Let $ABCDEF$ be a convex hexagon of area $1$, whose opposite sides are parallel. The lines $AB$, $CD$ and $EF$ meet in pairs to determine the vertices of a triangle. Similarly, the lines $BC$, $DE$ and $FA$ meet in pairs to determine the vertices of another triangle. Show that the area of at least one of these two triangles is at least $3/2$.

Every cell of table $4 \times 4$ is colored into white. It is permitted to place the cross (pictured below) on the table such that its center lies on the table (the whole fi gure does not need to lie on the table) and change colors of every cell which is covered into opposite (white and black). Find all $n$ such that after $n$ steps it is possible to get the table with every cell colored black.

Let $n$ a positive integer, $n > 1$. The number $n$ is wonderful if the number is divisible by sum of the your prime factors. For example; $90$ is wondeful, because $90 = 2 \times 3^2\times 5$ and $2 + 3 + 5 = 10, 10$ divides $90$. Show that, exist a number "wonderful" with at least $10^{2002}$ distinct prime numbers.

Let $D\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ be a compact set with at least two elements and consider the space $\Omega=\bigtimes_{i=1}^{\infty} D$ with the product topology. For any sequence $(d_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} \in \Omega$ let $f_{(d_n)}(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}d_nz^n$, and for each point $\zeta \in \mathbb{C}$ with $|\zeta|=1$ we define $S=S(\zeta,(d_n))$ to be the set of complex numbers $w$ for which there exists a sequence $(z_k)$ such that $|z_k|<1$, $z_k \to \zeta$, and $f_{d_n}(z_k) \to w$. Prove that on a residual set of $\Omega$, the set $S$ does not depend on the choice of $\zeta$.

The expression $1\oplus2\oplus3\oplus4\oplus5\oplus6\oplus7\oplus8\oplus9$ is written on a blackboard. Bill and Peter play the following game. They replace $\oplus$ by $+$ or $\cdot$, making their moves in turn, and one of them can use only $+$, while the other one can use only $\cdot$. At the beginning, Bill selects the sign he will use, and he tries to make the result an even number. Peter tries to make the result an odd number. Prove that Peter can always win.

Sam writes three $3$-digit positive integers (that don't end in $0$) on the board and adds them together. Jessica reverses each of the integers, and adds the reversals together. (For example, $\overline{XYZ}$ becomes $\overline{ZYX}$.) What is the smallest possible positive three-digit difference between Sam's sum and Jessica's sum?
