[b]p1.[/b] Replace $*$’s by an arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) to obtain true equality $$2*0*1*6*7=1.$$
[b]p2.[/b] The interval of length $88$ cm is divided into three unequal parts. The distance between middle points of the left and right parts is $46$ cm. Find the length of the middle part.
[b]p3.[/b] A $5\times 6$ rectangle is drawn on a square grid. Paint some cells of the rectangle in such a way that every $3\times 2$ sub‐rectangle has exactly two cells painted.
[b]p4.[/b] There are $8$ similar coins. $5$ of them are counterfeit. A detector can analyze any set of coins and show if there are counterfeit coins in this set. The detector neither determines which coins nare counterfeit nor how many counterfeit coins are there. How to run the detector twice to find for sure at least one counterfeit coin?
[b]p5.[/b] There is a set of $20$ weights of masses $1, 2, 3,...$ and $20$ grams. Can one divide this set into three groups of equal total masses?
[b]p6.[/b] Replace letters $A,B,C,D,E,F,G$ by the digits $0,1,...,9$ to get true equality $AB+CD=EF * EG$ (different letters correspond to different digits, same letter means the same digit, $AB$, $CD$, $EF$, and $EG$ are two‐digit numbers).

A group of clerks is assigned the task of sorting $1775$ files. Each clerk sorts at a constant rate of $30$ files per hour. At the end of the first hour, some of the clerks are reassigned to another task; at the end of the second hour, the same number of the remaining clerks are also reassigned to another task, and a similar reassignment occurs at the end of the third hour. The group finishes the sorting in $3$ hours and $10$ minutes. Find the number of files sorted during the first one and a half hours of sorting.

The triangle table is constructed according to the rule: You put the natural number $a>1$ in the upper row, and then you write under the number $k$ from the left side $k^2$, and from the right side -- $(k+1)$. For example, if $a = 2$, you get the table on the picture. Prove that all the numbers on each particular line are different.

Every square of $1000 \times 1000$ board is colored black or white. It is known that exists one square $10 \times 10$ such that all squares inside it are black and one square $10 \times 10$ such that all squares inside are white. For every square $K$ $10 \times 10$ we define its power $m(K)$ as an absolute value of difference between number of white and black squares $1 \times 1$ in square $K$. Let $T$ be a square $10 \times 10$ which has minimum power among all squares $10 \times 10$ in this board. Determine maximal possible value of $m(T)$

$100$ silver coins ordered by weight and $101$ gold coins also ordered by weight are given. All coins have different weights. You are given a balance to compare weights of any two coins. How can you find the “middle” coin (that occupies the $101$-st place in weight among all $201$ coins) using the minimal number of weighings? Find this number and prove that a smaller number of weighings would be insufficient.

Consider all $2^{20}$ paths of length $20$ units on the coordinate plane starting from point $(0, 0)$ going only up or right, each one unit at a time. Each such path has a unique [i]bubble space[/i], which is the region of points on the coordinate plane at most one unit away from some point on the path. The average area enclosed by the bubble space of each path, over all $2^{20}$ paths, can be written as $\tfrac{m + n\pi}{p}$ where $m, n, p$ are positive integers and $\gcd(m, n, p) = 1$. Find $m + n + p$.
