Let $\mathbb R$ be the real numbers. Set $S = \{1, -1\}$ and define a function $\operatorname{sign} : \mathbb R \to S$ by \[ \operatorname{sign} (x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x \ge 0; \\ -1 & \text{if } x < 0. \end{cases} \] Fix an odd integer $n$. Determine whether one can find $n^2+n$ real numbers $a_{ij}, b_i \in S$ (here $1 \le i, j \le n$) with the following property: Suppose we take any choice of $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \in S$ and consider the values \begin{align*} y_i &= \operatorname{sign} \left( \sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij} x_j \right), \quad \forall 1 \le i \le n; \\ z &= \operatorname{sign} \left( \sum_{i=1}^n y_i b_i \right) \end{align*} Then $z=x_1 x_2 \dots x_n$.

[b]p1.[/b] Three camps are located in the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The roads connecting camps are along the sides of the triangle. Captain America is inside the triangle and he needs to know the distances between camps. Being able to see the roads he has found that the sum of the shortest distances from his location to the roads is 50 miles. Can you help Captain America to evaluate the distances between the camps? [b]p2.[/b] $N$ regions are located in the plane, every pair of them have a non-empty overlap. Each region is a connected set, that means every two points inside the region can be connected by a curve all points of which belong to the region. Iron Man has one charge remaining to make a laser shot. Is it possible for him to make the shot that goes through all $N$ regions? [b]p3.[/b] Money in Wonderland comes in $\$5$ and $\$7$ bills. (a) What is the smallest amount of money you need to buy a slice of pizza that costs $\$1$ and get back your change in full? (The pizza man has plenty of $\$5$ and $\$7$ bills.) For example, having $\$7$ won't do since the pizza man can only give you $\$5$ back. (b) Vending machines in Wonderland accept only exact payment (do not give back change). List all positive integer numbers which CANNOT be used as prices in such vending machines. (That is, find the sums of money that cannot be paid by exact change.) [b]p4.[/b] (a) Put $5$ points on the plane so that each $3$ of them are vertices of an isosceles triangle (i.e., a triangle with two equal sides), and no three points lie on the same line. (b) Do the same with $6$ points. [b]p5.[/b] Numbers $1,2,3,…,100$ are randomly divided in two groups $50$ numbers in each. In the first group the numbers are written in increasing order and denoted $a_1,a_2, ..., a_{50}$. In the second group the numberss are written in decreasing order and denoted $b_1,b_2, ..., b_{50}$. Thus $a_1<a_2<...<a_{50}$ and $ b_1>b_2>...>b_{50}$. Evaluate $|a_1-b_1|+|a_2-b_2|+...+|a_{50}-b_{50}|$. PS. You should use hide for answers.

Let $ABCD$ be a unit square and let $E$ and $F$ be points inside $ABCD$ such that the line containing $\overline{EF}$ is parallel to $\overline{AB}$. Point $E$ is closer to $\overline{AD}$ than point $F$ is to $\overline{AD}$. The line containing $\overline{EF}$ also bisects the square into two rectangles of equal area. Suppose $[AEF B] = [DEFC] = 2[AED] = 2[BFC]$. The length of segment $\overline{EF}$ can be expressed as $m/n$ , where m and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.
