Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, b_1, b_2, b_3$ be positive real numbers. Prove that
\[(a_1b_2 + a_2b_1 + a_1b_3 + a_3b_1 + a_2b_3 + a_3b_2)^2 \geq 4(a_1a_2 + a_2a_3 + a_3a_1)(b_1b_2 + b_2b_3 + b_3b_1)\]

Prove that for any convex quadrilateral it is always possible to cut out three smaller
quadrilaterals similar to the original one with the scale factor equal to 1/2. (The
angles of a smaller quadrilateral are equal to the corresponding original angles and
the sides are twice smaller then the corresponding sides of the original quadrilateral.)

In a Cartesian coordinate plane, call a rectangle $standard$ if all of its sides are parallel to the $x$- and $y$- axes, and call a set of points $nice$ if no two of them have the same $x$- or $y$- coordinate. First, Bert chooses a nice set $B$ of $2016$ points in the coordinate plane. To mess with Bert, Ernie then chooses a set $E$ of $n$ points in the coordinate plane such that $B\cup E$ is a nice set with $2016+n$ points. Bert returns and then miraculously notices that there does not exist a standard rectangle that contains at least two points in $B$ and no points in $E$ in its interior. For a given nice set $B$ that Bert chooses, define $f(B)$ as the smallest positive integer $n$ such that Ernie can find a nice set $E$ of size $n$ with the aforementioned properties. Help Bert determine the minimum and maximum possible values of $f(B)$.

Dirock has a very neat rectangular backyard that can be represented as a $32\times 32$ grid of unit squares. The rows and columns are each numbered $1,2,\ldots, 32$. Dirock is very fond of rocks, and places a rock in every grid square whose row and column number are both divisible by $3$. Dirock would like to build a rectangular fence with vertices at the centers of grid squares and sides parallel to the sides of the yard such that
[list] [*] The fence does not pass through any grid squares containing rocks; [*] The interior of the fence contains exactly 5 rocks. [/list]
In how many ways can this be done?

[b]p4.[/b] There are $1997$ nonzero real numbers written on the blackboard. An operation consists of choosing any two of these numbers, $a$ and $b$, erasing them, and writing $a+b/2$ and $b-a/2$ instead of them. Prove that if a sequence of such operations is performed, one can never end up with the initial collection of numbers.
