1962 IMO, 3

Consider the cube $ABCDA'B'C'D'$ ($ABCD$ and $A'B'C'D'$ are the upper and lower bases, repsectively, and edges $AA', BB', CC', DD'$ are parallel). The point $X$ moves at a constant speed along the perimeter of the square $ABCD$ in the direction $ABCDA$, and the point $Y$ moves at the same rate along the perimiter of the square $B'C'CB$ in the direction $B'C'CBB'$. Points $X$ and $Y$ begin their motion at the same instant from the starting positions $A$ and $B'$, respectively. Determine and draw the locus of the midpionts of the segments $XY$.

Two ants crawl along the perimeter of a polygonal table, so that the distance between them is always 10 cm. Each side of the table is more than 1 meter long. At the initial moment both ants are on the same side of the table. (a) [i](2 points)[/i] Suppose that the table is a convex polygon. Is it always true that both ants can visit each point on the perimeter? (b) [i](3 points)[/i] Is it always true (this time without assumption of convexity) that each point on the perimeter can be visited by at least one ant?

In a country there are two-way non-stopflights between some pairs of cities. Any city can be reached from any other by a sequence of at most $100$ flights. Moreover, any city can be reached from any other by a sequence of an even number of flights. What is the smallest $d$ for which one can always claim that any city can be reached from any other by a sequence of an even number of flights not exceeding $d$?

A school has three classes. Some pairs of children from different classes are enemies (there are no enemies in a class). It is known that every child from the first class has as many enemies in the second class as in the third; the same is true for other classes.

Write $2017$ following numbers on the blackboard: $-\frac{1008}{1008}, -\frac{1007}{1008}, ..., -\frac{1}{1008}, 0,\frac{1}{1008},\frac{2}{1008}, ... ,\frac{1007}{1008},\frac{1008}{1008}$ . One processes some steps as: erase two arbitrary numbers $x, y$ on the blackboard and then write on it the number $x + 7xy + y$. After $2016$ steps, there is only one number. The last one on the blackboard is (A): $-\frac{1}{1008}$ (B): $0$ (C): $\frac{1}{1008}$ (D): $-\frac{144}{1008}$ (E): None of the above
