2023 Taiwan TST Round 3, 5

Let $N$ be a positive integer. Kingdom Wierdo has $N$ castles, with at most one road between each pair of cities. There are at most four guards on each road. To cost down, the King of Wierdos makes the following policy: (1) For any three castles, if there are roads between any two of them, then any of these roads cannot have four guards. (2) For any four castles, if there are roads between any two of them, then for any one castle among them, the roads from it toward the other three castles cannot all have three guards. Prove that, under this policy, the total number of guards on roads in Kingdom Wierdo is smaller than or equal to $N^2$. [i]Remark[/i]: Proving that the number of guards does not exceed $cN^2$ for some $c > 1$ independent of $N$ will be scored based on the value of $c$. [i]Proposed by usjl[/i]

2006 Purple Comet Problems, 7

Heather and Kyle need to mow a lawn and paint a room. If Heather does both jobs by herself, it will take her a total of nine hours. If Heather mows the lawn and, after she finishes, Kyle paints the room, it will take them a total of eight hours. If Kyle mows the lawn and, after he finishes, Heather paints the room, it will take them a total of seven hours. If Kyle does both jobs by himself, it will take him a total of six hours. It takes Kyle twice as long to paint the room as it does for him to mow the lawn. The number of hours it would take the two of them to complete the two tasks if they worked together to mow the lawn and then worked together to paint the room is a fraction $\tfrac{m}{n}$where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function and let $g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be arbitrary. Suppose that the Minkowski sum of the graph of $f$ and the graph of $g$ (i.e., the set $\{( x+y; f(x)+g(y) ) \mid x, y \in \mathbb{R}\}$) has Lebesgue measure zero. Does it follow then that the function $f$ is of the form $f(x) = ax + b$ with suitable constants $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ ?

A trapezium has parallel sides of length equal to $a$ and $b$ ($a <b$), and the distance between the parallel sides is the altitude $h$. The extensions of the non-parallel lines intersect at a point that is a vertex of two triangles that have as sides the parallel sides of the trapezium. Express the areas of the triangles as functions of $a,b$ and $h$.

$2048$ frogs are sitting in a circle and each have a $\$1$ bill. After each minute, each frog will independently give away each of their $\$1$ bills to either the closest frog to their left or the closest frog to their right with equal probability. If a frog has $\$0$ at the end of any given minute, then they will not give any money but may receive money. The expected number of frogs to have at least $\$1$ after $3$ minutes can be denoted as a common fraction in the form $\tfrac{a}{b}.$ Find $a+b.$
