In a chess tournament $ 2n\plus{}3$ players take part. Every two play exactly one match. The schedule is such that no two matches are played at the same time, and each player, after taking part in a match, is free in at least $ n$ next (consecutive) matches. Prove that one of the players who play in the opening match will also play in the closing match.

Consider $n \ge 2$ pairwise disjoint disks $D_1,D_2,\ldots,D_n$ on the Euclidean plane. For each $k=1,2,\ldots,n$, denote by $f_k$ the inversion with respect to the boundary circle of $D_k$. (Here, $f_k$ is defined at every point of the plane, except for the center of $D_k$.) How many fixed points can the transformation $f_n\circ f_{n-1}\circ\ldots\circ f_1$ have, if it is defined on the largest possible subset of the plane?

Four frogs sit on the vertices of a square, one on each vertex. They jump in arbitrary order but not simultaneously. Each frog jumps to the point symmetrical to its take-off position with respect to the centre of gravity of the three other frogs. Can one of them jump (at a given time) exactly on to one of the others (considering their locations as points)? (A Andzans)

Let $n \geqslant 3$ be integer. Given convex $n-$polygon $\mathcal{P}$. A $3-$coloring of the vertices of $\mathcal{P}$ is called [i]nice[/i] such that every interior point of $\mathcal{P}$ is inside or on the bound of a triangle formed by polygon vertices with pairwise distinct colors. Determine the number of different nice colorings. ([I]Two colorings are different as long as they differ at some vertices. [/i])

An ant crawls along the edges of a cube turning only at its vertices. It has visited one of the vertices $25$ times. Is it possible that it has visited each of the other $7$ vertices exactly $20$ times? (S Tokarev)

2012 Lusophon Mathematical Olympiad, 4

An ant decides to walk on the perimeter of an $ABC$ triangle. The ant can start at any vertex. Whenever the ant is in a vertex, it chooses one of the adjacent vertices and walks directly (in a straight line) to the chosen vertex. a) In how many ways can the ant walk around each vertex exactly twice? b) In how many ways can the ant walk around each vertex exactly three times? Note: For each item, consider that the starting vertex is visited.

1981 Tournament Of Towns, (014) 5

On an infinite “squared” sheet six squares are shaded as in the diagram. On some squares there are pieces. It is possible to transform the positions of the pieces according to the following rule: if the neighbour squares to the right and above a given piece are free, it is possible to remove this piece and put pieces on these free squares. The goal is to have all the shaded squares free of pieces. Is it possible to reach this goal if (a) In the initial position there are $6$ pieces and they are placed on the $6$ shaded squares? (b) In the initial position there is only one piece, located in the bottom left shaded square?
