To prepare a stay abroad, students meet at a workshop including an excursion. To promote interaction between the students, they are to be distributed to two busses such that not too many of the students in the same bus know each other.
Every student knows all those who know her. The number of such pairwise acquaintances is $k$.
Prove that it is possible to distribute the students such that the number of pairwise acquaintances in each bus is at most $\frac{k}{3}$.

There are $36$ participants at a BdMO event. Some of the participants shook hands with each other. But no two participants shook hands with each other more than once. Each participant recorded the number of handshakes they made. It was found that no two participants with the same number of handshakes made, had shaken hands with each other. Find the maximum possible number of handshakes at the party with proof. (When two participants shake hands with each other, this will be counted as one handshake.)

Maria and Luis play the following game: Maria throws three dice and Luis can select some of them (possibly none) and turn them changing their value for the value in the opposite face of each selected die. Prove that Luis can always play in such a way that the sum of the upper faces of the dice after the change is a multiple of $4$.
Note: The game is played with normal dice, that is, the sum of opposite faces is $7$.

$n \geq 5$ football teams participate in a round-robin tournament. For every game played, the winner receives 3 points, the loser receives 0 points, and in the event of a draw, both teams receive 1 point. The third-from-bottom team has fewer points than all the teams ranked before it, and more points than the last 2 teams; it won more games than all the teams before it, but fewer games than the 2 teams behind it. Find the smallest possible $n$.

In a hat are $1992$ notes with all numbers from $1$ to $1992$. At random way, two bills are drawn simultaneously from the hat; the difference between the numbers on the two notes are written on a new note, which is placed in the hat, while the two drawn notes thrown away. It continues in this way until there is only one note left in it the hat. Show that there is an even number on this slip of paper.

You wish to color every vertex, edge, face, and the interior of a cube one color each such that no two adjacent objects are the same color. Faces are adjacent if they share an edge. Edges are adjacent if they share a vertex. The interior is adjacent to all of its faces, edges, and vertices. Each face is adjacent to all of its edges and vertices. Each edge is adjacent to both of its vertices. What is the minimum number of colors required to do this?

p4. Find the smallest natural number $n$ such that the sum of the measures of the angles of the $n$-gon, with $n > 6$ is less than $n^2$ degrees.
p5. There are a few magic cards. By stating on which card a number is there, without looking at the card at all, someone can precisely guess the number. If the number is on Card $A$ and $B$, then the number in question is $1 + 2$ (sum of corner number top left) cards $A$ and $B$. If the numbers are in $A$, $B$, and $C$, the number what is meant is $1 + 2 + 4$ or equal to $7$ (which is obtained by adding the numbers in the upper left corner of each card $A$,$B$, and $C$).

[hide=original wording for p5, as the wording isn't that clear]Ada suatu kartu ajaib. Dengan menyebutkan di kartu yang mana suatu bilan gan berada, tanpa melihat kartu sama sekali, seseorang dengan tepat bisa menebak bilangan yang dimaksud. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada pada Kartu A dan B, maka bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 (jumlah bilangan pojok kiri atas) kartu A dan B. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada di A, B, dan C, bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 + 4 atau sama dengan 7 (yang diperoleh dengan menambahkan bilangan-bilangan di pojok kiri atas masing-masing kartu A, B, dan C)
