Let us divide by straight lines a quadrangle of unit area into $ n$ subpolygons and draw a circle into each subpolygon. Show that the sum of the perimeters of the circles is at most $ \pi \sqrt{n}$ (the lines are not allowed to cut the interior of a subpolygon). [i]G. and L. Fejes-Toth[/i]

I'd really appreciate help on this. (a) Given a set $X$ of points in the plane, let $f_{X}(n)$ be the largest possible area of a polygon with at most $n$ vertices, all of which are points of $X$. Prove that if $m, n$ are integers with $m \geq n > 2$ then $f_{X}(m) + f_{X}(n) \geq f_{X}(m + 1) + f_{X}(n - 1)$. (b) Let $P_0$ be a $1 \times 2$ rectangle (including its interior) and inductively define the polygon $P_i$ to be the result of folding $P_{i-1}$ over some line that cuts $P_{i-1}$ into two connected parts. The diameter of a polygon $P_i$ is the maximum distance between two points of $P_i$. Determine the smallest possible diameter of $P_{2013}$.

Can their sum have a numerator greater than its denominator? [b]p2.[/b] On New Year's Eve, geraniums, crocuses and cacti stood in a row (from left to right) on the windowsill. Every morning, Masha, wiping off the dust, swaps the places of the flower on the right and the flower in the center.

Two-thirds of voters in this country are urban and one-third are rural. The President must propose for approval a draft government of $100$ people. It is known that the same percentage of urban (rural) residents will vote for the project as there are people from the city (rural) in the proposed project. What is the smallest number of city residents that must be included in the draft government so that more than half of the voters vote for it? [b]p10.[/b] Vasya and Petya play such a game on a $10 \times 10 board$. Vasya has many squares the size of one cell, Petya has many corners of three cells (fig.). They are walking one by one - first Vasya puts his square on the board, then Petya puts his corner, then Vasya puts another square, etc. (You cannot place pieces on top of others.) The one who cannot make the next move loses. Vasya claims that he can always win, no matter how hard Petya tries. Is Vasya right?

In a regular polygon with $134$ sides, $67$ diagonals are drawn so that exactly one diagonal emerges from each vertex. We call the [i]length[/i] of a diagonal the number of sides of the polygon included between the vertices of the diagonal and which is less than or equal to $67$. If we order the [i]lengths [/i] of the diagonals in ascending order, we obtain a succession of $67$ numbers $(d_1,d_2,...,d_{67})$. It will be possible to draw diagonals such that a) $(d_1,d_2,...,d_{67})=\underbrace{2 ... 2}_{6},\underbrace{3 ... 3}_{61}$ ? b) $(d_1,d_2,...,d_{67}) =\underbrace{3 ... 3}_{8},\underbrace{6 ... 6}_{55}.\underbrace{8 ... 8}_{4} $ ?

A tripod has three legs each of length 5 feet. When the tripod is set up, the angle between any pair of legs is equal to the angle between any other pair, and the top of the tripod is 4 feet from the ground. In setting up the tripod, the lower 1 foot of one leg breaks off. Let $h$ be the height in feet of the top of the tripod from the ground when the broken tripod is set up. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\frac m{\sqrt{n}},$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $\lfloor m+\sqrt{n}\rfloor.$ (The notation $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer that is less than or equal to $x$.)

One hundred friends, including Alice and Bob, live in several cities. Alice has determined the distance from her city to the city of each of the other 99 friends and totaled these 99 numbers. Alice’s total is 1000 km. Bob similarly totaled his distances to everyone else. What is the largest total that Bob could have obtained? (Consider the cities as points on the plane; if two people live in the same city, the distance between their cities is considered zero).

This is the one with the 8 circles? I made each circle into the square in which the circle is inscribed, then calculated it with that. It got the right answer but I don't think that my method is truly valid...
