A society has to elect a board of governors. Each member of the society has chosen $10$ candidates for the board, but he will be happy if at least one of them will be on the board. For each six members of the society there exists a board consisting of two persons making all of these six members happy. Prove that a board consisting of $10$ persons can be elected making every member of the society happy.

On the legs, in the exterior of the triangle, equilateral triangles $BAP$ and $ACQ$ are constructed. If $N$ is the intersection point of the lines $AM$ and $PQ$, prove that the angles $\angle NHP$ and $\angle AHQ$ are equal. Miguel Ochoa Sanchez and Leonard Giugiuc

A man with mass $m$ jumps off of a high bridge with a bungee cord attached to his ankles. The man falls through a maximum distance $H$ at which point the bungee cord brings him to a momentary rest before he bounces back up. The bungee cord is perfectly elastic, obeying Hooke's force law with a spring constant $k$, and stretches from an original length of $L_0$ to a final length $L = L_0 + h$. The maximum tension in the Bungee cord is four times the weight of the man. Find the maximum extension of the bungee cord $h$. $\textbf{(A) } h = \frac{1}{2}H \\ \\ \textbf{(B) } h = \frac{1}{4}H\\ \\ \textbf{(C) } h = \frac{1}{5}H\\ \\ \textbf{(D) } h = \frac{2}{5}H\\ \\ \textbf{(E) } h = \frac{1}{8}H$
