Given positive integers $n$ and $k \leq n$. Consider an equilateral triangular board with side $n$, which consists of circles: in the first (top) row there is one circle, in the second row there are two circles, $\ldots$ , in the bottom row there are $n$ circles (see the figure below). Let us place checkers on this board so that any line parallel to a side of the triangle (there are $3n$ such lines) contains no more than $k$ checkers. Denote by $T(k, n)$ the largest possible number of checkers in such a placement.

$2n$ ($n\ge 2$) teams took part in the football league matches and there were $2n-1$ matchweeks. In each matchweek each team played one match. Any two teams met with each other during the matches in exactly one game. Moreover, in each match one team was the host and the second was a guest. Say a team is [i] traveling[/i], if in any two consecutive matchweeks it was once a host and once a guest. Prove that there are at most two traveling teams.

Katie and Allie are playing a game. Katie rolls two fair six-sided dice and Allie flips two fair two-sided coins. Katie’s score is equal to the sum of the numbers on the top of the dice. Allie’s score is the product of the values of two coins, where heads is worth $4$ and tails is worth $2.$ What is the probability Katie’s score is strictly greater than Allie’s?

In a fish shop with 28 kinds of fish, there are 28 fish sellers. In every seller, there exists only one type of each fish kind, depending on where it comes, Mediterranean or Black Sea. Each of the $k$ people gets exactly one fish from each seller and exactly one fish of each kind. For any two people, there exists a fish kind which they have different types of it (one Mediterranean, one Black Sea). What is the maximum possible number of $k$?

The area of a triangle is determined by the lengths of its sides. Is the volume of a tetrahedron determined by the areas of its faces?

There are $27$ cards, each has some amount of ($1$ or $2$ or $3$) shapes (a circle, a square or a triangle) with some color (white, grey or black) on them. We call a triple of cards a [i]match[/i] such that all of them have the same amount of shapes or distinct amount of shapes, have the same shape or distinct shapes and have the same color or distinct colors. For instance, three cards shown in the figure are a [i]match[/i] be cause they have distinct amount of shapes, distinct shapes but the same color of shapes. What is the maximum number of cards that we can choose such that non of the triples make a [i]match[/i]? [i]Proposed by Amin Bahjati[/i]

In the acute triangle $ABC$, $\angle BAC$ is less than $\angle ACB $. Let $AD$ be a diameter of $\omega$, the circle circumscribed to said triangle. Let $E$ be the point of intersection of the ray $AC$ and the tangent to $\omega$ passing through $B$.
