Juli has a deck of $54$ cards and proposes the following game to Bruno. Juli places the cards in a row, some face-up and others face-down. Bruno can repeatedly perform the following move: select a card and flip it along with its two neighbors (turning face-up cards face-down, and vice versa for face-down cards). Bruno wins if, through this process, he manages to turn all the cards face up. Otherwise, Juli wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and explain it.
[b]Note:[/b] When Bruno selects the first or the last card in the row, he flips only two cards. In all other cases, he flips three cards.

The five solutions to the equation $$(z-1)(z^2+2z+4)(z^2+4z+6)=0$$ may be written in the form $x_k+y_ki$ for $1\le k\le 5,$ where $x_k$ and $y_k$ are real. Let $\mathcal E$ be the unique ellipse that passes through the points $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3),(x_4,y_4),$ and $(x_5,y_5)$. The eccentricity of $\mathcal E$ can be written in the form $\sqrt{\frac mn}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$? (Recall that the [i]eccentricity[/i] of an ellipse $\mathcal E$ is the ratio $\frac ca$, where $2a$ is the length of the major axis of $E$ and $2c$ is the is the distence between its two foci.)

A row of $1000$ numbers is written on the blackboard. We write a new row, below the first according to the rule:
We write under every number $a$ the natural number, indicating how many times the number $a$ is encountered in the first line. Then we write down the third line: under every number $b$ -- the natural number, indicating how many times the number $b$ is encountered in the second line, and so on.
a) Prove that there is a line that coincides with the preceding one.
b) Prove that the eleventh line coincides with the twelfth.
c) Give an example of the initial line such, that the tenth row differs from the eleventh.

Patrick and Anderson are having a snowball fight. Patrick throws a snowball at Anderson which is shaped like a sphere with a radius of $10$ centimeters. Anderson catches the snowball and uses the snow from the snowball to construct snowballs with radii of $4$ centimeters. Given that the total volume of the snowballs that Anderson constructs cannot exceed the volume of the snowball that Patrick threw, how many snowballs can Anderson construct?

Henry invited $2N$ guests to his birthday party. He has $N$ white hats and $N$ black hats. He wants to place hats on his guests and split his guests into one or several dancing circles so that in each circle there would be at least two people and the colors of hats of any two neighbours would be different. Prove that Henry can do this in exactly $(2N)!$ different ways. (All the hats with the same color are identical, all the guests are obviously distinct, $(2N)! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot . . . \cdot (2N)$.)
