The numbers from $1$ to $2025$ are arranged in some order in the cells of the $1 \times 2025$ strip. Let's call a [i]flip[/i] an operation that takes two arbitrary cells of a strip and swaps the numbers written in them, but only if the larger of these numbers is located to the left of the smaller one. A [i]flop[/i] is a set of several flips that do not contain common cells that are executed simultaneously. (For example, a simultaneous flip between the 2nd and 8th cells and a flip between the 5th and 101st cells.) Prove that there exists a sequence of $66$ flops such that for any initial arrangement, applying this sequence of flops to it will result in the numbers being ordered from left to right in ascending order.

In the movie ”Prison break $4$”. Michael Scofield has to break into The Company. There, he encountered a kind of code to protect Scylla from being taken away. This code require picking out every number in a $2015\times 2015$ grid satisfying:
i) The number right above of this number is $\equiv 1 \mod 2$
ii) The number right on the right of this number is $\equiv 2 \mod 3$
iii) The number right below of this number is $\equiv 3 \mod 4$
iv) The number right on the right of this number is $\equiv 4 \mod 5$ .
How many number does Schofield have to choose?
Also, in a $n\times n$ grid, the numbers from $ 1$ to $n^2$ are arranged in the following way :
On the first row, the numbers are written in an ascending order $1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n$, each cell has one number.
On the second row, the number are written in descending order $2n, 2n -1, 2n- 2, ..., n + 1$.
On the third row, it is ascending order again $2n + 1, 2n + 2, ..., 3n$.
The numbers are written like that until $n$th row.
For example, this is how a $3$ $\times$ $3$ board looks like:[img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/8/7/0a5c8aba6543fd94fd24ae4b9a30ef8a32d3bd.png[/img]

[b]p5.[/b] Long, long ago, far, far away there existed the Old Republic Galaxy with a large number of stars. It was known that for any four stars in the galaxy there existed a point in space such that the distance from that point to any of these four stars was less than or equal to $R$. Master Yoda asked Luke Skywalker the following question: Must there exist a point $P$ in the galaxy such that all stars in the galaxy are within a distance $R$ of the point $P$? Give a justified argument that will help Like answer Master Yoda’s question.
[b]p6.[/b] The Old Republic contained an odd number of inhabited planets. Some pairs of planets were connected to each other by space flights of the Trade Federation, and some pairs of planets were not connected. Every inhabited planet had at least one connections to some other inhabited planet. Luke knew that if two planets had a common connection (they are connected to the same planet), then they have a different number of total connections. Master Yoda asked Luke if there must exist a planet that has exactly two connections. Give a justified argument that will help Luke answer Master Yoda’s question.
