In the country of Muilejistan, there exists a network of roads connecting all its cities. The network has the particular property that for any two cities, there is a unique path without backtracking (i.e., a path where the traveler never returns along the same road). The longest possible path between two cities is 600 kilometers. For instance, the path from the city of Mlar to the city of Nlar is 600 kilometers. Similarly, the path from the city of Klar to the city of Glar is also 600 kilometers. 1. If Jalim departs from Mlar towards Nlar at noon and Kalim departs from Klar towards Glar also at noon, both traveling at the same speed, prove that they meet at some point on their journey. 2. If the distance in kilometers between any two cities is an integer, prove that the distance from Glar to Mlar is even.

Let $G$ be the complete graph on $2015$ vertices. Each edge of $G$ is dyed red, blue or white. For a subset $V$ of vertices of $G$, and a pair of vertices $(u,v)$, define \[ L(u,v) = \{ u,v \} \cup \{ w | w \in V \ni \triangle{uvw} \text{ has exactly 2 red sides} \}\]Prove that, for any choice of $V$, there exist at least $120$ distinct values of $L(u,v)$.

2010 All-Russian Olympiad, 4

In the county some pairs of towns connected by two-way non-stop flight. From any town we can flight to any other (may be not on one flight). Gives, that if we consider any cyclic (i.e. beginning and finish towns match) route, consisting odd number of flights, and close all flights of this route, then we can found two towns, such that we can't fly from one to other. Proved, that we can divided all country on $4$ regions, such that any flight connected towns from other regions.

Andy is planning to flip a fair coin 10 times. Among the 10 flips, Valencia randomly chooses one flip to exchange Andy's fair coin with her special coin which lands on heads with a probability of $\frac{1}{4}$. If the coin is exchanged in a certain flip, then that flip, along with all following flips will be performed with the special coin. The expected number of heads Andy flips can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Andy Xu[/i]

King Minos divided his rectangular island of Crete between his 3 sons as follows: he built a wall along one diagonal of the island and gave one half of the island to his eldest son. Then, in the remaining triangular area, from the right-angled vertex he built a wall perpendicular to the other wall. Of the two areas thus obtained, the larger was given to the middle son and the smaller to the youngest. Each of the three sons had the largest possible square palace built on his own land. How many times is the area of the eldest son’s palace larger than the area of the youngest son’s palace if the side lengths of the island are $30$ m and $210$ m?

Floyd the flea makes jumps on the positive integers. On the first day he can jump to any positive integer. From then on, every day he jumps to another number that is not more than twice his previous day's place. [list=a] [*]Show that Floyd can make infinitely many jumps in such a way that he never arrives at any number with the same sum of decimal digits as at a previous place.[/*] [*]Can the flea jump this way if we consider the sum of binary digits instead of decimal digits?[/*] [/list]
