We say a finite set $S$ of points in the plane is [i]very[/i] if for every point $X$ in $S$, there exists an inversion with center $X$ mapping every point in $S$ other than $X$ to another point in $S$ (possibly the same point). (a) Fix an integer $n$. Prove that if $n \ge 2$, then any line segment $\overline{AB}$ contains a unique very set $S$ of size $n$ such that $A, B \in S$. (b) Find the largest possible size of a very set not contained in any line. (Here, an [i]inversion[/i] with center $O$ and radius $r$ sends every point $P$ other than $O$ to the point $P'$ along ray $OP$ such that $OP\cdot OP' = r^2$.) [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]

While Theophrastus was talking to Aristotle about the classification of plants, had a dog tied to a perfectly smooth cylindrical column of radius $r$, with a very fine rope that wrapped around the column and with a loop. The dog had the extreme free from the rope around his neck. In trying to reach Theophrastus, he put the rope tight and it broke. Find out how far from the column the knot was in the time to break the rope.

On a chess table $n\times m$ we call a [i]move [/i] the following succesion of operations (i) choosing some unmarked squares, any two not lying on the same row or column; (ii) marking them with 1; (iii) marking with 0 all the unmarked squares which lie on the same line and column with a square marked with the number 1 (even if the square has been marked with 1 on another move).
