Let $n\geq3$ be a positive integer. Let $C_1,C_2,C_3,\ldots,C_n$ be unit circles in the plane, with centres $O_1,O_2,O_3,\ldots,O_n$ respectively. If no line meets more than two of the circles, prove that \[ \sum\limits^{}_{1\leq i<j\leq n}{1\over O_iO_j}\leq{(n-1)\pi\over 4}. \]

The operation $\oslash$, called "reciprocal sum," is useful in many areas of physics. If we say that $x=a\oslash b$, this means that $x$ is the solution to $$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}$$ Compute $4\oslash2\oslash4\oslash3\oslash4\oslash4\oslash2\oslash3\oslash2\oslash4\oslash4\oslash3$.

2005 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 8.2

In the middle cell of the $1 \times 2005$ strip there is a chip. Two players each queues move it: first, the first player moves the piece one cell in any direction, then the second one moves it $2$ cells, the $1$st - by $4$ cells, the 2nd by $8$, etc. (the $k$-th shift occurs by $2^{k-1}$ cells). That, whoever cannot make another move loses. Who can win regardless of the opponent's play?

The distance between cities $A$ and $B$ is $30$ km. Three tourists went from $A$ to $B$. The three of them have two bicycles: a racing bike, on which each of them rides at a speed of $30$ km/h, and a tourist bike, on which they can travel at a speed of $20$ km/h. Each of them can walk at a speed of $6$ km/h. Any bicycle can be left on the road, where it will lie until another tourist can use it. Tourists want to get to $B$ in the shortest time possible, with the end time of the trip corresponding to the moment the last of them arrives at $B$. What is this shortest time?

Let us consider a matrix $T$ with n rows denoted $1,\ldots,n$ and $p$ columns $1,\ldots,p$. Its entries $a_{ik}~(1\le i\le n,1\le k\le p)$ are integers such that $1\le a_{ik}\le N$, where $N$ is a given natural number. Let $E_i$ be the set of numbers that appear on the $i$-th row. Answer question (a) or (b). (a) Assume $T$ satisfies the following conditions: $(1)$ $E_i$ has exactly $p$ elements for each $i$, and $(2)$ all $E_i$'s are mutually distinct. Let $m$ be the smallest value of $N$ that permits a construction of such an $n\times p$ table $T$. i. Compute $m$ if $n=p+1$. ii. Compute $m$ if $n=10^{30}$ and $p=1998$. iii. Determine $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{m^p}n$, where $p$ is fixed. (b) Assume $T$ satisfies the following conditions instead: $(1)$ $p=n$, $(2)$ whenever $i,k$ are integers with $i+k\le n$, the number $a_{ik}$ is not in the set $E_{i+k}$. i. Prove that all $E_i$'s are mutually distinct. ii. Prove that if $n\ge2^q$ for some integer $q>0$, then $N\ge q+1$. iii. Let $n=2^r-1$ for some integer $r>0$. Prove that $N\ge r$ and show that there is such a table with $N=r$.
