KoMaL A Problems 2022/2023, A. 839

We are given a finite, simple, non-directed graph. Ann writes positive real numbers on each edge of the graph such that for all vertices the following is true: the sum of the numbers written on the edges incident to a given vertex is less than one. Bob wants to write non-negative real numbers on the vertices in the following way: if the number written at vertex $v$ is $v_0$, and Ann's numbers on the edges incident to $v$ are $e_1,e_2,\ldots,e_k$, and the numbers on the other endpoints of these edges are $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_k$, then $v_0=\sum_{i=1}^k e_iv_i+2022$. Prove that Bob can always number the vertices in this way regardless of the graph and the numbers chosen by Ann. Proposed by [i]Boldizsár Varga[/i], Verőce

Hermione and Ron play a game that starts with $129$ hats arranged in a circle. They take turns magically transforming the hats into animals. On each turn, a player picks a hat and chooses whether to change it into a badger or into a raven. A player loses if after his or her turn there are two animals of the same species right next to each other. Hermione goes first. Who loses?

Let $f:\mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R}$ be a function. For every $a\in\mathbb{Z}$ consider the function $f_a : \mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R}$, $f_a(x) = (x - a)f(x)$.
