Graph $G$ has $n$ vertices and $mn$ edges, where $n>2m$, show that there exists a path with $m+1$ vertices. (A path is an open walk without repeating vertices )

$n \geq 4$ players participated in a tennis tournament. Any two players have played exactly one game, and there was no tie game. We call a company of four players $bad$ if one player was defeated by the other three players, and each of these three players won a game and lost another game among themselves. Suppose that there is no bad company in this tournament. Let $w_i$ and $l_i$ be respectively the number of wins and losses of the $i$-th player. Prove that \[\sum^n_{i=1} \left(w_i - l_i\right)^3 \geq 0.\] [i]Proposed by Sung Yun Kim, South Korea[/i]

Given a finite set of points in the plane, each with integer coordinates, is it always possible to color the points red or white so that for any straight line $L$ parallel to one of the coordinate axes the difference (in absolute value) between the numbers of white and red points on $L$ is not greater than $1$?

We say that a graph $G$ is [i]divisive[/i], if we can write a positive integer on each of its vertices such that all the integers are distinct, and any two of these integers divide each other if and only if there is an edge running between them in $G$. Which Platonic solids form a divisive graph? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/1/5/7c81439ee148ccda09c429556e0740865723e0.png[/img]

We call a matrix $\textsl{binary matrix}$ if all its entries equal to $0$ or $1$. A binary matrix is $\textsl{Good}$ if it simultaneously satisfies the following two conditions: (1) All the entries above the main diagonal (from left to right), not including the main diagonal, are equal. (2) All the entries below the main diagonal (from left to right), not including the main diagonal, are equal. Given positive integer $m$, prove that there exists a positive integer $M$, such that for any positive integer $n>M$ and a given $n \times n$ binary matrix $A_n$, we can select integers $1 \leq i_1 <i_2< \cdots < i_{n-m} \leq n$ and delete the $i_i$-th, $i_2$-th,$\cdots$, $i_{n-m}$-th rows and $i_i$-th, $i_2$-th,$\cdots$, $i_{n-m}$-th columns of $A_n$, then the resulting binary matrix $B_m$ is $\textsl{Good}$.

Let $n$ be an even positive integer, and let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with exactly $\tfrac{n^2}{4}$ edges, where there are no loops or multiple edges (each unordered pair of distinct vertices is joined by either 0 or 1 edge). An unordered pair of distinct vertices $\{x,y\}$ is said to be [i]amicable[/i] if they have a common neighbor (there is a vertex $z$ such that $xz$ and $yz$ are both edges). Prove that $G$ has at least $2\textstyle\binom{n/2}{2}$ pairs of vertices which are amicable. [i]Zoltán Füredi (suggested by Po-Shen Loh)[/i]

In a group of $m$ girls and $n$ boys, any two persons either know each other or do not know each other. For any two boys and any two girls, there are at least one boy and one girl among them,who do not know each other. Prove that the number of unordered pairs of (boy, girl) who know each other does not exceed $m+\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$.

In the plane we have $n$ rectangles with parallel sides. The sides of distinct rectangles lie on distinct lines. The boundaries of the rectangles cut the plane into connected regions. A region is [i]nice[/i] if it has at least one of the vertices of the $n$ rectangles on the boundary. Prove that the sum of the numbers of the vertices of all nice regions is less than $40n$. (There can be nonconvex regions as well as regions with more than one boundary curve.)

We place n points in the unit square independently, according to a uniform distribution. These points are the vertices of a graph $G_n$. Two points are connected by an edge if the slope of the segment connecting them is nonnegative. Denote by $M_n$ the event that the graph $G_n$ has a 1-factor. Prove that $\lim_{n \to \infty} P(M_ {2n}) = 1$.

There are at least $3$ subway stations in a city. In this city, there exists a route that passes through more than $L$ subway stations, without revisiting. Subways run both ways, which means that if you can go from subway station A to B, you can also go from B to A. Prove that at least one of the two holds. $\text{(i)}$. There exists three subway stations $A$, $B$, $C$ such that there does not exist a route from $A$ to $B$ which doesn't pass through $C$. $\text{(ii)}$. There is a cycle passing through at least $\lfloor \sqrt{2L} \rfloor$ stations, without revisiting a same station more than once.

Prove that in a finite group G the number of subgroups with index n is at most $| G |^{2 \log_2 n}$.

The columns of an $ n\times n$ board are labeled $ 1$ to $ n$. The numbers $ 1,2,...,n$ are arranged in the board so that the numbers in each row and column are pairwise different. We call a cell "good" if the number in it is greater than the label of its column. For which $ n$ is there an arrangement in which each row contains equally many good cells?

There are $4n$ pebbles of weights $1, 2, 3, \dots, 4n.$ Each pebble is coloured in one of $n$ colours and there are four pebbles of each colour.

[*] Each pile contains two pebbles of each colour. [/list] [i]Proposed by Milan Haiman, Hungary and Carl Schildkraut, USA[/i]

Given the graph $G$ and cycle $C$ in it, we can perform the following operation: add another vertex $v$ to the graph, connect it to all vertices in $C$ and erase all the edges from $C$. Prove that we cannot perform the operation indefinitely on a given graph.

There are 999 scientists. Every 2 scientists are both interested in exactly 1 topic and for each topic there are exactly 3 scientists that are interested in that topic. Prove that it is possible to choose 250 topics such that every scientist is interested in at most 1 theme. [i]A. Magazinov[/i]

The flights map of air company $K_{r,r}$ presents several cities. Some cities are connected by a direct (two way) flight, the total number of flights is m. One must choose two non-intersecting groups of r cities each so that every city of the first group is connected by a flight with every city of the second group. Prove that number of possible choices does not exceed $2*m^r$ .

Let $G$ be a simple, undirected, connected graph with $100$ vertices and $2013$ edges. It is given that there exist two vertices $A$ and $B$ such that it is not possible to reach $A$ from $B$ using one or two edges.

Let $T$ be a tree with$ n$ vertices. Choose a positive integer $k$ where $1 \le k \le n$ such that $S_k$ is a subset with $k$ elements from the vertices in $T$. For all $S \in S_k$, define $c(S)$ to be the number of component of graph from $S$ if we erase all vertices and edges in $T$, except all vertices and edges in $S$. Determine $\sum_{S\in S_k} c(S)$, expressed in terms of $n$ and $k$.

Thirty-four countries participated in a jury session of the IMO, each represented by the leader and the deputy leader of the team. Before the meeting, some participants exchanged handshakes, but no team leader shook hands with his deputy. After the meeting, the leader of the Illyrian team asked every other participant the number of people they had shaken hands with, and all the answers she got were different. How many people did the deputy leader of the Illyrian team greet ?

There are $n > 2022$ cities in the country. Some pairs of cities are connected with straight two-ways airlines. Call the set of the cities {\it unlucky}, if it is impossible to color the airlines between them in two colors without monochromatic triangle (i.e. three cities $A$, $B$, $C$ with the airlines $AB$, $AC$ and $BC$ of the same color). The set containing all the cities is unlucky. Is there always an unlucky set containing exactly 2022 cities?
