$\frac{1-h}{2}<\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{2i}(x_{2i+1}-x_{2i-1})}\leq \frac{1+h}{2}$
At a certain mathematical conference, every pair of mathematicians are either friends or strangers. At mealtime, every participant eats in one of two large dining rooms. Each mathematician insists upon eating in a room which contains an even number of his or her friends. Prove that the number of ways that the mathematicians may be split between the two rooms is a power of two (i.e., is of the form $ 2^k$ for some positive integer $ k$).
Find the number of ways to split the numbers from $1$ to $12$ into $4$ non-intersecting sets of size $3$ such that each set has sum divisible by $3$.

Determine if there exists a function f: $N^*\to N^*$ that satisfies that for all $n \in N^*$, $$10^{f (n)} <10n + 1 <10^{f (n) +1}.$$ Justify your answer.
Note: $N^*$ denotes the set of positive integers.
In $ n$-dimensional Euclidean space, the square of the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure of a bounded, closed, (two-dimensional) planar set is equal to the sum of the squares of the measures of the orthogonal projections of the given set on the $ n$-coordinate hyperplanes.

A triangular pie has the same shape as its box, except that they are mirror images of each other. We wish to cut the pie in two pieces which can t together in the box without turning either piece over. How can this be done if
[list][b](a)[/b] one angle of the triangle is three times as big as another;
[b](b)[/b] one angle of the triangle is obtuse and is twice as big as one of the acute angles?[/list]
A function $f : \Bbb{N}_0 \to \Bbb{R}$ satisfies $f(1) = 3$ and \[f(m + n) + f(m - n) - m + n - 1 =\frac{f(2m) + f(2n)}{2},\]

Let $f, g:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ be functions that satisfy the following equation:

Prove that $g$ is the zero function on $\mathbb{N}$.
Let $ABC$ be equilateral, and $D, E,$ and $F$ be the midpoints of $\overline{BC}, \overline{CA},$ and $\overline{AB},$ respectively. There exist points $P, Q,$ and $R$ on $\overline{DE}, \overline{EF},$ and $\overline{FD},$ respectively, with the property that $P$ is on $\overline{CQ}, Q$ is on $\overline{AR},$ and $R$ is on $\overline{BP}.$ The ratio of the area of triangle $ABC$ to the area of triangle $PQR$ is $a+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a, b$ and $c$ are integers, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$?
Find all real values of parameter $ a$ for which the equation in $ x$
\[ 16x^4 \minus{} ax^3 \plus{} (2a \plus{} 17)x^2 \minus{} ax \plus{} 16 \equal{} 0
\]
has four solutions which form an arithmetic progression.
Emma's calculator has ten buttons: one for each digit $1, 2, \ldots, 9$, and one marked ``clear''. When Emma presses one of the buttons marked with a digit, that digit is appended to the right of the display. When she presses the ``clear'' button, the display is completely erased. If Emma starts with an empty display and presses five (not necessarily distinct) buttons at random, where all ten buttons have equal probability of being chosen, the expected value of the number produced is $\frac{m}{n}$, for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $100m+n$. (Take an empty display to represent the number 0.)

$8$ girls and $25$ boys stand in a circle. Between two girls, there are at least two boys. So, we have________ways.
For any positive integer $n$ consider all representations $n = a_1 + \cdots+ a_k$, where $a_1 > a_2 > \cdots > a_k > 0$ are integers such that for all $i \in \{1, 2, \cdots , k - 1\}$, the number $a_i$ is divisible by $a_{i+1}$. Find the longest such representation of the number $1992.$
Let $\otimes$ be a binary operation that takes two positive real numbers and returns a positive real number. Suppose further that $\otimes$ is continuous, commutative $(a\otimes b=b\otimes a)$, distributive across multiplication $(a\otimes(bc)=(a\otimes b)(a\otimes c))$, and that $2\otimes 2=4$. Solve the equation $x\otimes y=x$ for $y$ in terms of $x$ for $x>1$.
