In a tennis tournament, each competitor plays against every other competitor, and there are no draws. Call a group of four tennis players ``ordered'' if there is a clear winner and a clear loser (i.e., one person who beat the other three, and one person who lost to the other three.) Find the smallest integer $n$ for which any tennis tournament with $n$ people has a group of four tennis players that is ordered.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with symmedian point $K$. Select a point $A_1$ on line $BC$ such that the lines $AB$, $AC$, $A_1K$ and $BC$ are the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral. Define $B_1$ and $C_1$ similarly. Prove that $A_1$, $B_1$, and $C_1$ are collinear.

Ana and Bora are each given a sufficiently long paper strip, one with letter $A$ written , and the other with letter $B$. Every minute, one of them (not necessarily one after another) writes either on the left or on the right to the word on his/her strip the word written on the other strip. Prove that the day after, one will be able to cut word on Ana's strip into two words and exchange their places, obtaining a palindromic word.

Let $m_1,m_2,...,m_{2013} > 1$ be 2013 pairwise relatively prime positive integers and $A_1,A_2,...,A_{2013}$ be 2013 (possibly empty) sets with $A_i\subseteq \{1,2,...,m_i-1\}$ for $i=1,2,...,2013$. Prove that there is a positive integer $N$ such that
\[ N \le \left( 2\left\lvert A_1 \right\rvert + 1 \right)\left( 2\left\lvert A_2 \right\rvert + 1 \right)\cdots\left( 2\left\lvert A_{2013} \right\rvert + 1 \right) \]
and for each $i = 1, 2, ..., 2013$, there does [i]not[/i] exist $a \in A_i$ such that $m_i$ divides $N-a$.

Let $ n\ge 3$ be an integer. Let $ f(x)$ and $ g(x)$ be polynomials with real coefficients such that the points $ (f(1),g(1)),(f(2),g(2)),\dots,(f(n),g(n))$ in $ \mathbb{R}^2$ are the vertices of a regular $ n$-gon in counterclockwise order. Prove that at least one of $ f(x)$ and $ g(x)$ has degree greater than or equal to $ n\minus{}1.$
