Six chairs are evenly spaced around a circular table. One person is seated in each chair. Each person gets up and sits down in a chair that is not the same chair and is not adjacent to the chair he or she originally occupied, so that again one person is seated in each chair. In how many ways can this be done?

Circle is divided into $n$ arcs by $n$ marked points on the circle. After that circle rotate an angle $ 2\pi k/n $ (for some positive integer $ k $), marked points moved to $n$ [i] new points [/i], dividing the circle into $ n $ [i] new arcs[/i]. Prove that there is a new arc that lies entirely in the one of the old arсs.
(It is believed that the endpoints of arcs belong to it.)

Three hoops are arranged concentrically as in the diagram. Each hoop is threaded with $ 20$ beads, $ 10$ of which are black and $ 10$ are white. On each hoop the positions of the beads are labelled $ 1$ through $ 20$ as shown. We say there is a match at position $ i$ if all three beads at position $ i$ have the same color. We are free to slide beads around a hoop, not breaking the hoop. Show that it is always possible to move them into a configuration involving no less than $ 5$ matches.

An ice ballerina rotates at a constant angular velocity at one particular point. That is, she does not translationally move. Her arms are fully extended as she rotates. Her moment of inertia is $I$. Now, she pulls her arms in and her moment of inertia is now $\frac{7}{10}I$. What is the ratio of the new kinetic energy (arms in) to the initial kinetic energy (arms out)?

For a given positive integer $n$, we wish to construct a circle of six numbers as shown below so that the circle has the following properties:
(a) The six numbers are different three-digit numbers, none of whose digits is a 0.
(b) Going around the circle clockwise, the first two digits of each number are the last two digits, in the same order, of the previous number.
(c) All six numbers are divisible by $n$.
The example above shows a successful circle for $n = 2$. For each of $n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$, either construct a circle that satisfies these properties, or prove that it is impossible to do so.
