In a group of people, there are some mutually friendly pairs. For positive integer $k\ge3$ we say the group is $k$-great, if every (unordered) $k$-tuple of people from the group can be seated around a round table it the way that all pairs of neighbors are mutually friendly. [i](Since this was the 67th year of CZE/SVK MO,)[/i] show that if the group is 6-great, then it is 7-great as well. [b]Bonus[/b] (not included in the competition): Determine all positive integers $k\ge3$ for which, if the group is $k$-great, then it is $(k+1)$-great as well.

Two satellites are launched at a distance $R$ from a planet of negligible radius. Both satellites are launched in the tangential direction. The first satellite launches correctly at a speed $v_\text{0}$ and enters a circular orbit. The second satellite, however, is launched at a speed $\frac{1}{2}v_\text{0}$. What is the minimum distance between the second satellite and the planet over the course of its orbit? (a) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}R$ (b) $\frac{1}{2}R$ (c) $\frac{1}{3}R$ (d) $\frac{1}{4}R$ (e) $\frac{1}{7}R$

1998 Iran MO (3rd Round), 1

A one-player game is played on a $m \times n$ table with $m \times n$ nuts. One of the nuts' sides is black, and the other side of them is white. In the beginning of the game, there is one nut in each cell of the table and all nuts have their white side upwards except one cell in one corner of the table which has the black side upwards. In each move, we should remove a nut which has its black side upwards from the table and reverse all nuts in adjacent cells (i.e. the cells which share a common side with the removed nut's cell). Find all pairs $(m,n)$ for which we can remove all nuts from the table.

Wins the game who achieve paint the three sides of a triangle with his color, if none of the players can win, they game tie. Lalo starts playing. Determines all natural numbers $n$ such that one of the players have winning strategy.
