2010 Tournament Of Towns, 7

Merlin summons the $n$ knights of Camelot for a conference. Each day, he assigns them to the $n$ seats at the Round Table. From the second day on, any two neighbours may interchange their seats if they were not neighbours on the first day. The knights try to sit in some cyclic order which has already occurred before on an earlier day. If they succeed, then the conference comes to an end when the day is over. What is the maximum number of days for which Merlin can guarantee that the conference will last?

2020 Saint Petersburg Mathematical Olympiad, 7

$N$ oligarchs built a country with $N$ cities with each one of them owning one city. In addition, each oligarch built some roads such that the maximal amount of roads an oligarch can build between two cities is $1$ (note that there can be more than $1$ road going through two cities, but they would belong to different oligarchs). A total of $d$ roads were built. Some oligarchs wanted to create a corporation by combining their cities and roads so that from any city of the corporation you can go to any city of the corporation using only corporation roads (roads can go to other cities outside corporation) but it turned out that no group of less than $N$ oligarchs can create a corporation. What is the maximal amount that $d$ can have?

Monty wants to play a game with you. He shows you five boxes, one of which contains a prize and four of which contain nothing. He allows you to choose one box but not to open it. He then opens one of the other four boxes that he knows to contain nothing. Then, he makes you switch and choose a different, unopened box. However, Monty sketchily reveals the contents of another (empty) box, selected uniformly at random from the two or three closed boxes (that you do not currently have chosen) that he knows to contain no prize. He then offers you the chance to switch again. Assuming you seek to maximize your return, determine the probability you get a prize.

$ A$ is a set of points on the plane, $ L$ is a line on the same plane. If $ L$ passes through one of the points in $ A$, then we call that $ L$ passes through $ A$. (1) Prove that we can divide all the rational points into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements. If for any line on the plane, there are two rational points on it, then it passes through all the $ 100$ sets. (2) Find the biggest integer $ r$, so that if we divide all the rational points on the plane into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements with any method, then there is at least one line that passes through $ r$ sets of the $ 100$ point sets.

A square matrix is sum-magic if the sum of all elements in each row, column and major diagonal is constant. Similarly, a square matrix is product-magic if the product of all elements in each row, column and major diagonal is constant. Determine if there exist $3\times 3$ matrices of real numbers which are both sum-magic and product-magic.

An (unordered) partition $P$ of a positive integer $n$ is an $n$-tuple of nonnegative integers $P=(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)$ such that $\sum_{k=1}^n kx_k=n$. For positive integer $m\leq n$, and a partition $Q=(y_1,y_2,\cdots,y_m)$ of $m$, $Q$ is called compatible to $P$ if $y_i\leq x_i$ for $i=1,2,\cdots,m$. Let $S(n)$ be the number of partitions $P$ of $n$ such that for each odd $m<n$, $m$ has exactly one partition compatible to $P$ and for each even $m<n$, $m$ has exactly two partitions compatible to $P$. Find $S(2010)$.

Initially, Igna distributes $1000$ balls into $30$ boxes. Then, Igna and Mica alternate turns, starting with Igna. Each player, on their turn, chooses a box and removes one ball. When a player removes the last ball from a box, they earn a coin. Find the maximum integer $k$ such that, regardless of how Mica plays, Igna can earn at least $k$ coins.

Given an integer $n\geq 2,$ colour red exactly $n$ cells of an infinite sheet of grid paper. A rectangular grid array is called special if it contains at least two red opposite corner cells; single red cells and 1-row or 1-column grid arrays whose end-cells are both red are special. Given a configuration of exactly $n$ red cells, let $N$ be the largest number of red cells a special rectangular grid array may contain. Determine the least value $N$ may take over all possible configurations of exactly $n$ red cells

We consider a game on an infinite chessboard similar to that of solitaire: If two adjacent fields are occupied by pawns and the next field is empty (the three fields lie on a vertical or horizontal line), then we may remove these two pawns and put one of them on the third field. Prove that if in the initial position pawns fill a $3k \times n$ rectangle, then it is impossible to reach a position with only one pawn on the board.

2022 Rioplatense Mathematical Olympiad, 2

Eight teams play a rugby tournament in which each team plays exactly one match against each of the remaining seven teams. In each match, if it's a tie each team gets $1$ point and if it isn't a tie then the winner gets $2$ points and the loser gets $0$ points. After the tournament it was observed that each of the eight teams had a different number of points and that the number of points of the winner of the tournament was equal to the sum of the number of points of the last four teams. Give an example of a tournament that satisfies this conditions, indicating the number of points obtained by each team and the result of each match.
