1991 China Team Selection Test, 3

$5$ points are given in the plane, any three non-collinear and any four non-concyclic. If three points determine a circle that has one of the remaining points inside it and the other one outside it, then the circle is said to be [i]good[/i]. Let the number of good circles be $n$; find all possible values of $n$.

Consider the set of all integer points in $Z^3$. Sasha and Masha play such a game. At first, Masha marks an arbitrary point. After that, Sasha marks all the points on some a plane perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes and at no point, which Masha noted. Next, they continue to take turns (Masha can't to select previously marked points, Sasha cannot choose the planes on which there are points said Masha). Masha wants to mark $n$ consecutive points on some line that parallel to one of the coordinate axes, and Sasha seeks to interfere with it. Find all $n$, in which Masha can achieve the desired result.

2015 Romanian Master of Mathematics, 2

For an integer $n \geq 5,$ two players play the following game on a regular $n$-gon. Initially, three consecutive vertices are chosen, and one counter is placed on each. A move consists of one player sliding one counter along any number of edges to another vertex of the $n$-gon without jumping over another counter. A move is legal if the area of the triangle formed by the counters is strictly greater after the move than before. The players take turns to make legal moves, and if a player cannot make a legal move, that player loses. For which values of $n$ does the player making the first move have a winning strategy?

Each square of a chessboard is painted either blue or red . Prove that the squares of one colour possess the property that the chess queen can perform a tour of all of them. The rules are that the queen may visit the squares of this colour not necessarily only once each , and may not be placed on squares of the other colour, although she may pass over them ; the queen moves along any horizontal , vertical or diagonal file over any distance.

There is a token in one of the nodes of a hexagon with side $n$, divided into regular triangles (see figure). Two players take turns moving it to one of the neighboring nodes, and it is forbidden to go to a node that the token has already visited. The one who loses who can't make a move.

Each point in the plane with integer coordinates is colored red or blue such that the following two properties hold.

Prove that if three red points are the vertices of a triangle, then the interior of the triangle does not contain any blue points.
