$ n > 2 $ points are chosen on a circle and each of them is connected to every other by a segment. Is it possible to draw all of these segments in one sequence, i.e. so that the end of the first segment is the beginning of the second, the end of the second - the beginning of the third, etc., and so that the end of the last segment is the beginning of the first?

Find all natural numbers $n$ for which there exists set $S$ consisting of $n$ points in the plane, satisfying the condition:
For each point $A \in S$ there exist at least three points say $X, Y, Z$ from $S$ such that the segments $AX, AY$ and$ AZ$ have length $1$ (it means that $AX = AY = AZ = 1$).

On the plane three different points $P, Q$, and $R$ are chosen. It is known that however one chooses another point $X$ on the plane, the point $P$ is always either closer to $X$ than the point $Q$ or closer to $X$ than the point $R$. Prove that the point $P$ lies on the line segment $QR$.

Let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers satifying $gcd(a, b) = 1$. Consider a pawn standing on the grid point $(x, y)$.
A step of type A consists of moving the pawn to one of the following grid points: $(x+a, y+a),(x+a,y-a), (x-a, y + a)$ or $(x - a, y - a)$.
A step of type B consists of moving the pawn to $(x + b,y + b),(x + b,y - b), (x - b,y + b)$ or $(x - b,y - b)$.
Now put a pawn on $(0, 0)$. You can make a (nite) number of steps, alternatingly of type A and type B, starting with a step of type A. You can make an even or odd number of steps, i.e., the last step could be of either type A or type B.
Determine the set of all grid points $(x,y)$ that you can reach with such a series of steps.

Mikko takes a multiple choice test with ten questions. His only goal is to pass the test, and this requires seven points. A correct answer is worth one point, and answering wrong results in the deduction of one point. Mikko knows for sure that he knows the correct answer in the six first questions. For the rest, he estimates that he can give the correct answer to each problem with probability $p, 0 < p < 1$. How many questions Mikko should try?

Let $n$ be a non-zero natural number, $n \ge 5$. Consider $n$ distinct points in the plane, each colored or white, or black. For each natural $k$ , a move of type $k, 1 \le k <\frac {n} {2}$, means selecting exactly $k$ points and changing their color. Determine the values of $n$ for which, whatever $k$ and regardless of the initial coloring, there is a finite sequence of $k$ type moves, at the end of which all points have the same color.

$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.

A circle is divided into $n$ equal arcs by $n$ points. Assume that, no matter how we color the $n$ points in two colors, there always exists an axis of symmetry of the set of points such that any two of the $n$ points which are symmetric with respect to that axis have the same color. Find all possible values of $n$.
