Board with dimesions $2018 \times 2018$ is divided in unit cells $1 \times 1$. In some cells of board are placed black chips and in some white chips (in every cell maximum is one chip). Firstly we remove all black chips from columns which contain white chips, and then we remove all white chips from rows which contain black chips. If $W$ is number of remaining white chips, and $B$ number of remaining black chips on board and $A=min\{W,B\}$, determine maximum of $A$

Six assassins, numbered 1-6, stand in a circle. Each assassin is randomly assigned a target such that each assassin has a different target and no assassin is their own target. In increasing numerical order, each assassin, if they are still alive, kills their target. Find the expected number of assassins still alive at the end of this process.

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges such that no two cycles share an edge. Prove that $2m < 3n$.
[i]Note[/i]: A [i]simple graph[/i] is a graph with at most one edge between any two vertices and no edges from any vertex to itself. A [i]cycle[/i] is a sequence of distinct vertices $v_1, \dots, v_n$ such that there is an edge between any two consecutive vertices, and between $v_n$ and $v_1$.

Adithya and Bill are playing a game on a connected graph with $n > 2$ vertices, two of which are labeled $A$ and $B$, so that $A$ and $B$ are distinct and non-adjacent and known to both players. Adithya starts on vertex $A$ and Bill starts on $B$. Each turn, both players move simultaneously: Bill moves to an adjacent vertex, while Adithya may either move to an adjacent vertex or stay at his current vertex. Adithya loses if he is on the same vertex as Bill, and wins if he reaches $B$ alone. Adithya cannot see where Bill is, but Bill can see where Adithya is. Given that Adithya has a winning strategy, what is the maximum possible number of edges the graph may have? (Your answer may be in terms of $n$.)
