2022 Polish Junior Math Olympiad Second Round, 5.

Let $n\geq 3$ be an odd integer. On a line, $n$ points are marked in such a way that the distance between any two of them is an integer. It turns out that each marked point has an even sum of distances to the remaining $n-1$ marked points. Prove that the distance between any two marked points is even.

Carissa is crossing a very, very, very wide street, and did not properly check both ways before doing so. (Don't be like Carissa!) She initially begins walking at $2$ feet per second. Suddenly, she hears a car approaching, and begins running, eventually making it safely to the other side, half a minute after she began crossing. Given that Carissa always runs $n$ times as fast as she walks and that she spent $n$ times as much time running as she did walking, and given that the street is $260$ feet wide, find Carissa's running speed, in feet per second.

Let $B$ and $C$ be two fixed points on a circle centered at $O$ that are not diametrically opposed. Let $A$ be a variable point on the circle distinct from $B$ and $C$ and not belonging to the perpendicular bisector of $BC$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$, and $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the segments $BC$ and $AH$, respectively. The line $AM$ intersects the circle again at $D$, and finally, $NM$ and $OD$ intersect at $P$. Determine the locus of points $P$ as $A$ moves around the circle.

We consider a game on an infinite chessboard similar to that of solitaire: If two adjacent fields are occupied by pawns and the next field is empty (the three fields lie on a vertical or horizontal line), then we may remove these two pawns and put one of them on the third field. Prove that if in the initial position pawns fill a $3k \times n$ rectangle, then it is impossible to reach a position with only one pawn on the board.

Call two regular polygons supplementary if the sum of an internal angle from each polygon adds up to $180^o$. For instance, two squares are supplementary because the sum of the internal angles is $90^o + 90^o = 180^o$. Find the other pair of supplementary polygons. Write your answer in the form $(m, n)$ where m and n are the number of sides of the polygons and $m < n$.

2017 Junior Balkan Team Selection Tests - Moldova, Problem 8

The bottom line of a $2\times 13$ rectangle is filled with $13$ tokens marked with the numbers $1, 2, ..., 13$ and located in that order. An operation is a move of a token from its cell into a free adjacent cell (two cells are called adjacent if they have a common side). What is the minimum number of operations needed to rearrange the chips in reverse order in the bottom line of the rectangle?
