Tracey baked a square cake whose surface is dissected in a $ 10 \times 10$ grid. In some of the fields she wants to put a strawberry such that for each four fields that compose a rectangle whose edges run in parallel to the edges of the cake boundary there is at least one strawberry. What is the minimum number of required strawberries?

A clock hand is attached to every face of a convex polyhedron. Each hand always points towards a neighboring face and every minute, exactly one of the hands turns clockwise to point at the next face. Suppose that the hands on neighboring faces never point towards one another. Show that one of the hands makes only finitely many turns.

$3n$ people forming $n$ families of a mother, a father and a child, stand in a circle. Every two neighbours can exchange places except the case when a parent exchanges places with his/her child (this is forbidden). For what $n$ is it possible to obtain every arrangement of those people by such exchanges? The arrangements differing by a circular shift are considered distinct.

A unit square has a circle of radius $r$ with center at it's midpoint. The four quarter circles are centered on the vertices of the square and are tangent to the central circle (see figure). Find the maximum and minimum possible value of the area of the striped figure in the figure and the corresponding values of $r$ such these, the maximum and minimum are achieved.

Last year Isabella took 7 math tests and received 7 different scores, each an integer between 91 and 100, inclusive. After each test she noticed that the average of her test scores was an integer. Her score on the seventh test was 95. What was her score on the sixth test? $\textbf{(A)} \text{ 92} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \text{ 94} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \text{ 96} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \text{ 98} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \text{ 100}$

Consider a 10-dimensional \(10 \times 10 \times \cdots \times 10 \) cube consisting of \(10^{10}\) unit cubes, such that one cube \(A\) is centered at the origin, and one cube \(B\) is centered at \((9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9)\). Paint \(A\) red and remove \(B\), leaving an empty space. Let a move consist of taking a cube adjacent to the empty space and placing it into the empty space, leaving the space originally contained by the cube empty. What is the minimum number of moves required to result in a configuration where the cube centered at \((9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9)\) is red?
