Initially, there are three different points on the plane. Every minute, three points are chosen, for example $A$, $B$ and $C$, and a new point $D$ is generated which is symmetric to $A$ with respect to the perpendicular bisector of line segment $BC$. 24 hours later, it turns out that among all the points that were generated, there exist three collinear points. Prove that the three initial points were also collinear. (Author: V. Shmarov)

[b]p3.[/b] Six middle school students are sitting in a circle, facing inwards, and doing math problems. There is a stack of nine math problems. A random student picks up the stack and, beginning with himself and proceeding clockwise around the circle, gives one problem to each student in order until the pile is exhausted. Aditya falls asleep and is therefore not the student who picks up the pile, although he still receives problem(s) in turn.

The time the pizza takes to bake is directly proportional to the distance it is from the fire and the rate at which the pizza bakes is constant whenever the distance isn’t changed. Paul puts a pizza $2$ feet from the fire at $10:30$.
