Given is a circular bus route with $n\geqslant2$ bus stops. The route can be frequented in both directions. The way between two stops is called [i]section[/i] and one of the bus stops is called [i]Zürich[/i]. A bus shall start at Zürich, pass through all the bus stops [b]at least once[/b] and drive along exactly $n+2$ sections before it returns to Zürich in the end. Assuming that the bus can chance directions at each bus stop, how many possible routes are there? EDIT: Sorry, there was a mistake...corrected now, thanks mavropnevma! :oops:

p1. A telephone number with $7$ digits is called a [i]Beautiful Number [/i]if the digits are which appears in the first three numbers (the three must be different) repeats on the next three digits or the last three digits.

In a chess tournament, a player only plays once with another player. A player scores $1$ if he wins, $0$ if he loses, and $\frac12$ if it's a draw. After the competition ended, it was discovered that $\frac12$ of the total value that earned by each player is obtained from playing with 10 different players who got the lowest total points. Especially for those in rank bottom ten, $\frac12$ of the total score one gets is obtained from playing with $9$ other players. How many players are there in the competition?

All internal angles of a convex octagon $ABCDEFGH$ are equal to each other and the edges are alternatively equal: $$AB = CD = EF = GH,BC = DE = FG = HA$$ (we call such an octagon semiregular). The diagonals $AD$, $BE$, $CF$, $DG$, $EH$, $FA$, $GB$ and $HC$ divide the inside of the octagon into certain parts. Consider the part containing the centre of the octagon. If that part is an octagon, then this central octagon is semiregular (this is obvious). In this case we construct similar diagonals in the central octagon and so on. If, after several steps, the central figure is not an octagon, then the process stops. Prove that if the process never stops, then the initial octagon was regular. (A. Tolpygo, Kiev)

From a paper quadrilateral like the one in the figure, you have to cut out a new quadrilateral whose area is equal to half the area of the original quadrilateral.You can only bend one or more times and cut by some of the lines of the folds. Describe the folds and cuts and justify that the area is half.
