Given a positive integer $n$, determine the maximal constant $C_n$ satisfying the following condition: for any partition of the set $\{1,2,\ldots,2n \}$ into two $n$-element subsets $A$ and $B$, there exist labellings $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n$ and $b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n$ of $A$ and $B$, respectively, such that
$$
(a_1-b_1)^2+(a_2-b_2)^2+\ldots+(a_n-b_n)^2\ge C_n.

Let $x_1\leq x_2\leq \cdots\leq x_{100}$ be real numbers such that $|x_1| + |x_2| + \cdots + |x_{100}| = 1$ and $x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_{100} = 0$. Among all such $100$-tuples of numbers, the greatest value that $x_{76} - x_{16}$ can achieve is $\tfrac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Two six-sided dice are fair in the sense that each face is equally likely to turn up. However, one of the dice has the $ 4$ replaced by $ 3$ and the other die has the $ 3$ replaced by $ 4$. When these dice are rolled, what is the probability that the sum is an odd number?

Let $n$ be an integer greater than $1$, and let $p$ be a prime divisor of $n$. A confederation consists of $p$ states, each of which has exactly $n$ airports. There are $p$ air companies operating interstate flights only such that every two airports in different states are joined by a direct (two-way) flight operated by one of these companies. Determine the maximal integer $N$ satisfying the following condition: In every such confederation it is possible to choose one of the $p$ air companies and $N$ of the $np$ airports such that one may travel (not necessarily directly) from any one of the $N$ chosen airports to any other such only by flights operated by the chosen air company.

Define a sequence $a_{m,n}$ where $a_{m,0}=1,$ and for all other $m,n$ (assuming $m \ge 1$): $$a_{m,n}=\begin{cases}

The vertices of a regular $n + 1$-gon are denoted by $P_0,P_1,...,P_n$ in some order ($n \ge 2$). Each side of the polygon is assigned a natural number as follows: if the endpoints of the side are $P_i$ and $P_j$, then the assigned number equals $|i - j |$. Let S be the sum of all $n + 1$ assigned numbers.
(a) Given $n$, what is the smallest possible value of $S$?
(b) If $P_0$ is fixed, how many different assignments are there for which $S$ attains the smallest value?
