$3k$ points are marked on the circumference. They divide it onto $3k$ arcs. Some $k$ of them have length $1$, other $k$ of them have length $2$, the rest $k$ of them have length $3$. Prove that some two of the marked points are the ends of one diameter.

Consider $n$ lines in the plane in general position, that is, there are not three of the $n$ lines that pass through the same point. Determine if it is possible to label the $k$ points where these lines are inserted with the numbers $1$ through $k$ (using each number exactly once), so that on each line, the labels of the $n-1$ points of that line are arranged in increasing order (in one of the two directions in which they can be traversed).

Given a rectangle $\mathcal{R}$ of area $100000 $, Pancho must completely cover the rectangle $\mathcal{R}$ with a finite number of rectangles with sides parallel to the sides of $\mathcal{R}$ . Next, Martín colors some rectangles of Pancho's cover red so that no two red rectangles have interior points in common. If the red area is greater than $0.00001$, Martin wins. Otherwise, Pancho wins. Prove that Pancho can cover to ensure victory,

Given four colours and enough square plates $1\times 1$. We have to paint four edges of every plate with four different colours and combine plates, putting them with the edges of the same colour together. Describe all the pairs $m,n$, such that we can combine those plates in a $n\times m$ rectangle, that has every edge of one colour, and its four edges have different colours.

A convex $1993$-gon is divided into convex $7$-gons. Prove that there are $3$ neighbouring sides of the $1993$-gon belonging to one such $7$-gon. (A vertex of a $7$-gon may not be positioned on the interior of a side of the $1993$-gon, and two $7$-gons either have no common points, exactly one common vertex or a complete common side.) (A Kanel-Belov)

1983 Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik, 3

There are $k$ points in the interior of a pentagon. Together with the vertices of the pentagon they form a $(k + 5)$-element set $M$. The area of the pentagon is defined by connecting lines between the points of $M$ into sub-areas in such a way that it is divided into sub-areas in such a way that no sub-areas have a point on their interior of $M$ and contains exactly three points of $M$ on the boundary of each part. None of the connecting lines has a point in common with any other connecting line or pentagon side, which does not belong to $M$. With such a decomposition of the pentagon, there can be an even number of connecting lines (including the pentagon sides) go out? The answer has to be justified.

Let $\alpha$ be the smallest of the angles $\angle P_iP_jP_k$ ($i\ne j\ne k\ne i,i,j,k\in\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$).

2014 Online Math Open Problems, 25

Kevin has a set $S$ of $2014$ points scattered on an infinitely large planar gameboard. Because he is bored, he asks Ashley to evaluate \[ x = 4f_4 + 6f_6 + 8f_8 + 10f_{10} + \cdots \] while he evaluates \[ y = 3f_3 + 5f_5+7f_7+9f_9 + \cdots, \] where $f_k$ denotes the number of convex $k$-gons whose vertices lie in $S$ but none of whose interior points lie in $S$. However, since Kevin wishes to one-up everything that Ashley does, he secretly positions the points so that $y-x$ is as large as possible, but in order to avoid suspicion, he makes sure no three points lie on a single line. Find $\left\lvert y-x \right\rvert$. [i]Proposed by Robin Park[/i]

1966 IMO Shortlist, 52

A figure with area $1$ is cut out of paper. We divide this figure into $10$ parts and color them in $10$ different colors. Now, we turn around the piece of paper, divide the same figure on the other side of the paper in $10$ parts again (in some different way). Show that we can color these new parts in the same $10$ colors again (hereby, different parts should have different colors) such that the sum of the areas of all parts of the figure colored with the same color on both sides is $\geq \frac{1}{10}.$

a) On a circumference $8$ points are marked. We say that Juliana does an “T-operation ” if she chooses three of these points and paint the sides of the triangle that they determine, so that each painted triangle has at most one vertex in common with a painted triangle previously. What is the greatest number of “T-operations” that Juliana can do? b) If in part (a), instead of considering $8$ points, $7$ points are considered, what is the greatest number of “T operations” that Juliana can do?
