Let $n\ge2$ be a positive integer. The numbers $1,2,..., n^2$ are consecutively placed into squares of an $n\times n$, so the first row contains $1,2,...,n$ from left to right, the second row contains $n+1,n+2,...,2n$ from left to right, and so on. The [i]magic square value[/i] of a grid is defined to be the number of rows, columns, and main diagonals whose elements have an average value of $\frac{n^2 + 1}{2}$. Show that the magic-square value of the grid stays constant under the following two operations: (1) a permutation of the rows; and (2) a permutation of the columns. (The operations can be used multiple times, and in any order.) [i]Proposed by Ray Li[/i]

Sunay is in the bottom-left square of a checkerboard which is $5$ squares wide (the left-right direction) and $3$ squares tall (the up-down direction). From any square, he may move one square up, one square down, or one square to the right, provided that he does not fall off the checkerboard and provided that he does not revisit a square. How many paths are there for Sunay from the bottom-left square to the top-right square?

A spherical planet has the equator of length $1$. On this planet, $N$ circular roads of length $1$ each are to be built and used for several trains each. The trains must have the same constant positive speed and never stop or collide. What is the greatest possible sum of lengths of all the trains? The trains are arcs of zero width with endpoints removed (so that if only endpoints of two arcs have coincided then it is not a collision).
