An infinite number of lilypads grow in a line, numbered $\dots$, $-2$, $-1$, $0$, $1$, $2$, $\dots$ Thumbelina and her pet frog start on one of the lilypads. She wants to make a sequence of jumps that will end on either pad $0$ or pad $96$. On each jump, Thumbelina tells her frog the distance (number of pads) to leap, but the frog chooses whether to jump left or right. From which starting pads can she always get to pad $0$ or pad $96$, regardless of her frog's decisions?

Robert has two stacks of five cards numbered 1--5, one of which is randomly shuffled while the other is in numerical order. They pick one of the stacks at random and turn over the first three cards, seeing that they are 1, 2, and 3 respectively. What is the probability the next card is a 4?

Given $30$ equal cups with milk. An elf tries to make the amount of milk equal in all the cups. He takes a pair of cups and aligns the milk level in two cups. Can there be such an initial distribution of milk in the cups, that the elf will not be able to achieve his goal in a finite number of operations?

It is possible to perform three operations $f, g$, and $h$ for positive integers: $f(n) = 10n, g(n) = 10n + 4$, and $h(2n) = n$; in other words, one may write $0$ or $4$ in the end of the number and one may divide an even number by $2$. Prove: every positive integer can be constructed starting from $4$ and performing a finite number of the operations $f, g,$ and $h$ in some order.

Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer. A cube of size $n \times n \times n$ is dissected into $n^3$ unit cubes. A nonzero real number is written at the center of each unit cube so that the sum of the $n^2$ numbers in each slab of size $1 \times n \times n$, $n \times 1 \times n$, or $n \times n \times 1$ equals zero. (There are a total of $3n$ such slabs, forming three groups of $n$ slabs each such that slabs in the same group are parallel and slabs in different groups are perpendicular.) Could it happen that some plane in three-dimensional space separates the positive and the negative written numbers? (The plane should not pass through any of the numbers.) [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i]
