Show that every continuum (in the plane of the circle) of diameter greater than $ 4$, containing the center of the circle, intersects one of these connected sets.

Let's take a $ABCD$ rectangle of paper; the side $AB$ measures $5$ cm and the side $BC$ measures $9$ cm.
We do three folds:
1.We take the $AB$ side on the $BC$ side and call $P$ the point on the $BC$ side that coincides with $A$.
A right trapezoid $BCDQ$ is then formed.
2. We fold so that $B$ and $Q$ coincide. A $5$-sided polygon $RPCDQ$ is formed.
3. We fold again by matching $D$ with $C$ and $Q$ with $P$. A new right trapezoid $RPCS$.
After making these folds, we make a cut perpendicular to $SC$ by its midpoint $T$, obtaining the right trapezoid $RUTS$.
Calculate the area of the figure that appears as we unfold the last trapezoid $RUTS$.

The figure below contains two squares which share an edge, one with side length $200$ units and the other with side length $289$ units. The figure is divided into a whole number of regions, each with an equal whole number area but not necessarily of the same shape. Given that there is more than one region and each region has an area greater than $1$, find the sum of the number of regions and the area of each region.

A tennis tournament has at least three participants. Every participant plays exactly one match against every other participant. Moreover, every participant wins at least one of the matches he plays. (Draws do not occur in tennis matches.)
Show that there are three participants $A, B $ and $C$ for which the following holds: $A$ wins against $B, B$ wins against $C$, and $C$ wins against $A$.

Island Hopping Holidays offer short holidays to $64$ islands, labeled Island $i, 1 \le i \le 64$. A guest chooses any Island $a$ for the first night of the holiday, moves to Island $b$ for the second night, and finally moves to Island $c$ for the third night. Due to the limited number of boats, we must have $b \in T_a$ and $c \in T_b$, where the sets $T_i$ are chosen so that
(a) each $T_i$ is non-empty, and $i \notin T_i$,
(b) $\sum^{64}_{i=1} |T_i| = 128$, where $|T_i|$ is the number of elements of $T_i$.
Exhibit a choice of sets $T_i$ giving at least $63\cdot 64 + 6 = 4038$ possible holidays.
Note that c = a is allowed, and holiday choices $(a, b, c)$ and $(a',b',c')$ are considered distinct if $a \ne a'$ or $b \ne b'$ or $c \ne c'$.

Barbara and Jenna play the following game, in which they take turns. A number of coins lie on a table. When it is Barbara's turn, she must remove $2$ or $4$ coins, unless only one coin remains, in which case she loses her turn. When it is Jenna's turn, she must remove $1$ or $3$ coins. A coin flip determines who goes first. Whoever removes the last coin wins the game. Assume both players use their best strategy. Who will win when the game starts with $2013$ coins and when the game starts with $2014$ coins?
$\textbf{(A)}$ Barbara will win with $2013$ coins, and Jenna will win with $2014$ coins.
$\textbf{(B)}$ Jenna will win with $2013$ coins, and whoever goes first will win with $2014$ coins.
$\textbf{(C)}$ Barbara will win with $2013$ coins, and whoever goes second will win with $2014$ coins.
$\textbf{(D)}$ Jenna will win with $2013$ coins, and Barbara will win with $2014$ coins.
$\textbf{(E)}$ Whoever goes first will win with $2013$ coins, and whoever goes second will win with $2014$ coins.
