Eight all different sushis are placed evenly on the edge of a round table, whose surface can rotate around the center. Eight people also evenly sit around the table, each with one sushi in front. Each person has one favorite sushi among these eight, and they are all distinct. They find that no matter how they rotate the table, there are never more than three people who have their favorite sushis in front of them simultaneously. By this requirement, how many different possible arrangements of the eight sushis are there? Two arrangements that differ by a rotation are considered the same.

Find the smallest possible value of a real number $c$ such that for any $2012$-degree monic polynomial
\[P(x)=x^{2012}+a_{2011}x^{2011}+\ldots+a_1x+a_0\]

There are $n$ points on a circle, such that each line segment connecting two points is either red or blue.

here is the most difficult and the most beautiful problem occurs in 21th iranian (2003) olympiad
assume that P is n-gon ,lying on the plane ,we name its edge 1,2,..,n.
if S=s1,s2,s3,.... be a finite or infinite sequence such that for each i, si is in {1,2,...,n},
we move P on the plane according to the S in this form: at first we reflect P through the s1
( s1 means the edge which iys number is s1)then through s2 and so on like the figure below.
a)show that there exist the infinite sequence S sucth that if we move P according to S we cover all the plane
b)prove that the sequence in a) isn't periodic.
c)assume that P is regular pentagon ,which the radius of its circumcircle is 1,and D is circle ,with radius 1.00001 ,arbitrarily in the plane .does exist a sequence S such that we move P according to S then P reside in D completely?
