Given a polyhedron $P$. Mikita claims that he can write one integer on each face of $P$ such that not all the written numbers are zeros, and for each vertex $V$ of $P$ the sum of numbers on faces containing $V$ is equals to 0. Matvei claims that he can write one integer in each vertex of $P$ such that not all the written numbers are zeros, and for each face $F$ of $P$ the sum of numbers in vertices belonging to $F$ is equals to 0. Show that if the number of edges of polyhedron $P$ is odd, then at least one of the boys is right.

A regular $17$-gon with vertices $V_1, V_2, . . . , V_{17}$ and sides of length $3$ has a point $ P$ on $V_1V_2$ such that $V_1P = 1$.

The chord then hinges around $V_3$, then $V_4$, and so on, continuing until $ P$ is back at its original position. Find the total length traced by $ P$.

An interstellar hotel has $100$ rooms with capacities $101,102,\ldots, 200$ people. These rooms are occupied by $n$ people in total. Now a VIP guest is about to arrive and the owner wants to provide him with a personal room. On that purpose, the owner wants to choose two rooms $A$ and $B$ and move all guests from $A$ to $B$ without exceeding its capacity. Determine the largest $n$ for which the owner can be sure that he can achieve his goal no matter what the initial distribution of the guests is.
