The convex pentagon $ABCDE$ was drawn in the plane.
$A_1$ was symmetric to $A$ with respect to $B$.
$B_1$ was symmetric to $B$ with respect to $C$.
$C_1$ was symmetric to $C$ with respect to $D$.
$D_1$ was symmetric to $D$ with respect to $E$.
$E_1$ was symmetric to $E$ with respect to $A$.
How is it possible to restore the initial pentagon with the compasses and ruler, knowing $A_1,B_1,C_1,D_1,E_1$ points?

Michael walks at the rate of $ 5$ feet per second on a long straight path. Trash pails are located every $ 200$ feet along the path. A garbage truck travels at $ 10$ feet per second in the same direction as Michael and stops for $ 30$ seconds at each pail. As Michael passes a pail, he notices the truck ahead of him just leaving the next pail. How many times will Michael and the truck meet?

Pascal's triangle is an array of positive integers(See figure), in which the first row is $1$, the second row is two $1$'s, each row begins and ends with $1$, and the $k^\text{th}$ number in any row when it is not $1$, is the sum of the $k^\text{th}$ and $(k-1)^\text{th}$ numbers in the immediately preceding row. The quotient of the number of numbers in the first $n$ rows which are not $1$'s and the number of $1$'s is

There are $n\leq 99$ people around a circular table. At every moment everyone can either be truthful (always says the truth) or a liar (always lies). Initially some of people (possibly none) are truthful and the rest are liars. At every minute everyone answers at the same time the question "Is your left neighbour truthful or a liar?" and then becomes the same type of person as his answer. Determine the largest $n$ for which, no matter who are the truthful people in the beginning, at some point everyone will become truthful forever.

Suppose you are playing a game against Daniel. There are $2017$ chips on a table. During your turn, if you can write the number of chips on the table as a sum of two cubes of not necessarily distinct, nonnegative integers, then you win. Otherwise, you can take some number of chips between $1$ and $6$ inclusive off the table. (You may not leave fewer than $0$ chips on the table.) Daniel can also do the same on his turn. You make the first move, and you and Daniel always make the optimal move during turns. Who should win the game? Explain.
