Arne and Bertil play a game on an $11 \times 11$ grid. Arne starts. He has a game piece that is placed on the center od the grid at the beginning of the game. At each move he moves the piece one step horizontally or vertically. Bertil places a wall along each move any of an optional four squares. Arne is not allowed to move his piece through a wall. Arne wins if he manages to move the pice out of the board, while Bertil wins if he manages to prevent Arne from doing that. Who wins if from the beginning there are no walls on the game board and both players play optimally?

Bob and Cob are playing a game on an infinite grid of hexagons. On Bob's turn, he chooses one hexagon that has not yet been chosen, and draws a segment from the center of the hexagon to the midpoints of three of its sides. On Cob's turn, he erases one of Bob's edges made on the previous turn. Bob wins if his edges form a closed loop. Can Bob guarantee to win in a finite amount of time? (Note that Bob may win before Cob can play his next turn.)

Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$. Consider a variable point $P$ on the extension of the segment $BC$ beyound $B$ (in other words, $P$ lies on the line $BC$ such that the point $B$ lies inside the segment $PC$). Let $r_{1}$ be the radius of the incircle of the triangle $APB$, and let $r_{2}$ be the radius of the $P$-excircle of the triangle $APC$. Prove that the sum $r_{1}+r_{2}$ of these two radii remains constant when the point $P$ varies.
[i]Remark.[/i] The $P$-excircle of the triangle $APC$ is defined as the circle which touches the side $AC$ and the [i]extensions[/i] of the sides $AP$ and $CP$.

Let $m,n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1}$ and a rectangular board $m\times n$ sliced by parallel lines to the rectangle's sides into $mn$ unit squares. At moment $t=0$, there is an ant inside every square, positioned exactly in its centre, such that it is oriented towards one of the rectangle's sides. Every second, all the ants move exactly a unit following their current orientation; however, if two ants meet at the centre of a unit square, both of them turn $180^o$ around (the turn happens instantly, without any loss of time) and the next second they continue their motion following their new orientation. If two ants meet at the midpoint of a side of a unit square, they just continue moving, without changing their orientation.\\ \\
Prove that, after finitely many seconds, some ant must fall off the table.\\ \\

The cities of countries $A$ and $B$ are marked on the map, which has the form of a square with vertices at points $(0, 0)$ , $ (0, 1)$ , $(1, 1)$ , $(1, 0)$ of the plane. According to the trade agreement, country $A$ must ensure the delivery of $n$ kg of wheat to $n$ cities of country $B$, located at the points of the square with coordinates $y_1,..., y_n$, $1$ kg each city. Currently, $n$ kg of wheat are distributed among $n$ cities of country $A$, located at the points of the square with coordinates $x_1,... , x_n$, $1$ kg in each city. From each city of country $A$ to each city of the country $A$ any amount of wheat can be transported (of course, not more than $1$ kg). Transportation cost is for $t$ kg of wheat from a city with coordinates $x_i$ to a city with coordinates $y_j$ is equal to $tl_{ij}$, where $l_{ij }$is the length of the segment connecting the points $x_i$ and $y_j$. The government of country A is going to implement the optimal one (i,e. the cheapest) transportation plan.
(a) Is it possible to implement the optimal transportation plan so that from each city of country $A$ to transport wheat only to one city of country $B$?
(b) Will the response change if country $A$ is to deliver $n+1$ kg of wheat, in city $x_1$ is $2$ kg of wheat, and $2$ kg should be delivered to city $y_1$ (when for other cities the conditions remain the same)?

An $n$-stick is a connected figure consisting of $n$ matches of length $1$ which are placed horizontally or vertically and no two touch each other at points other than their ends. Two shapes that can be transformed into each other by moving, rotating or flipping are considered the same.
An $n$-mino is a shape which is built by connecting $n$ squares of side length 1 on their sides such that there's a path on the squares between each two squares of the $n$-mino.
Let $S_n$ be the number of $n$-sticks and $M_n$ the number of $n$-minos, e.g. $S_3=5$ And $M_3=2$.
(a) Prove that for any natural $n$, $S_n \geq M_{n+1}$.
(b) Prove that for large enough $n$ we have $(2.4)^n \leq S_n \leq (16)^n$.
A [b]grid segment[/b] is a segment on the plane of length 1 which it's both ends are integer points. A polystick is called [b]wise[/b] if using it and it's rotations or flips we can cover all grid segments without overlapping, otherwise it's called [b]unwise[/b].
(c) Prove that there are at least $2^{n-6}$ different unwise $n$-sticks.
(d) Prove that any polystick which is in form of a path only going up and right is wise.
(e) Extra points: Prove that for large enough $n$ we have $3^n \leq S_n \leq 12^n$
