Let $V$ be the set of vertices of a regular $21$-gon. Given a non-empty subset $U$ of $V$ , let $m(U)$ be the number of distinct lengths that occur between two distinct vertices in $U$. What is the maximum value of $\frac{m(U)}{|U|}$ as $U$ varies over all non-empty subsets of $V$ ?

Prove the following: a) If $ABCA'B'C'$ is a right prism and $M \in (BC), N \in (CA), P \in (AB)$ such that $A'M, B'N$ and $C'P$ are perpendicular each other and concurrent, then the prism $ABCA'B'C'$ is regular. b) If $ABCA'B'C'$ is a regular prism and $\frac{AA'}{AB}=\frac{\sqrt6}{4}$ , then there are $M \in (BC), N \in (CA), P \in (AB)$ so that the lines $A'M, B'N$ and $C'P$ are perpendicular each other and concurrent.

(a) Several identical napkins, each in the shape of a regular hexagon, are put on a table (the napkins may overlap). Each napkin has one side which is parallel to a fixed line. Is it always possible to hammer a few nails into the table so that each napkin is nailed with exactly one nail? (b) The same question for regular pentagons. (A Kanel)

Consider the diagonals $A_1A_3, A_2A_4, A_3A_5, A_4A_6, A_5A_4$ and $A_6A_2$ of a convex hexagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6$. The hexagon whose vertices are the points of intersection of the diagonals is regular. Can we conclude that the hexagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6$ is also regular?
