Divide a circle into $2n$ equal sections. We call a circle [i]filled[/i] if it is filled with the numbers $0,1,2,\dots,n-1$. We call a filled circle [i] good[/i] if it has the following properties: $i$. Each number $0 \leq a \leq n-1$ is used exactly twice $ii$. For any $a$ we have that there are exactly $a$ sections between the two sections that have the number $a$ in them. Here is an example of a good filling for $n=5$ (View attachment) Prove that there doesn’t exist a good filling for $n=1399$

A paper convex quadrilateral will be called [b]folding[/b] if there are points $P,Q,R,S$ on the interiors of segments $AB,BC,CD,DA$ respectively so that if we fold in the triangles $SAP, PBQ, QCR, RDS$, they will exactly cover the quadrilateral $PQRS$. In other words, if the folded triangles will cover the quadrilateral $PQRS$ but won't cover each other. Prove that if quadrilateral $ABCD$ is folding, then $AC\perp BD$ or $ABCD$ is a trapezoid.

$N$ children no two of the same height stand in a line. The following two-step procedure is applied: first, the line is split into the least possible number of groups so that in each group all children are arranged from the left to the right in ascending order of their heights (a group may consist of a single child). Second, the order of children in each group is reversed, so now in each group the children stand in descending order of their heights. Prove that in result of applying this procedure $N - 1$ times the children in the line would stand from the left to the right in descending order of their heights. [i](12 points)[/i]

Two towns, $A$ and $B$, are connected by a straight road, $15$ miles long. Traveling from town $A$ to town $B$, the speed limit changes every $5$ miles: from $25$ to $40$ to $20$ miles per hour (mph). Two cars, one at town $A$ and one at town $B$, start moving toward each other at the same time. They drive exactly the speed limit in each portion of the road. How far from town $A$, in miles, will the two cars meet? $\textbf{(A) }7.75 \qquad\textbf{(B) }8 \qquad\textbf{(C) }8.25\qquad\textbf{(D) }8.5 \qquad\textbf{(E) }8.75$

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \] turns. (As usual, $\lceil x \rceil$ stands for the least integer not smaller than $x$. )
