An empty $2020 \times 2020 \times 2020$ cube is given, and a $2020 \times 2020$ grid of square unit cells is drawn on each of its six faces. A [i]beam[/i] is a $1 \times 1 \times 2020$ rectangular prism. Several beams are placed inside the cube subject to the following conditions: [list=] [*]The two $1 \times 1$ faces of each beam coincide with unit cells lying on opposite faces of the cube. (Hence, there are $3 \cdot {2020}^2$ possible positions for a beam.) [*]No two beams have intersecting interiors. [*]The interiors of each of the four $1 \times 2020$ faces of each beam touch either a face of the cube or the interior of the face of another beam. [/list] What is the smallest positive number of beams that can be placed to satisfy these conditions? [i]Proposed by Alex Zhai[/i]

Consider an infinite strip of unit squares. The squares are numbered "1", "2", "3", ... A pawn starts on one of the squares and it can move according to the following rules: (1) from the square numbered "$n$" to the square numbered "$2n$", and vice versa; (2) from the square numbered "$n$" to the square numbered "$3n + 1$", and vice versa. Show that the pawn can reach the square numbered "$1$" in a finite number of moves.

A treasure is buried at some point on a round island with a radius of $1$ km. On the coast of the island there is a mathematician with a device that indicates the direction to the treasure when the distance to the treasure does not exceed $500$ m. In addition, the mathematician has a map of the island, on which he can record all his movements, perform measurements and geometric constructions. The mathematician claims that he has an algorithm for how to get to the treasure after walking less than $4$ km. Could this be true? (B. Frenkin)
