In a certain game, the set $\{1, 2, \dots, 10\}$ is partitioned into equally-sized sets $A$ and $B$. In each of five consecutive rounds, Alice and Bob simultaneously choose an element from $A$ or $B$, respectively, that they have not yet chosen; whoever chooses the larger number receives a point, and whoever obtains three points wins the game. Determine the probability that Alice is guaranteed to win immediately after the set is initially partitioned.

2020 Canadian Junior Mathematical Olympiad, 2

Ziquan makes a drawing in the plane for art class. He starts by placing his pen at the origin, and draws a series of line segments, such that the $n^{th}$ line segment has length $n$. He is not allowed to lift his pen, so that the end of the $n^{th}$ segment is the start of the $(n + 1)^{th}$ segment. Line segments drawn are allowed to intersect and even overlap previously drawn segments. After drawing a finite number of line segments, Ziquan stops and hands in his drawing to his art teacher. He passes the course if the drawing he hands in is an $N$ by $N$ square, for some positive integer $N$, and he fails the course otherwise. Is it possible for Ziquan to pass the course?

In a $5 \times 5$ checkered square, the middle row and middle column are colored gray. You leave the corner cell and move to the cell adjacent to the side with each move. For each transition from a gray cell to a gray one you need to pay a ruble. What is the smallest number of rubles you need to pay to go around all the squares of the board exactly once (it is not necessary to return to the starting square)?
