Given $10$ points on a plane such that no three are collinear, we connect each pair of points with a segment and color each segment either red or blue. Assume that there exists some point $A$ among the $10$ points such that:
1. There is an odd number of red segments connected to $A$}
2. The number of red segments connected to each of the other points are all different
Find the number of red triangles (i.e, a triangle whose three sides are all red segments) on the plane.

[b]p4.[/b] At the Lio Orympics, a target in archery consists of ten concentric circles. The radii of the circles are $1$, $2$, $3$, $...$, $9$, and $10$ respectively. Hitting the innermost circle scores the archer $10$ points, the next ring is worth $9$ points, the next ring is worth 8 points, all the way to the outermost ring, which is worth $1$ point. If a beginner archer has an equal probability of hitting any point on the target and never misses the target, what is the probability that his total score after making two shots is even?

[b]p10.[/b] Nicky likes dolls. He has $10$ toy chairs in a row, and he wants to put some indistinguishable dolls on some of these chairs. (A chair can hold only one doll.) He doesn't want his dolls to get lonely, so he wants each doll sitting on a chair to be adjacent to at least one other doll. How many ways are there for him to put any number (possibly none) of dolls on the chairs? Two ways are considered distinct if and only if there is a chair that has a doll in one way but does not have one in the other.

A magician and his assistant perform in front of an audience of many people.
On the stage there is an $8$×$8$ board, the magician blindfolds himself, and then the assistant goes inviting people from the public to write down the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , 64$ in the boxes they want (one number per box) until completing the $64$ numbers. After the assistant covers two adyacent boxes, at her choice. Finally, the magician removes his blindfold and has to $“guess”$ what number is in each square that the assistant. Explain how they put together this trick.

$$S_r(p^{\alpha}) = \begin{cases} 0\,\, if \,\, if \,\, p \le r \\ p^{{\alpha}-1}(p -r) \,\, if \,\,p > r \end{cases}$$
for all primes $p$ and positive integers ${\alpha}$, and that $S_r(ab) = S_r(a)Sr_(b)$ whenever $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime.
Now, suppose there are $n$ squirrels at a party. Each squirrel is labeled with a unique number from the set $\{1, 2,..., n\}$. Two squirrels are friends with each other if and only if the difference between their labels is relatively prime to $n$. For example, if $n = 10$, then the squirrels with labels $3$ and $10$ are friends with each other because $10 - 3 = 7$, and $7$ is relatively prime to $10$.
Fix a positive integer $m$. Define a clique of size $m$ to be any set of m squirrels at the party with the property that any two squirrels in the clique are friends with each other. Determine, with proof, a formula (using $S_r$) for the number of cliques of size $m$ at the squirrel party.
