Let $n$ be a positive integer. There are $2018n+1$ cities in the Kingdom of Sellke Arabia. King Mark wants to build two-way roads that connect certain pairs of cities such that for each city $C$ and integer $1\le i\le 2018,$ there are exactly $n$ cities that are a distance $i$ away from $C.$ (The [i]distance[/i] between two cities is the least number of roads on any path between the two cities.)
For which $n$ is it possible for Mark to achieve this?

A square is placed in the plane and a point $P$ is marked in this plane with invisible ink. A certain person can see this point through special glasses. One can draw a straight line and this person will say on which side of the line the point $P$ lies. If $P$ lies on the line, the person says so. What is the minimal number of questions one needs to find out if $P$ lies inside the square or not?

A baseball league has $6$ teams. To decide the schedule for the league, for each pair of teams, a coin is flipped. If it lands head, they will play a game this season, in which one team wins and one team loses. If it lands tails, they don't play a game that season. Define the [i]imbalance[/i] of this schedule to be the minimum number of teams that will end up undefeated, i.e. lose $0$ games. Find the expected value of the imbalance in this league.
