Given two positive integers $m,n$, we say that a function $f : [0,m] \to \mathbb{R}$ is $(m,n)$-[i]slippery[/i] if it has the following properties:
i) $f$ is continuous;
ii) $f(0) = 0$, $f(m) = n$;
iii) If $t_1, t_2\in [0,m]$ with $t_1 < t_2$ are such that $t_2-t_1\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $f(t_2)-f(t_1)\in\mathbb{Z}$, then $t_2-t_1 \in \{0,m\}$.
Find all the possible values for $m, n$ such that there is a function $f$ that is $(m,n)$-slippery.

Triangles $ABC$ and $DEF$, having a common incircle of radius $R$, intersect at points
$X_1, X_2, \ldots , X_6$ and form six triangles (see the figure below). Let $r_1, r_2,\ldots, r_6$ be the radii of the
inscribed circles of these triangles, and let $R_1, R_2, \ldots , R_6$ be the radii of the inscribed circles of the
triangles $AX_1F, FX_2B, BX_3D, DX_4C, CX_5E$ and $EX_6A$ respectively.

Given a triangle $ABC$ and points $P$ and $Q$. It is known that the triangles formed by the projections $P$ and $Q$ on the sides of $ABC$ are similar (vertices lying on the same sides of the original triangle correspond to each other). Prove that line $PQ$ passes through the center of the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$.

Elza draws $2013$ cities on the map and connects some of them with $N$ roads. Then Elza and Susy erase cities in turns until just two cities left (first city is to be erased by Elza). If these cities are connected with a road then Elza wins, otherwise Susy wins. Find the smallest $N$ for which Elza has a winning strategy.

Given right hexagon. The lines parallel to all the sides are drawn from all the vertices and midpoints of the sides (consider only the interior, with respect to the hexagon, parts of those lines). Thus the hexagon is divided onto $24$ triangles, and the figure has $19$ nodes. $19$ different numbers are written in those nodes. Prove that at least $7$ of $24$ triangles have the property: the numbers in its vertices increase (from the least to the greatest) counterclockwise.

In Abaliba country there are twenty cities and two airline companies, Blue Planes and Red Planes. The flights are planned as follows:
$\bullet$ Given any two cities, one and only one of the two companies operates direct flights (in both directions and without stops) between the two cities. Furthermore:
$\bullet$There are two cities A and B between which it is not possible to fly (with possible stops) using only Red Planes.
Prove that, given any two cities, a passenger can travel from one to the other using only Blue Planes, making at most one stop in a third city.
