Given an integer $d \ge 2$ and a circle $\omega$. Hansel drew a finite number of chords of circle $\omega$. The following condition is fulfilled: each end of each chord drawn is at least an end of $d$ different drawn chords. Prove that there is a drawn chord which intersects at least $\tfrac{d^2}{4}$ other drawn chords. Here we assume that the chords with a common end intersect.

There are $50$ male and $50$ female members registered in the QED-DB, who are also there are numbered from $1$ to $100$. In $100$ rounds, Andreas chooses at random one member for the seminar in Bad Tolz, whereupon Katharina already has two each time selected QED members of different sexes may or may not be paired up. Of course QED members cannot be coupled multiple times, ignoring relationships from the time before but both conscientiously. The stability of a relationship between two QED members is the amount of the difference between their numbers in DB and the sum of all stabilities is the promotion of young talent in the QED. What is the greatest possible demand of offspring guaranteed to achieve orgasm?

On a flat plane in Camelot, King Arthur builds a labyrinth $\mathfrak{L}$ consisting of $n$ walls, each of which is an infinite straight line. No two walls are parallel, and no three walls have a common point. Merlin then paints one side of each wall entirely red and the other side entirely blue.
At the intersection of two walls there are four corners: two diagonally opposite corners where a red side and a blue side meet, one corner where two red sides meet, and one corner where two blue sides meet. At each such intersection, there is a two-way door connecting the two diagonally opposite corners at which sides of different colours meet.
After Merlin paints the walls, Morgana then places some knights in the labyrinth. The knights can walk through doors, but cannot walk through walls.
Let $k(\mathfrak{L})$ be the largest number $k$ such that, no matter how Merlin paints the labyrinth $\mathfrak{L},$ Morgana can always place at least $k$ knights such that no two of them can ever meet. For each $n,$ what are all possible values for $k(\mathfrak{L}),$ where $\mathfrak{L}$ is a labyrinth with $n$ walls?
