Joe bikes $x$ miles East at $20$ mph to his friend’s house. He then turns South and bikes $x$ miles at $20$ mph to the store. Then, Joe turns East again and goes to his grandma’s house at $14$ mph. On this last leg, he has to carry flour he bought for her at the store. Her house is $2$ more miles from the store than Joe’s friend’s house is from the store. Joe spends a total of 1 hour on the bike to get to his grandma’s house. If Joe then rides straight home in his grandma’s helicopter at $78$ mph, how many minutes does it take Joe to get home from his grandma’s house

For any natural $n$, $f(n)$ is the number of labeled digraphs with $n$ vertices such that for any vertex the number if in-edges is equal to the number of out-edges and the total of (in+out) edges is even. Let $g(n)$ be the odd-analogous of $f(n)$. Find $g(n)-f(n)$ with proof . [hide=original formulation] Dado $n$ natural, seja $f(n)$ o número de grafos rotulados direcionados com $n$ vértices de modo que em cada vértice o número de arestas que chegam é igual ao número de arestas que saem e o número de arestas total do grafo é par . Defina $g(n)$ analogamente trocando "par" por "ímpar" na definição acima. Calcule $f(n) - g (n)$. (Observação: Um grafo rotulado direcionado é um par $G = (V, E)$ onde $V = \{1, 2, …, n\}$ e $E$ é um subconjunto de $V^2 -\{(i, i); 0 < i < n + 1\}$).[/hide]

A hunter and an invisible rabbit play a game in the Euclidean plane. The rabbit's starting point, $A_0,$ and the hunter's starting point, $B_0$ are the same. After $n-1$ rounds of the game, the rabbit is at point $A_{n-1}$ and the hunter is at point $B_{n-1}.$ In the $n^{\text{th}}$ round of the game, three things occur in order: [list=i] [*]The rabbit moves invisibly to a point $A_n$ such that the distance between $A_{n-1}$ and $A_n$ is exactly $1.$ [*]A tracking device reports a point $P_n$ to the hunter. The only guarantee provided by the tracking device to the hunter is that the distance between $P_n$ and $A_n$ is at most $1.$ [*]The hunter moves visibly to a point $B_n$ such that the distance between $B_{n-1}$ and $B_n$ is exactly $1.$ [/list] Is it always possible, no matter how the rabbit moves, and no matter what points are reported by the tracking device, for the hunter to choose her moves so that after $10^9$ rounds, she can ensure that the distance between her and the rabbit is at most $100?$ [i]Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria[/i]

Let $n$ be a positive integer, $n\geq 2$. Let $M=\{0,1,2,\ldots n-1\}$. For an integer nonzero number $a$ we define the function $f_{a}: M\longrightarrow M$, such that $f_{a}(x)$ is the remainder when dividing $ax$ at $n$. Find a necessary and sufficient condition such that $f_{a}$ is bijective. And if $f_{a}$ is bijective and $n$ is a prime number, prove that $a^{n(n-1)}-1$ is divisible by $n^{2}$.
