Fencing Ferdinand wants to fence three rectangular areas. there are fences in three types, with $4$ amount of fences of each type. You will notice that there is always at least as much area it manages to enclose a total of three by enclosing three square areas (i.e., each area fencing elements of the same size to enclose it) as if it were three different, rectangular would encircle an area (i.e., use two different elements for each of the three areas). Why is this is so? When does it not matter how he fences the rectangles, in terms of the sum of the areas?

Let $L_i,\ i=1,2,3$, be line segments on the sides of an equilateral triangle, one segment on each side, with lengths $l_i,\ i=1,2,3$. By $L_i^{\ast}$ we denote the segment of length $l_i$ with its midpoint on the midpoint of the corresponding side of the triangle. Let $M(L)$ be the set of points in the plane whose orthogonal projections on the sides of the triangle are in $L_1,L_2$, and $L_3$, respectively; $M(L^{\ast})$ is defined correspondingly. Prove that if $l_1\ge l_2+l_3$, we have that the area of $M(L)$ is less than or equal to the area of $M(L^{\ast})$.

Several pupils wrote a solution of a math problem on the blackboard on the break. When the teacher came in, a pupil was just clearing the blackboard, so the teacher could only observe that there was a rectangle with the sides of integer lenghts and a diagonal of lenght $ 2002$. Then the teacher pointed out that there was a computation error in pupils' solution. Why did he conclude that?

[u]Round 1[/u] [b]p1.[/b] Ash is running around town catching Pokémon. Each day, he may add $3, 4$, or $5$ Pokémon to his collection, but he can never add the same number of Pokémon on two consecutive days. What is the smallest number of days it could take for him to collect exactly $100$ Pokémon? [b]p2.[/b] Jack and Jill have ten buckets. One bucket can hold up to $1$ gallon of water, another can hold up to $2$ gallons, and so on, with the largest able to hold up to $10$ gallons. The ten buckets are arranged in a line as shown below. Jack and Jill can pour some amount of water into each bucket, but no bucket can have less water than the one to its left. Is it possible that together, the ten buckets can hold 36 gallons of water?

Knights always tell the truth and liars always lie. Each of them says, “the number of liars to the left of me is greater than the number of knights to the right.” How many liars are there? [b]p4.[/b] Camila has a deck of $101$ cards numbered $1, 2, ..., 101$. She starts with $50$ random cards in her hand and the rest on a table with the numbers visible. In an exchange, she replaces all $50$ cards in her hand with her choice of $50$ of the $51$ cards from the table. Show that Camila can make at most 50 exchanges and end up with cards $1, 2, ..., 50$.

Each pirate, including the captain, starts with $1$ gold coin. The captain makes proposals for redistributing the coins, and the crew vote on these proposals. The captain does not vote. For every proposal, each crew member greedily votes “yes” if he gains coins as a result of the proposal, “no” if he loses coins, and passes otherwise. If strictly more crew members vote “yes” than “no,” the proposal takes effect. The captain can make any number of proposals, one after the other. What is the largest number of coins the captain can accumulate? [u]Round 2[/u] [b]p6.[/b] The town of Lumenville has $100$ houses and is preparing for the math festival. The Tesla wiring company will lay lengths of power wire in straight lines between the houses so that power flows between any two houses, possibly by passing through other houses. The Edison lighting company will hang strings of lights in straight lines between pairs of houses so that each house is connected by a string to exactly one other. Show that however the houses are arranged, the Edison company can always hang their strings of lights so that the total length of the strings is no more than the total length of the power wires the Tesla company used.
