$n$ people are in the plane, so that the closest person is unique and each one shoot this closest person with a squirt gun. If $n$ is odd, prove that there exists at least one person that nobody shot. If $n$ is even, will there always be a person who escape? Justify that.
Hernan wants to paint a $8\times 8$ board such that every square is painted with blue or red. Also wants to every $3\times 3$ subsquare have exactly $a$ blue squares and every $2\times 4$ or $4\times 2$ rectangle have exactly $b$ blue squares. Find all couples $(a,b)$ such that Hernan can do the required.
Mark and William are playing a game with a stored value. On his turn, a player may either multiply the stored value by $2$ and add $1$ or he may multiply the stored value by $4$ and add $3$. The first player to make the stored value exceed $2^{100}$ wins. The stored value starts at $1$ and Mark goes first. Assuming both players play optimally, what is the maximum number of times that William can make a move?
(By optimal play, we mean that on any turn the player selects the move which leads to the best possible outcome given that the opponent is also playing optimally. If both moves lead to the same outcome, the player selects one of them arbitrarily.)
The centre of the circumcircle of quadrilateral $ABCD$ is $O$ and $O$ is not on any of the sides of $ABCD$. $P=AC \cap BD$. The circumecentres of $\triangle{OAB}$, $\triangle{OBC}$, $\triangle{OCD}$ and $\triangle{ODA}$ are $O_1$, $O_2$, $O_3$ and $O_4$ respectively.
Prove that $O_1O_3$, $O_2O_4$ and $OP$ are concurrent.

The size of the net is $100\times 10$ small squares. What is the maximal number of sides of small squares which can be cut without breaking the net into two separate pieces? (The side is cut only in the middle, not at the ends).
[b]p2.[/b] What number is bigger $2^{300}$ or $3^{200}$ ?
[b]p3.[/b] All noble knights participating in a medieval tournament in Camelot used nicknames. In the tournament each knight had combats with all other knights. In each combat one knight won and the second one lost. At the end of tournament the losers reported their real names to the winners and to the winners of their winners. Was there a person who knew the real names of all knights?
[b]p4.[/b] Two players Tom and Sid play the following game. There are two piles of rocks, $10$ rocks in the first pile and $12$ rocks in the second pile. Each of the players in his turn can take either any amount of rocks from one pile or the same amount of rocks from both piles. The winner is the player who takes the last rock. Who does win in this game if Tom starts the game?

Given two real numbers $a, b$ with $a \neq 0$, find all polynomials $P(x)$ which satisfy

A large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. At a certain time the shadow of the sphere reaches out a distance of $10$ m from the point where the sphere touches the ground. At the same instant a meter stick (held vertically with one end on the ground) casts a shadow of length $2$ m. What is the radius of the sphere in meters? (Assume the sun's rays are parallel and the meter stick is a line segment.)

Let $n$ be an integer, $n \ge 3$. Select $n$ points on the plane, none of which are three on the same line. Consider all triangles with vertices at selected points, denote the smallest of all the interior angles of these triangles by the variable $\alpha$. Find the largest possible value of $\alpha$ and identify all the selected $n$ point placements for which the max occurs.
Seven elves are sitting at a round table. Each elf has a cup. Some cups are filled with some milk. Each elf in turn and clockwise divides all his milk between six other cups. After the seventh has done this, every cup was containing the initial amount of milk. How much milk did every cup contain, if there was three litres of milk total?
Let $\Omega$ and $O$ be the circumcircle and the circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ with $AB > BC$. The angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects $\Omega$ at $M \ne B$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle with diameter $BM$. The angle bisectors of $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The point $R$ is chosen on the line $P Q$ so that $BR = MR$. Prove that $BR\parallel AC$.
(Here we always assume that an angle bisector is a ray.)
