Mattis is hosting a badminton tournament for $40$ players on $20$ courts numbered from $1$ to $20$. The players are distributed with $2$ players on each court. In each round a winner is determined on each court. Afterwards, the player who lost on court $1$, and the player who won on court $20$ stay in place. For the remaining $38$ players, the winner on court $i$ moves to court $i + 1$ and the loser moves to court $i - 1$. The tournament continues until every player has played every other player at least once. What is the minimal number of rounds the tournament can last?

Duarte wants to draw a square whose side's length is $2009$ cm and which is divided in $2009\times2009$ squares whose side's length is $1$ cm and whose sides are parallel to the original square's one, without taking the pencil out of the paper. Starting on one of the vertex of the giant square, what is the length of the shortest line that allows him to make this drawing?

We are given an infinite deck of cards, each with a real number on it. For every real number $x$, there is exactly one card in the deck that has $x$ written on it. Now two players draw disjoint sets $A$ and $B$ of $100$ cards each from this deck. We would like to define a rule that declares one of them a winner. This rule should satisfy the following conditions:
1. The winner only depends on the relative order of the $200$ cards: if the cards are laid down in increasing order face down and we are told which card belongs to which player, but not what numbers are written on them, we can still decide the winner.
2. If we write the elements of both sets in increasing order as $A =\{ a_1 , a_2 , \ldots, a_{100} \}$ and $B= \{ b_1 , b_2 , \ldots , b_{100} \}$, and $a_i > b_i$ for all $i$, then $A$ beats $B$.
3. If three players draw three disjoint sets $A, B, C$ from the deck, $A$ beats $B$ and $B$ beats $C$ then $A$ also beats $C$.
How many ways are there to define such a rule? Here, we consider two rules as different if there exist two sets $A$ and $B$ such that $A$ beats $B$ according to one rule, but $B$ beats $A$ according to the other.

A street on Stanford can be modeled by a number line. Four Stanford students, located at positions $1$, $9$, $25$ and $49$ along the line, want to take an UberXL to Berkeley, but are not sure where to meet the driver. Find the smallest possible total distance walked by the students to a single position on the street. (For example, if they were to meet at position $46$, then the total distance walked by the students would be $45 + 37 + 21 + 3 = 106$, where the distances walked by the students at positions $1$, $9$, $25$ and $49$ are summed in that order.)
