Let $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6$ be a hexagon inscribed into a circle with center $O$. Consider the circular arc with endpoints $A_1,A_6$ not containing $A_2$. For any point $M$ of that arc denote by $h_i$ the distance from $M$ to the line $A_iA_{i+1} \ (1 \leq i \leq 5)$. Construct $M$ such that the sum $h_1 + \cdots + h_5$ is maximal.

Kelvin the Frog places $40$ rooks on a uniformly random subset of $40$ squares of a $20 \times 20$ chessboard. Then, Alex the Kat chooses two of the $40$ rooks uniformly at random. What is the probability that Alex's two rooks attack each other? Two rooks attack each other if they are on the same row or column, and no piece stands between them.

Suppose $x$ is a random real number between $1$ and $4$, and $y$ is a random real number between $1$ and $9$. If the expected value of \[ \left\lceil \log_2 x \right\rceil - \left\lfloor \log_3 y \right\rfloor \] can be expressed as $\frac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute $100m + n$.

There are several cities in a country. Some pairs of the cities are connected by a two-way airline of one of the $N$ companies, so that each company serves exactly one airline from each city, and one can travel between any two cities, possibly with transfers. During a financial crisis, $N-1$ airlines have been canceled, all from different companies. Prove that it is still possible to travel between any two cities.

[b]Rules[/b] (1) On the first move, place $A_1$ on any point on $A_0B$(except $A_0$). (2) On the $n>1$th move, place $A_n$ on $A_0B$ iff $A_{n-1}$ is on $A_0C$, and place $A_n$ on $A_0C$ iff $A_{n-1}$ is one $A_0B$. $A_n$ must be place on the point that satisfies $A_{n-2}A_n{n-1}=A_{n-1}A_n$.
