Prove that any convex polyhedron with $10n$ faces, has at least $n$ faces with the same number of sides. (A Kanel)

we named a $n*n$ table $selfish$ if we number the row and column with $0,1,2,3,...,n-1$.(from left to right an from up to down) for every {$ i,j\in{0,1,2,...,n-1}$} the number of cell $(i,j)$ is equal to the number of number $i$ in the row $j$. for example we have such table for $n=5$ 1 0 3 3 4 1 3 2 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 prove that for $n>5$ there is no $selfish$ table

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An infinite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.

Given two (identical) polygonal domains in the Euclidean plane, it is not possible in general to superpose the two using only translations and rotations. Prove that this can however be achieved by splitting one of the domains into a finite number of polygonal subdomains which then fit together, via translations and rotations in the plane, to recover the other domain.
