A rectangle of size $ m \times n$ has been filled completely by trominoes (a tromino is an L-shape consisting of 3 unit squares). There are four ways to place a tromino 1st way: let the "corner" of the L be on top left 2nd way: let the "corner" of the L be on top right 3rd way: let the "corner" of the L be on bottom left 4th way: let the "corner" of the L be on bottom right Prove that the difference between the number of trominoes placed in the 1st and the 4th way is divisible by $ 3$.

If $ BC \equal{} 10$, then the sum of the lengths of the seven line segments: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{cannot be found from the given information} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \text{is }{33}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \text{is }{34}\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \text{is }{35}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \text{is }{45}$

A castle has a number of halls and $n$ doors. Every door leads into another hall or outside. Every hall has at least two doors. A knight enters the castle. In any hall, he can choose any door for exit except the one he just used to enter that hall. Find a strategy allowing the knight to get outside after visiting no more than $2n$ halls (a hall is counted each time it is entered).

Positive numbers $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ satisfy $$\frac1{1+x_1}+\frac1{1+x_2}+\ldots+\frac1{1+x_n}=1.$$Prove that $$\sqrt{x_1}+\sqrt{x_2}+\ldots+\sqrt{x_n}\ge(n-1)\left(\frac1{\sqrt{x_1}}+\frac1{\sqrt{x_2}}+\ldots+\frac1{\sqrt{x_n}}\right).$$

Let $n$ be a natural number. A sequence $x_1,x_2, \cdots ,x_{n^2}$ of $n^2$ numbers is called $n-\textit{good}$ if each $x_i$ is an element of the set $\{1,2,\cdots ,n\}$ and the ordered pairs $\left(x_i,x_{i+1}\right)$ are all different for $i=1,2,3,\cdots ,n^2$ (here we consider the subscripts modulo $n^2$). Two $n-$good sequences $x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_{n^2}$ and $y_1,y_2,\cdots ,y_{n^2}$ are called $\textit{similar}$ if there exists an integer $k$ such that $y_i=x_{i+k}$ for all $i=1,2,\cdots,n^2$ (again taking subscripts modulo $n^2$). Suppose that there exists a non-trivial permutation (i.e., a permutation which is different from the identity permutation) $\sigma$ of $\{1,2,\cdots ,n\}$ and an $n-$ good sequence $x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_{n^2}$ which is similar to $\sigma\left(x_1\right),\sigma\left(x_2\right),\cdots ,\sigma\left(x_{n^2}\right)$. Show that $n\equiv 2\pmod{4}$.

Whenever three successive switches all point in different directions, all three may be simultaneously turned so as to point in the fourth direction. Prove that this operation cannot be repeated infinitely many times.
