Charles is playing a variant of Sudoku. To each lattice point $(x, y)$ where $1\le x,y <100$, he assigns an integer between $1$ and $100$ inclusive. These integers satisfy the property that in any row where $y=k$, the $99$ values are distinct and never equal to $k$; similarly for any column where $x=k$. Now, Charles randomly selects one of his lattice points with probability proportional to the integer value he assigned to it. Compute the expected value of $x+y$ for the chosen point $(x, y)$.

All edges of a polyhedron are painted with red or yellow. For an angle of a facet, if the edges determining it are of different colors, then the angle is called [i]excentric[/i]. The[i] excentricity [/i]of a vertex $A$, namely $S_A$, is defined as the number of excentric angles it has. Prove that there exist two vertices $B$ and $C$ such that $S_B + S_C \leq 4$.

Give and Take divide $100$ coins between themselves as follows. In each step, Give chooses a handful of coins from the heap, and Take decides who gets this handful. This is repeated until all coins have been taken, or one of them has $9$ handfuls. In the latter case, the other gets all the remaining coins. What is the largest number of coins that Give can be sure of getting no matter what Take does? (A Shapovalov)

Ahmet and Betül play a game on $ n\times n$ $ \left(n\ge 7\right)$ board. Ahmet places his only piece on one of the $ n^{2}$ squares. Then Betül places her two pieces on two of the squares at the border of the board. If two squares have a common edge, we call them adjacent squares. When it is Ahmet's turn, Ahmet moves his piece either to one of the empty adjacent squares or to the out of the board if it is on one of the squares at the border of the board. When it is Betül's turn, she moves all her two pieces to the adjacent squares. If Ahmet's piece is already on one of the two squares that Betül has just moved to, Betül attacks to his piece and wins the game. If Ahmet manages to go out of the board, he wins the game. If Ahmet begins to move, he guarantees to win the game putting his piece on one of the $\dots$ squares at the beginning of the game. $\textbf{(A)}\ 0 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ n^{2} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \left(n\minus{}2\right)^{2} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4\left(n\minus{}1\right) \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2n\minus{}1$
