Ten points are marked in the plane so that no three of them lie on the same straight line. All points are connected with segments.Each of these segments is painted one of the $k$ colors. For what positive integer $k$ ($1 \le k \le 5$) is it possible to paint the segments so that for any $k$ of the given $10$ points there are $k$ segments with the ends at these $k$ points, all of these segments being painted $k$ different colors ?

Among the $5$-sided polygons, as many vertices as possible collinear , that is, belonging to a single line, is three, as shown below. What is the largest number of collinear vertices a $12$-sided polygon can have?

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?

For each natural number $ n \geq 3 $, determine the lower limit and the upper limit of the set of numbers $ f(W) $ when $ W $ runs through the set of all $ n $ convex angles with area 1.

Let $n$ be a natural number. Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two sets, each containing $n$ points in the plane, such that no three points of a set are collinear. Let $T(A)$ be the number of broken lines, each containing $n-1$ segments, and such that it doesn't intersect itself and its vertices are points of $A$. Define $T(B)$ similarly. If the points of $B$ are vertices of a convex $n$-gon (are in [i]convex position[/i]), but the points of $A$ are not, prove that $T(B)<T(A)$. [i]Proposed by Ali Khezeli[/i]

On each side of a triangle, $5$ points are chosen (other than the vertices of the triangle) and these $15$ points are colored red. How many ways are there to choose four red points such that they form the vertices of a quadrilateral?

Russian TST 2016, P1

$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.

2022 Durer Math Competition (First Round), 1

Dorothy organized a party for the birthday of Duck Mom and she also prepared a cylindershaped cake. Since she was originally expecting to have $15$ guests, she divided the top of the cake into this many equal circular sectors, marking where the cuts need to be made. Just for fun Dorothy’s brother Donald split the top of the cake into $10$ equal circular sectors in such a way that some of the radii that he marked coincided with Dorothy’s original markings. Just before the arrival of the guests Douglas cut the cake according to all markings, and then he placed the cake into the fridge. This way they forgot about the cake and only got to eating it when only $6$ of them remained. Is it possible for them to divide the cake into $6$ equal parts without making any further cuts?

A crate with a base of $4 \times 2$ and a height of $2$ is open at the top. Tomas wants to completely fill the crate with some of his cubes. It has $16$ equal cubes of volume $1$ and two equal cubes of volume $8$. A cube of volume $1$ can only be placed on the top layer if the cube on the bottom layer has already been placed. In how many ways can Tom'as fill the box with cubes, placing them one by one?
