Peter and Basil take turns drawing roads on a plane, Peter starts. The road is either horizontal or a vertical line along which one can drive in only one direction (that direction is determined when the road is drawn). Can Basil always act in such a way that after each of his moves one could drive according to the rules between any two constructed crossroads, regardless of Peter's actions? Alexandr Perepechko

Carl chooses a [i]functional expression[/i]* $E$ which is a finite nonempty string formed from a set $x_1, x_2, \dots$ of variables and applications of a function $f$, together with addition, subtraction, multiplication (but not division), and fixed real constants. He then considers the equation $E = 0$, and lets $S$ denote the set of functions $f \colon \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ such that the equation holds for any choices of real numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots$. (For example, if Carl chooses the functional equation $$ f(2f(x_1)+x_2) - 2f(x_1)-x_2 = 0, $$ then $S$ consists of one function, the identity function. (a) Let $X$ denote the set of functions with domain $\mathbb R$ and image exactly $\mathbb Z$. Show that Carl can choose his functional equation such that $S$ is nonempty but $S \subseteq X$. (b) Can Carl choose his functional equation such that $|S|=1$ and $S \subseteq X$? *These can be defined formally in the following way: the set of functional expressions is the minimal one (by inclusion) such that (i) any fixed real constant is a functional expression, (ii) for any positive integer $i$, the variable $x_i$ is a functional expression, and (iii) if $V$ and $W$ are functional expressions, then so are $f(V)$, $V+W$, $V-W$, and $V \cdot W$.

The polynomial $$x^{10} + ?x^9 + ?x^8 + ... + ?x + 1$$ is written on the blackboard. Two players substitute (real) numbers instead of one of the question marks in turn. ($9$ turns total.) The first wins if the polynomial will have no real roots. Who wins?

Let $k$ and $n$ be integers with $1\leq k<n$. Alice and Bob play a game with $k$ pegs in a line of $n$ holes. At the beginning of the game, the pegs occupy the $k$ leftmost holes. A legal move consists of moving a single peg to any vacant hole that is further to the right. The players alternate moves, with Alice playing first. The game ends when the pegs are in the $k$ rightmost holes, so whoever is next to play cannot move and therefore loses. For what values of $n$ and $k$ does Alice have a winning strategy?

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. Consider an $n\times n$ chessboard with the usual chessboard colouring. A move consists of choosing a $1\times 1$ square and switching the colour of all squares in its row and column (including the chosen square itself). For which $n$ is it possible to get a monochrome chessboard after a finite sequence of moves?
