Consider a rectangular table $2 \times n.$ Let every cell be dyed either by black or white color in a way that no $2\times 2$ square is completely black. Denote $P_n$ the number of such colorings. Prove that the number $P_{1989}$ is divisible by three and find the greatest power of three that divides them.

Let two ants stand on the perimeter of a regular $2019$-gon of unit side length. One of them stands on a vertex and the other one is on the midpoint of the opposite side. They start walking along the perimeter at the same speed counterclockwise. The locus of their midpoints traces out a figure $P$ in the plane with $N$ corners. Let the area enclosed by the convex hull of $P$ be $\tfrac{A}{B}\tfrac{\sin^m\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4038}\right)}{\tan\left(\tfrac{\pi}{2019}\right)}$, where $A$ and $B$ are coprime positive integers, and $m$ is the smallest possible positive integer such that this formula holds. Find $A+B+m+N$. [i]Note:[/i] The [i]convex hull[/i] of a figure $P$ is the convex polygon of smallest area which contains $P$.

The numbers $1, 2, 3, ..., 99, 100$ are randomly arranged in the cells of a square table measuring $10\times 10$ (each number is used only once). Prove that there are three cells in the table whose sum of numbers does not exceed 1$82$. The centers of these cells form an isosceles right triangle, the legs of which are parallel to the edges of the table.

The rook, standing on the surface of the checkered cube, beats the cells, located in the same row as well as on the continuations of this series through one or even several edges. (The picture shows an example for a $4 \times 4 \times 4$ cube,visible cells that some beat the rook, shaded gray.) What is the largest number do not beat each other rooks can be placed on the surface of the cube $50 \times 50 \times 50$?

Let $S$ be a set of 1980 points in the plane such that the distance between every pair of them is at least 1. Prove that $S$ has a subset of 220 points such that the distance between every pair of them is at least $\sqrt{3}.$

Describe a method to convert any triangle into a rectangle with side 1 and area equal to the original triangle by dividing that triangle into finitely many subtriangles.

2018 239 Open Mathematical Olympiad, 8-9.5

An equilateral triangle with side 101 is placed on a plane so that one of its sides is horizontal and the triangle is above it. It is divided into smaller equilateral triangles with side 1 by segments parallel to its sides. All sides of these smaller triangles are colored red (including the entire border of the large triangle). An equilateral triangle on a plane is called a "mirror" triangle if its sides are parallel to the sides of the original triangle, but it lies below its horizontal side. What is the smallest number of contours of mirror triangles needed to cover all the red segments? (Mirror triangles may overlap and extend beyond the original triangle.)

Ukrainian TYM Qualifying - geometry, 2019.17

$n$ points are marked on the board points that are vertices of the regular $n$ -gon. One of the points is a chip. Two players take turns moving it to the other marked point and at the same time draw a segment that connects them. If two points already connected by a segment, such a move is prohibited. A player who can't make a move, lose. Which of the players can guarantee victory?

1966 Czech and Slovak Olympiad III A, 2

Into how many regions do $n$ circles divide the plane, if each pair of circles intersects in two points and no point lies on three circles?

1971 Poland - Second Round, 4

On the plane there is a finite set of points $Z$ with the property that no two distances of the points of the set $Z$ are equal. We connect the points $ A, B $ belonging to $ Z $ if and only if $ A $ is the point closest to $ B $ or $ B $ is the point closest to $ A $. Prove that no point in the set $Z$ will be connected to more than five others.

II Soros Olympiad 1995 - 96 (Russia), 11.5

The space is filled in the usual way with unit cubes. (Each cube is adjacent to $6$ others that have a common face with it.) On three edges of one of the cubes emerging from one vertex, points are marked at a distance of $1/19$, $1/9$ and $1/7$ from it, respectively. A plane is drawn through these points. Let's consider the many different polygons formed when this plane intersects with the cubes filling the space. How many different (unequal) polygons are there in this set?
