In the grid shown, fill in each empty space with a number, such that after the grid is completely filled in, the number in each space is equal to the smallest positive integer that does not appear in any of the touching spaces. (A pair of spaces is considered to touch if they both share a vertex.) You do not need to prove that your configuration is the only one possible; you merely need to find a configuration that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

2008 ITest, 8

The math team at Jupiter Falls Middle School meets twice a month during the Summer, and the math team coach, Mr. Fischer, prepares some Olympics-themed problems for his students. One of the problems Joshua and Alexis work on boils down to a system of equations: \begin{align*}2x+3y+3z&=8,\\3x+2y+3z&=808,\\3x+3y+2z&=80808.\end{align*} Their goal is not to find a solution $(x,y,z)$ to the system, but instead to compute the sum of the variables. Find the value of $x+y+z$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Suppose the points $A',B',C'$ lie on its sides $BC,AC,AB$ respectively and the segments $AA',BB',CC'$ intersect in a common point $P$ inside the triangle. For each of those segments let us consider the circle such that the segment is its diameter, and the chord of this circle that contains the point $P$ and is perpendicular to this diameter. All three these chords occurred to have the same length. Prove that $P$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. (Grigory Galperin)

Let $N$ and $d$ be two positive integers with $N\geq d+2$. There are $N$ countries connected via two-way direct flights, where each country is connected to exactly $d$ other countries. It is known that for any two different countries, it is possible to go from one to another via several flights. A country is \emph{important} if after removing it and all the $d$ countries it is connected to, there exist two other countries that are no longer connected via several flights. Show that if every country is important, then one can choose two countries so that more than $2d/3$ countries are connected to both of them via direct flights. [i]Proposed by usjl[/i]
