Let there be a triangle $ABC$ with orthocenter $H$. Let the lengths of the heights be $h_a, h_b, h_c$ from points $A, B$ and respectively $C$, and the semi-perimeter $p$ of triangle $ABC$. It is known that $AH \cdot h_a + BH \cdot h_b + CH \cdot h_c = \frac{2}{3} \cdot p^2$. Show that $ABC$ is equilateral.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We start with $n$ piles of pebbles, each initially containing a single pebble. One can perform moves of the following form: choose two piles, take an equal number of pebbles from each pile and form a new pile out of these pebbles. Find (in terms of $n$) the smallest number of nonempty piles that one can obtain by performing a finite sequence of moves of this form.

Let the operation $ f$ of $ k$ variables defined on the set $ \{ 1,2,\ldots,n \}$ be called $ \textit{friendly}$ toward the binary relation $ \rho$ defined on the same set if \[ f(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k) \;\rho\ \;f(b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_k)\] implies $ a_i \; \rho \ b_i$ for at least one $ i,1\leq i \leq k$. Show that if the operation $ f$ is friendly toward the relations "equal to" and "less than," then it is friendly toward all binary relations. [i]B. Csakany[/i]

A $100\times 100$ chessboard is cut into dominoes ($1\times 2$ rectangles). Two persons play the following game: At each turn, a player glues together two adjacent cells (which were formerly separated by a cut-edge). A player loses if, after his turn, the $100\times 100$ chessboard becomes connected, i. e. between any two cells there exists a way which doesn't intersect any cut-edge. Which player has a winning strategy - the starting player or his opponent?
