From an arbitrary point $O$ inside a convex $n$-gon, perpendiculars are drawn on (extensions of the) sides of the $n$-gon. Along each perpendicular a vector is constructed, starting from $O$, directed towards the side onto which the perpendicular is drawn, and of length equal to half the length of the corresponding side. Find the sum of these vectors.

A checkered polygon $A$ is drawn on the checkered plane. We call a cell of $A$ [i]internal[/i] if all $8$ of its adjacent cells belong to $A$. All other (non-internal) cells of $A$ we call [i]boundary[/i]. It is known that $1)$ each boundary cell has exactly two common sides with no boundary cells; and 2) the union of all boundary cells can be divided into isosceles trapezoid of area $2$ with vertices at the grid nodes (and acute angles of the trapezoids are equal $45^\circ$). Prove that the area of the polygon $A$ is congruent to $1$ modulo $4$.

Let $\Gamma_1$ be a circle with centre $A$ and $\Gamma_2$ be a circle with centre $B$, with $A$ lying on $\Gamma_2$. On $\Gamma_2$ there is a (variable) point $P$ not lying on $AB$. A line through $P$ is a tangent of $\Gamma_1$ at $S$, and it intersects $\Gamma_2$ again in $Q$, with $P$ and $Q$ lying on the same side of $AB$. A different line through $Q$ is tangent to $\Gamma_1$ at $T$. Moreover, let $M$ be the foot of the perpendicular to $AB$ through $P$. Let $N$ be the intersection of $AQ$ and $MT$. Show that $N$ lies on a line independent of the position of $P$ on $\Gamma_2$.

You wish to color every vertex, edge, face, and the interior of a cube one color each such that no two adjacent objects are the same color. Faces are adjacent if they share an edge. Edges are adjacent if they share a vertex. The interior is adjacent to all of its faces, edges, and vertices. Each face is adjacent to all of its edges and vertices. Each edge is adjacent to both of its vertices. What is the minimum number of colors required to do this?
