For polynomials $P(x) = a_nx^n + \cdots + a_0$, let $f(P) = a_n\cdots a_0$ be the product of the coefficients of $P$. The polynomials $P_1,P_2,P_3,Q$ satisfy $P_1(x) = (x-a)(x-b)$, $P_2(x) = (x-a)(x-c)$, $P_3(x) = (x-b)(x-c)$, $Q(x) = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)$ for some complex numbers $a,b,c$. Given $f(Q) = 8$, $f(P_1) + f(P_2) + f(P_3) = 10$, and $abc>0$, find the value of $f(P_1)f(P_2)f(P_3)$.

The integers $1, 2, \dots , 9$ are written on individual slips of paper and all are put into a bag. Ade chooses a slip at random, notes the integer on it, and replaces it in the bag. Bala then picks a slip at random and notes the integer written on it. Chioma then adds up Ade's and Bala's numbers. What is the probability that the unit's digit of this sum is less that $5$?

Kolya is told that two of his four coins are fake. He knows that all real coins have the same weight, all fake coins have the same weight, and the weight of a real coin is greater than that of a fake coin. Can Kolya decide whether he indeed has exactly two fake coins by using a balance twice?

Tracey baked a square cake whose surface is dissected in a $ 10 \times 10$ grid. In some of the fields she wants to put a strawberry such that for each four fields that compose a rectangle whose edges run in parallel to the edges of the cake boundary there is at least one strawberry. What is the minimum number of required strawberries?

If a square is intersected by another square equal to it but rotated by $45^o$ around its centre, each side is divided into three parts in a certain ratio $a : b : a$ (which one can compute). Make the following construction for an arbitrary convex quadrilateral: divide each of its sides into three parts in this same ratio $a : b : a$, and draw a line through the two division points neighbouring each vertex. Prove that the new quadrilateral bounded by the four drawn lines has the same area as the original one.
