The Duke of Squares left to his three sons a square estate, $100\times 100$ square miles, made up of ten thousand $1\times 1$ square mile square plots. The whole estate was divided among his sons as follows. Each son was assigned a point inside the estate. A $1\times 1$ square plot was bequeathed to the son whose assigned point was closest to the center of this square plot. Is it true that, irrespective of the choice of assigned points, each of the regions bequeathed to the sons is connected (that is, there is a path between every two of its points, never leaving the region)?

The distance between Maykop and Belorechensk is $24$ km. Two of three friends need to reach Belorechensk from Maykop and another friend wants to reach Maykop from Belorechensk. They have only one bike, which is initially in Maykop. Each guy may go on foot (with velocity at most $6$ kmph) or on a bike (with velocity at most $18$ kmph). It is forbidden to leave a bike on a road. Prove that all of them may achieve their goals after $2$ hours $40$ minutes. (Only one guy may seat on the bike simultaneously). [i]Folclore[/i]

On an infi nite grid, a square with four vertices lie at $(m, n)$, $(m-1, n)$, $(m,n-1)$, $(m-1, n-1)$ is denoted as cell $(m,n)$ $(m, n \in Z)$. Some marbles are dropped on some cell. Each cell may have more than one marble or have no marble at all. Consider a "move" can be conducted in one of two following ways: i) Remove one marble from cell $(m,n)$ (if there is marble at that cell), then add one marble to each of cell $(m - 1, n- 2)$ and cell $(m -2, n - 1)$. ii) Remove two marbles from cell $(m,n)$ (if there is marble at that cell), then add one marble to each of cell $(m +1, n - 2)$ and cell $(m - 2, n +1)$. Assume that initially, there are $n$ marbles at the cell $(1,n), (2,n - 1),..., (n, 1)$ (each cell contains one marble). Can we conduct an finite amount of moves such that both cells $(n + 1, n)$ and $(n, n + 1)$ have marbles?
