column in row $Y$ or the cell of the same column in row $Z$. Let a natural number $m \ge 3$ be given. In some rectangular board, black and white squares lie in such a way that all the following conditions hold. 1) Among every three rows of the board, one is a mix of two others. 2) For every two rows of the board, their corresponding cells in at least one column have different colours. 3) For every two rows of the board, their corresponding cells in at least one column have equal colours. 4) It is impossible to add a new row with each cell either black or white to the board in a way leaving both conditions 1) and 2) still in force Find all possibilities of what can be the number of rows of the board.

Several pupils wrote a solution of a math problem on the blackboard on the break. When the teacher came in, a pupil was just clearing the blackboard, so the teacher could only observe that there was a rectangle with the sides of integer lenghts and a diagonal of lenght $ 2002$. Then the teacher pointed out that there was a computation error in pupils' solution. Why did he conclude that?

One bucket can hold up to $1$ gallon of water, another can hold up to $2$ gallons, and so on, with the largest able to hold up to $10$ gallons. The ten buckets are arranged in a line as shown below. Jack and Jill can pour some amount of water into each bucket, but no bucket can have less water than the one to its left. Is it possible that together, the ten buckets can hold 36 gallons of water?

Each pirate, including the captain, starts with $1$ gold coin. The captain makes proposals for redistributing the coins, and the crew vote on these proposals. The captain does not vote. For every proposal, each crew member greedily votes “yes” if he gains coins as a result of the proposal, “no” if he loses coins, and passes otherwise. If strictly more crew members vote “yes” than “no,” the proposal takes effect. The captain can make any number of proposals, one after the other. What is the largest number of coins the captain can accumulate? [u]Round 2[/u] [b]p6.[/b] The town of Lumenville has $100$ houses and is preparing for the math festival.

The Edison lighting company will hang strings of lights in straight lines between pairs of houses so that each house is connected by a string to exactly one other. Show that however the houses are arranged, the Edison company can always hang their strings of lights so that the total length of the strings is no more than the total length of the power wires the Tesla company used.
